Hoggle's Story

Picture this, it's morning, the sun is beginning to break through your window, you know you need to get ready for work, and you open your eyes...to see a little bundle of fur anxiously wagging his tail, smiling, and looking forward to his morning scritches. Just like that, your morning worries are replaced with the most heartfelt joy the world has to offer. That’s what waking up with Hoggle in your home feels like.<br/><br/>Hoggle has been through some tough times. He’s about 8 years old and was so neglected when he first came in, he was practically bald from stress. He came from a home of over 50 dogs. He was not cared for or loved. All of that changed when he came to North Paw Rescue. After a few months in loving foster care Hoggle’s fur has grown out and he’s beginning to learn how to be a dog; and he’s doing great.<br/><br/>He likes cuddling, especially when having his ears scratched. He's excited to see people when they return home but he doesn't feel the need to greet them exuberantly. He has several comfy spots he likes to rotate between. He loves observing everything that’s going on. Every now and then, he feels the urge to play with a toy or bounce around, but he’s usually just a quiet little guy.<br/><br/>Hoggle is crate trained and goes potty on a schedule. He does not enjoy doing his business while leashed though, and has a history of trying to (and succeeding at) making a break for freedom, which is one reason a fenced yard is ideal for him.<br/><br/>You might wonder what breed Hoggle is. Because of the generosity of Embark, we were able to get that information for you! Hoggle is 60.5% chihuahua, 10.8% toy fox terrier, 8.3% bichon frise, 7.4% russell-type terrier, 7.1% beagle, and 5.9% miniature schnauzer. Quite the mix, right?<br/><br/>Because Hoggle came from such a tumultuous background, his new family will need to be sure to give him plenty of space and time. It takes him a while to warm up to new people and places. But once he does he’ll be one of the family. We suggest having some cheese handy to help; he loves to nibble on some cheese.<br/><br/>Hoggle's ideal home will offer lots of petting, scritches, plenty of comfy spots, patience and a fenced yard. Hoggle would also benefit from a canine sibling to help him learn the routines of his new home. He should not have any young human siblings though. Loud noises and sudden movements still frighten him and he would prefer a life without anyone younger than 10 in it on a regular basis.<br/><br/>Hoggle's adoption fee is $400! This adoption fee includes: his alter, his dental work, his wart removal, a microchip, his rabies, bordetella, and age appropriate DAPP vaccines, flea/heartworm preventative, and a deworming treatment while in foster care.<br/><br/>If you think he may be perfect for you, please apply using the link below!<br/><br/>https://www.cognitoforms.com/NorthPawRescue/NorthPawRescueAdoptionApplication<br/><br/>**Unfortunately, we cannot adopt out to Canada at this time.<br/><br/>**We require a 60 minute adoption radius. This dog is currently being fostered in Rochester, NY.
