House has been quite nervous at the shelter, but his surrender profile paints a very different picture than the dog we are seeing. His previous owner indicates that he can be sensitive to loud noises, so the bustling shelter environment is likely too much for him. We are hoping to get him into a foster home where we can get a more accurate picture of his behavior in a home environment. He has a history of jumping fences and will need to be on a leash or tie out when outside, or only out while actively supervised. He lived in a home with young children previously and was said to do well with them, aside from some excitable and jumpy behavior. His profile indicates he has not had issues interacting with other dogs but he has been indifferent or uncomfortable with other dogs at the shelter. He will benefit from meeting dogs before going to foster with them and will likely do best with a slower intro in the home with initial separation. He historically does not do well with cats.

How to Foster House:

New fosters can take the first step by learning about fostering and signing up to become a new foster. Veteran foster parents can email fosters@hshv.org to schedule a pickup appointment.
