Story
What do you call a small little pup with exceptionally long legs? Shorty, of course! Meet Shorty, the not-so-vertically challenged cutie pie who is ready to strut his way right into your heart. Shorty is a 3-year-old Bluetick Coonhound mix who weighs 34 pounds, although it's he working on gaining quite a few lbs. He was rescued from the kill shelter in Swainsboro, Georgia, and despite a rough past and working to overcome a lot of hardship, he has not let it dampen his character. Shorty will be ready to join his new family on January 17, and he’s counting down the days until then!
Shorty is a very gentle and loving guy who is happy to give and receive all the attention he can! He is calm and relaxed, appreciating the joys of a slow walk around the park and a warm nap in a sunny patch of grass. Shorty is working on his leash skills, and once he gets moving, he’s great at keeping up (those long legs help a lot). Shorty would love frequent walks to explore the world around him and take in the goodness of all the world has to show him.
Shorty would be an ideal companion for any family, whether one person or a house full. He would get along well with other dogs and kids, but he’s best suited for a home without cats. Shorty hopes you’ll walk tall right into the rescue and come meet him soon—he may just be the new best friend for you!
Shorty is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped.
**Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org**
HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!
In order to apply for adoption and set up an individual meet and greet with one of our dogs, please visit us at www.hfgdr.org.
