Hewgo

Good things come in small packages and well, BIG packages, too! Hewgo is a five year old Black Bi Australian Shepherd with crystal blue eyes (Move over Frank Sinatra, there is a new Chairman of the Board!) This very easy-going, calm, handsome boy simply just loves being loved. He knows commands, walks perfectly on a leash, does not react to bicycles or runners. He has been friendly men, women or children when on walks on the rail trail. He is curious and friendly to most other dogs. He interacts well with children in playing fetch; he actually drops the ball on command and can't wait till the next throw! In his previous life, it appears food was a priority. His current daily 1.7 mile early morning walks on the rail trail are getting him more fit. He can be a counter surfer, but takes correction quickly and easily. He loves meal time and patiently awaits his bowl to be set and the command to eat. He is such a gentlemen at 75 lbs and losing. He came to us with a very thick coat, the top of which is a bit curly. With our daily brushing, it is becoming less and less. I can tell you that the ladies love his curls and he knows it. He smiles and gives them the "side eye" with his crystal blues. Hewgo is calm with visitors and the household in general. He does like to come to the door, but does not jump; he simply sniffs. He does not bark at the door bell; he has not barked at passers-by while inside. Occasionally, he will jump up on the furniture with you to cuddle. This wooly lamb of a boy is also housebroken and crate trained. He was excellent for his bath; walked right into the tub, stood still and relished the refreshing lather, rub and rinse. He shockingly laid down for the "blow out" and fell asleep. Hewgo is a gem, deserving only of the kindest of homes. The best fit for Hewgo would be a home where daily exercise/walk(s) are a given. His energy level is medium; he is not hyper. He has sat calmly with family on a leash in the front yard watching neighborhood activity. A fenced yard would be a bonus. He loves being in the know. Oh, did I mention he loves to ride in the car and is absolutely PERFECT! He rides calmly in the back, and awaits command to exit. In the evening, he is content to sleep on a cool floor, or he retreats to an open kennel on his own. Although he likes to be with his person, he is content to simply be within sight. Are you the perfect home for this new Chairman of the Board? Hewgo is currently being fostered in Lebanon, PA. To apply for Hewgo please visit www.ns4ar.org
