MR. HUMPHREY - TERRIER / RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Please contact JoEllen (sagdinfoaol) for more information about this pet. Please apply online at texasgreatdane/adoption-application/ Hello, My name is Mr. Humphrey and I am a gentleman ready for a home! SSPCA rescued me in April and changed the course of my life. I was scared and confused and alone in the world. I didn't make any noise at all and didn’t trust anyone. One day I was in a pen with another dog just watching the people. This lady, in a big chair that rolls, came up and started talking to me. She took me for a walk, and I was so good she decided to take me home. At first, I feared everything, but she was calm and let me decide to trust her when I was ready. 5 months later: I now have both the AKC Canine Good Citizen and the AKC Urban Canine Good Citizen Certification! The trainer says I would be a great Emotional Support Dog and is willing to complete that training for free here in San Antonio. Now it is time to meet my forever home with all these great new skills to share! I have learned so much! I walk on a leash like the gentleman I am. I know how to sit, drop, stand, stay, wait, and many other things. I am patient and calm when we are putting on my leash and I never jump on people. I know how to move around wheelchairs and canes and learned how to stand on the footrest so it is easier to pet me. I love to go for walks and see the world. I like to look out the window when we go on trips. I am learning to play with toys and to trust no one is going to hurt me. The lady says I am super smart and now that I know how, the best sofa cuddler. I would like to be in a home where I can have a soft bed, that is my safe space. I sometimes just want to look at you and know I'm safe near you. I like to shake hands with new people, but it will take a bit of time to trust them. While I don’t mind other dogs, I don’t really want to play with them. It would be great to have a home where the other dog is calm or just being the only dog. I think cats are fun to chase, so the lady says I shouldn't live with them. I would do best in a home that doesn’t have small children. It's important you know, the vet says I have cow-hocked rear limbs which cause a short stride. Sometimes I’m in pain, however, it is managed with medicine when my limp gives me away. My new family will have to ensure to manage this for me. I’m not great at jumping up on things but am happy to have help. I do have all my shots, microch ip and am of course neutered. Mr Humphrey is around 3 yrs old and weighs 55#. His adoption fee is $200 and an online application can be completed at .texasgreatdane. - IMPORTANT INFORMATION - SASPCA Homeward Bound Dog Rescue and San Antonio Great Dane Rescue are 501(c)(3) foster-based rescue groups based in San Antonio, Texas.
