Hocus is a "happy, sweet boy" who has truly blossomed in his foster home and is ready to find his forever pack.<br/><br/>If you love the great outdoors, Hocus is your guy! He thrives on physical activity and currently enjoys three hours of exercise a day. He is a superstar on the trail with "amazing recall," making him a dream companion for free-hiking with other dogs. Whether it’s a long hike or a trip in the car (which he absolutely loves), Hocus is always up for an adventure. After a day of fun, he is perfectly calm in the house and loves nothing more than lounging in a sunny backyard.<br/><br/>Hocus is a polite housemate who is fully house-trained and non-destructive. He is highly food-motivated and already knows a variety of commands, including sit, stay, come, drop, and down. While he is crate trained, he has earned enough trust to sleep outside his crate on a dog bed at night.<br/><br/>Hocus is a "dog’s dog" who needs a home with another canine sibling to run and play with. Because he can be a bit shy with new people and sudden movements, he is looking for a patient, active family who understands that trust is earned. While he isn't a "cuddle bug" right away and prefers his personal space, his loyalty to "his people" is deep.<br/><br/>Hocus is a loyal, athletic, and gentle soul who just needs a patient hand to guide him. Once you’re in his inner circle, you’ll have a dedicated companion for life!
