HIGGINS's Story

??? Meet Higgins – From Stray Life to Snuggle Life ??? Sweet Higgins came to us as a stray after repeatedly showing up at his finder’s home. On one occasion, someone even appeared to pick him up—only for him to be left behind again. ?? But now, this 1-year-old cutie is safe at ICAS and ready for the forever family he truly deserves. Higgins’ intake photo tells the story of how stressful shelter life can feel at first... but his playtime pictures with ACT Lily and Volunteer Cierra show his real personality shining through! ?? This handsome boy is the total package: ? Knows “sit” ? Loves toys and zoomies ? Keeps a tidy kennel (seems housebroken!) ? 38 pounds of perfect cuddle size He recently met a similar-sized spayed female here at the shelter and showed off his playful side with zoomies galore! ???? Higgins is ready to trade in his stray days for a life filled with love, cuddles, and play. ?? Please come meet Higgins at ICAS and see if he’s your new best friend! ?? As always, we recommend meet-and-greets with other dogs and children to ensure the best fit for everyone. Higgins' fee is waived AND his adopter will receive two FREE sessions with HK9 Training!
