Harry

Hey there, folks! The name's Harry, and I'm a 3-year-old hound mix with a knack for sniffing out adventures and treats. You could say I've got a nose for fun--literally! Life in the shelter was a bit of a roller coaster. Imagine this: a place where the air is thick with the scent of kibble, the walls echo with barks, and the occasional squirrel taunts you from just outside the window. For a hound like me, it was like living in a theme park of smells! I was always the first to volunteer for a sniffing mission. My nose led me on countless escapades, tracking down every intriguing scent. Oh, and did I mention my baying sound? Whenever I thought I had cornered a squirrel or rabbit, I'd let out this adorable howl that made everyone smile. It's like my own personal alarm system, alerting everyone to my discoveries. Now, I have a bit of a reputation for being an escape artist. My foster family nicknamed me Harry Houdini. However, they say now that I've had some time to settle in, a big backyard to run in, and a couple of dog playmates, I have stopped trying to escape. I even listen when they leave and tell me to get back, instead of trying to get out the door with them now. I'm making such good progress. I am also really sweet and loving. I have really became much more affectionate now that I feel safe. I was one of the best behaved dogs at our adoption event, showing off with my sit and shake skills. I got to love on every little kid that came by and that made me so happy. Kids are the best! I'm a really smart boy who is eager to please. Oh! If you need a guard dog to alert you of intruders or rogue squirrels, I'm your guy. I have a really soft raspy bay for a bark so it's not very loud or intimidating. Just enough to let you know something is afoot. So if you have a nice fenced yard for me to run in, and some kids or other dogs to play with, I'm your guy! Come meet me and let's sniff out a lifetime of fun together! Here's to new beginnings, endless treats, and all the cuddles a hound like me could ever dream of. This is Harry, signing off with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart!Fill out an adoption application online at: https://www.hshcky.org/
