Herkimer's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/>Hi, I’m<br/><br/>Herkimer<br/><br/>— professional ball chaser, certified goofball, and full-time lover of my humans. I’m 4.5 years old, 65 pounds of handsome sweetness, and I take my responsibilities very seriously... especially if they involve tennis balls.<br/><br/>My dream life is pretty simple:<br/><br/>Love my people with my whole heart<br/>Chase the ball like it’s the Olympics<br/>Parade around proudly with my favorite stuffies<br/><br/>I’m what you’d call a medium-energy guy — I can happily run, swim, play fetch, and explore all day, but I’m also very into cuddling up with my humans afterward. Balance, you know?<br/><br/>When I meet new people, I act like we’ve been best friends forever. Expect enthusiastic tail wags, happy kisses, and lots of excitement. I adore adults and do best with older kiddos (8+) who can handle my happy-boy enthusiasm.<br/><br/>I also get along great with other dogs! Sometimes I get so focused on THE BALL that I forget they’re even there. What can I say? I have priorities.<br/><br/>I’m crate trained, potty trained, and very proud of myself for both. I’m also an excellent stuffie collector and would love to show you my favorites. Bonus points if you tell me I’m handsome while I carry them around.<br/><br/>My perfect home would have:<br/><br/>A yard to zoom around in<br/>Active humans who want an adventure buddy<br/>Lots of love and attention<br/>Tennis balls. Many, many tennis balls.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a goofy grin, a heart of gold, and elite fetch skills, I think we should meet. I’ll be the one waiting patiently... probably with a tennis ball in my mouth.<br/><br/>Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
