Meet Hamish

Oh Hammy.... where do I begin?

Hammy is such a characteristic boy.

This young stud was lucky enough to make his way to us from Indiana after giving some kind citizen's a couple weeks chase to catch him to get him to safety.

Hamish had heartworms and was terrified being put in the shelter so it was asked that he come out to us to try and help him adjust and learn a new way of living.

Hamish has been with us for a few months and has had a couple of potential adoptions that have fallen through due to him being a butthead.

You see, Hammy is a FANTASTIC dog, but he has low confidence. While with me at our shelter and on all of our road trips we are an amazing bonded team and I get the BEST behavior from him. He knows he needs not be scared when he has a strong, confident and patient person around who is willing to set down the rules. What bothers Hamish is the unknown. Change. Uncertainty. Hamish thrives on stability, comfort, patience and guidance.

The most suitable home for Hamish would be one with people who can be understanding of his needs and willing to work through his reservations. Hamish definitely prefers a female counterpart to male.

Once settled into a new lifestyle I see no reason why he wouldn't be the same dog that gives me kisses every morning, dances to country love songs with me, cuddles better than most dogs I know and jumps right in when invited to engage.

If you are looking for a bit so will melt your heart and stay right by your side and show you all the love in the world please shoot an application in from our website www.perfectpawsanimalrescue.org.
