HOTCH

Hi there! Im Hotch. My friends call me Hotchy Hoo. Have you scrolled through my photos and videos yet? If so, youve probably already noticed a few things about me : I have GIGANTIC eyeballs. The more to adore you with! My ears stick out like little satellite antennas. The better to hear you tell me that Im a good boy! I have the best smile. So you always know Im very happy to be with you! Over the past few months, Ive been living it up in foster. And while my foster humans are awesome, we all think Im ready for my forever home! I have sooo many amazing qualities! Lets start with the obvious stuff. I love meeting new people. In fact, I love all the humans so much that I landed a gig as a new volunteer mentor dog when I was at the shelter. And at home, I love having visitors over - especially when we all get to snuggle up on the couch for movie night! From my time in a home, we know that Im house trained, a quiet companion, can keep myself busy by playing with my toys, I love a good romp around the backyard, but also love to chill on a couch. Out and about, I absolutely love a good stroll. Im a pretty easy peasy guy on the leash, although those pesky cats can be a little exciting! I also have this on-going game with squirrelsI walk super slowly towards then, they dart up a tree, and by the time I get to where the squirrel was hes looking down at me laughing. Its the best game! My volunteer friends have taken me on so many local adventures : Im an ATX lover through and through. Ive been to the greenbelt (I love to swim), McKinney Falls State Park, downtown to see the Capitol, Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail, Zeds for ice cream, and my most favorite stop is getting a burger from P. Terrys. My human friends can tell you so much more, but I think the one thing theyd want you to know most is that I have a heart of gold and even though Im young at heart, I have an old soul spirit. I may look tough, but I am sensitive and kind. I can quickly pick up on how my humans are feeling and know how to connect with them in a meaningful way. I have been through a lot the last few years, but I havent let that crush my hopes of finding my forever people. Maybe youre the one? If you think you might be, please reach out to my best volunteers and advocates, Orange Dot Crew. I go home with their full support and theyd love to tell you more about me in person.
