Huey Loves Hugs

Huey would be the captain of the track team who volunteers on the weekends at the local hospital. He is athletic and personable, a great balance, and it doesn't hurt that he is handsome. The reality though is he is a dog, with legs made for adventure and love to share. We estimate Huey to be around a 2-years-old and we suspect he may be a Labrador mix but of course because he is a rescue, those details cannot be guaranteed. He is a great mid-size boy weighing in at 56 lbs. You surely noticed in his photos but this boy has a set of ears on him that are so expressive and ensure he doesn't miss anything.

Huey is so fortunate and has been in a loving foster home while he waits for his adoption day. This is wonderful for him and you! He gets to master all the skills needed to be the best boy and you get a dog that is home-life ready. When you get a puppy it's a cross your fingers and hope you get a good one; you never get to know if their personality is going to be the dreamy fit you hope for. That is the beauty of choosing a rescue though; you practically get a spec sheet and know if the quirks are the ones you're okay with. With that, Huey has quirks that are common in rescue dogs and will be nothing short of just that - quirks. A confident loving person by his side, some basic structure and consistency is all any dog needs to succeed.

Huey is incredibly smart, motivated, and responds well to being led with confidence. He straightens up and comes to life when his leash is handed to someone he is familiar with and approaches him with respect and expectation. This is a boy that thrives with boundaries! And thanks to his foster family, he does great in a crate, is house-trained, and knows how to settle indoors. His fosters shared that he enjoys following his people around, a bit ninja-like, a quiet shadow. He doesn't want to disturb you, just to be close to you. He is active and has a thing for the great outdoors—whether its a mountain trail or a quick ride around town, Huey will be ready to tag along. Bonus, he rides well in the car, likes a good breeze, and won't say no to a nap on the couch after any adventure, big or small. While he can be affectionate, he's not overly needy. Huey has a head start on being the best boy, all the potential and drive, with a lot of love to give. With his very-own forever person, you'll be headed into a really good life together.

Ideal Home

Apartment life is not his favorite. If you watched his video, you know his love of running and playing in the backyard is too true and deep for him to ever live without a yard to let loose in. Also, apartment life means all potty breaks are on leash and he is still working on his leash skills in busy areas. Navigating hallways and sidewalks on leash multiple times a day is just not the Huey vibe. No fast-life or busy-cities for Huey. Long-term living with kids is not for him, though he does enjoy children visiting.
