About Hoot

Meet Hoot! Hoot is a fun-loving, active young pup who was born in December 2024. He was found dumped outside a Dollar General before coming into rescue, but he’s now learning what safety, stability, and love truly feel like, and he’s ready to find a forever family willing to help him keep growing. Hoot thrives on outdoor time, play sessions, and having a canine buddy to romp around with. He absolutely loves running and playing outside, would do best in a home with a playful companion, and settles in nicely at night, often choosing to sleep right beside the bed. Hoot has been accident-free in his foster home, is crate trained, and has even earned free roam privileges when his foster leaves because he’s such a good boy.

Ideal Home

Hoot would do best in a home with a playful canine companion. He can be a little shy and skittish if approached too quickly and may be slightly stand-offish while building trust, so he’ll need a patient adopter who understands that confidence comes with time and consistency. A secure fenced yard and continued leash or harness use in public will help him feel safe as he continues gaining confidence.

Ongoing Health

Hoot is up-to-date on all vaccinations, deworming, and flea/heartworm prevention. He has been microchipped and will receive a health exam and certificate from a veterinarian within 10 days of adoption.

Training & Support

Hoot walks well on a leash and is just beginning his basic obedience training. He is accident-free and crate trained. While he is okay with cats, he can be curious.
