Huck

Hi, my name is Huck!<br/>I’m a true Anatolian Shepherd through and through — strong in body and mind. If you know anything about my breed, you know we were made to protect. We defend livestock from predators like coyotes, wolves, and even big cats. I took that guarding job to heart… just not always with livestock.<br/><br/>I grew up with an elderly man and my two sisters, and I made it my mission to protect them. When my person passed away, my world got turned upside down. I ended up at the shelter — scared, confused, and surrounded by so many new dogs. At first, I was very defensive of my sisters. I didn’t know these new faces meant me no harm. But now that I’ve settled into the shelter routine, I’ve relaxed a lot and realized the staff and other dogs aren’t here to hurt me.<br/><br/>Back at my old home, I only trusted my owner to put me on a leash. Here, I’m learning that other humans can be safe leaders too — it just takes me a little time. I’m loyal, bold, and yes, a little bit stubborn (comes with the territory for a guardian dog like me). Before I do anything new, I like to make sure everything’s okay first.<br/><br/>I know my perfect home is out there — one that understands big, protective dogs like me and can appreciate both my strength and my heart. If you’re ready for a loyal guardian who takes his job seriously, I might just be your guy.
