Huck Hound Mix Bancroft, ON

Meet Huck, a charming hound mix that is looking for a special home to call his own.



Huck has come a long way since his initial intake to HART foster care. He was just over a year old when removed from a local pound...2 bullet fragments in his broken hip, suffering severe pneumonia...Huck was advertised for adoption by the pound as "ready to hunt".



Early days in foster care Huck exhibited severe Post Traumatic Shock. He hid from all things human, having known only the worst of people. Fear ruled his existence and for some weeks prevented other than very limited progress.



Comprehensive vet care, good food, a warm bed and the gentle touch of loving foster guardian hands eventually convinced Huck that life could be good. Steadily Huck returned to confidence, loving the company of his 3 dog pack. In fact he enjoys all other dogs, playing with them gently as they have visited his foster home. A lover of the great outdoors, Huck loves offleash runs in his large fenced yard.



He has the softest mouth and finally will take treats when offered by hand. Salami was the icebreaker, the first of many hand-fed treats offered, that he trusted well enough to take.



Huck now runs with the pack to greet all visitors at the door. He stays to enjoy friendly pats from anyone willing to stroke his soft coat. Not a big cuddler, he does prefer to sleep beside you in bed.
Huck maintains a startle reflex to loud noise. However, he no longer hides for days at the drop of a spoon. Now he simply moves out of the room to find comfort on his own bed. He will need a quiet, adult only home.




Huck is around 3 years old, weighs 45 lbs, is utd on shots, and is neutered.



He is ready now to find a family to call his own. If you would like to be considered for giving Huck a loving forever home, please complete an adoption application found at www.hartanimalrelief.ca
Huck's adoption fee is $275 A fenced yard is required.
