Hootie is one of our sanctuary dogs. He is at a foster home. He has been with us 2 1/2 years and he is now 5 years old. His owner moved to chicago and Hootie, an already fearful dog could not handle the traffic, horns and city life. The owner could not walk him on the chicago streets.
When Hootie came to us our intention was to put him up for adoption right away. This did not happen because he was so scared here at first. Hootie is still a scared dog , but not with us. We really need to find him a home. He craves love and attention, which he gets here, although he must share it with the other dogs. He really needs his own human. He sleeps in the bed at night. He is a house dog, our Sanctuary Dogs are all in foster homes. He is housbroken. He is a sweet, loving and a wonderful boy. When he gets to know you he will always being lying at your side, or try to get on your lap. He is good with other dogs, however he seldom plays. He just wants his humans. He lays under his fosters desk when she is working. He is always there by her side.
He will be EXTREMELY scared when he goes to a new home. It took him a couple of weeks to come around. He is available under our Foster to Adopt Program. He needs someone home during the day. He will never be a social butterfly, he will always be a homebody. If you travel or go on vacations he can't be boarded or go along with you. He would need a dog sitter to come to your home. Hootie cannot be in a home with lots of activity. Any noise or quick moves scares him, where he will jump and look around. He will hide from strangers . He needs a quiet home with one or two people that will be his forever family. He is a homebody. . He is calm, quiet and very well behaved.
He would do best in a home with no children living in the house, or a home with teens. If anyone comes to visit he will just go and hide until he knows them. He does not bite or growl, he is very submissive, just scared of new things and new people.
He needs a secure fenced in yard. Someone who is home such as a healthy active retired couple because can live another 10-12 years. His new family must live no farther than 50 miles away from Grovertown, Indiana. We would want you to come and meet him here, and if it goes good we will need to bring him to your house. It may take a couple of visits if we feel he needs to get to know you better. We are in no rush for him to leave. We need to find the right home for him. Hooties adoption fee is $100. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. For more information on our Foster to Adopt Program go to this link https://indianasaveadog.com/foster-to-adopt
