Boy's Story

Well hey there, friend. Name's Boy -- simple, sure, but it's served me just fine these 13 years I've been wanderin' this world.<br/><br/>I'm a Basset Hound/St. Bernard mix, which means I've got the long, low charm of a Basset and the big, soft heart of a Saint. Folks say I'm a "unique-looking gentleman," and I reckon that's true -- you don't see many like me moseyin' around these days. I'm a 97-pound old-timer who really oughta be closer to 62, but bless my heart, I've never been one to turn down a good meal. We're workin' on it.<br/><br/>Now, don't let this gray muzzle fool ya -- I'm still sharp as a tack. I remember everything, and I mean everything. I know how to sit, stay, and if you're lucky, I'll even give you a high five with my big ol' paw. I walk real polite on a leash, and I'm housetrained like the gentleman I am.<br/><br/>What I love most in this life is bein' close to my people. I'm affectionate in that slow, steady, dependable way -- the kind of dog who'll rest his big head on your knee when you've had a long day, or lean in real gentle just to remind you you're not alone. And if you ever need a little help or a moment of comfort, well... I'm known to lend a paw when needed.<br/><br/>I do have some severe allergies, so I'll need my daily meds to stay comfortable and healthy. But keep me on those, give me a soft place to nap, and maybe a little ear scratchin', and I'll be your loyal ol' companion through thick and thin.<br/><br/>If you're lookin' for wisdom, warmth, and a whole lotta love wrapped up in one low-ridin' senior gentleman... well darlin', I just might be your Boy. 🧡🐾<br/>****************<br/>All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If not already spayed/neutered, there may be a short delay between when you select this pet and when they are ready to go home.<br/><br/>Breed and age are determined based on observable physical traits. Actual lineage and birth date are rarely known.<br/><br/>Adoption Fees:<br/>-$60 for cats<br/>-$60 for dogs over 6 years<br/>-$80 for dogs 6 months old to 6 years<br/>-$100 for puppies up to 6 months<br/><br/>Come visit our pets Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-2pm.
