About Hoot

Hoot is a fun-loving, active young pup who 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. 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 was born in December 2024.

Ideal Home

Hoot would do best in a home with a playful canine companion and a secure fenced yard. 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. Continued leash or harness use in public will help him feel safe as he continues gaining confidence.

Ongoing Health

Hoot will be current on all vaccinations, deworming, flea/heartworm prevention, and will have a microchip. A health exam will be completed and a certificate issued by a veterinarian within 10 days of transport.

Training & Support

Hoot walks well on a leash and is just beginning his basic obedience training. He is crate trained and has earned free roam privileges.
