HUDSON's Story
Hello! I was surrendered to the shelter when my owner could no longer care for me. I did a great job for my intake exam and vaccines, and I seem to LOVE people. My previous owner reports that I do not do well with other pets (cats and dogs), so I may need to be the only pet in a home. They also reported that I am a little overwhelming to children, especially small children. I'll need older children and adults that understand my boundaries and know how to help me redirect my energy. I am very sweet, very handsome, and I know the right home is out there for me! Notes from my adventure buddies and foster friends: He’s one of the best dogs I have ever walked! He’s super friendly, loves petting, and would be a great pet! Hudson was a very good boy. Extremely friendly with us from the moment that we met. We took him on a walk around the shelter and when we got back he was excited to greet the shelter employees and love on them. He walked great on this walk, no pulling and kept checking back to back sure the person who wasn't holding the leash was following (think it a herding thing). He kept pace super well, but slowed a little towards the end (I think he had already been walked once that day). Overall great super mellow dog. Hudson is an amazing dog! He is very well behaved, will eagerly go on walks and then come back and chill out. He is very loving and loves to be around people. Even though he is an older dog, he still has a lot of energy to run around and tire himself out. He will do well with owners who can provide him with a lot of attention throughout the day because he is most happy when he is around people. Despite his age, Hudson is still very much an energetic baby. He loves people and is always happy to be near us. He is absolutely a Velcro dog and will be your shadow anywhere you go. Being an older dog, it is a bit difficult to teach him new commands, but as long as you have treats for him, he is happy to try to learn. He tends to jump and climb on people, which can be overwhelming for some guests. He is also a bit impatient when it comes to food and walks, and tends to rush outside as soon as you open the door. He is quite picky and doesn't like regular kibble. We mix in premium kibble and dog-friendly food (eggs, chicken, carrots, etc.), which he will happily slurp up. Hudson is a super adorable and wonderful dog! He is the ultimate lovebug and always wants to be near you. He is house trained and has not shown destructive behavior. When he isn't attacking his squeak toys or jumping around for fun, he loves relaxing next to you. Obsessed with pets and cuddles, so you'll always have a cuddle buddy with Hudson.
