Age: 1  Sex: Male   Breed: Pit Mix  Weight: 71 Pounds

Rupert has been struggling with his barrier reactivity in our care – he’s often frustrated that he can’t get out of his kennel when people walk by! Rupert would benefit from a quiet area where he has the opportunity to chill out and adjust to home life, but also lots of enrichment and engagement. He’s been receptive to training here and would benefit from learning more skills with a foster! He would likely do best as an only dog but could meet potential foster-siblings with slow, controlled introductions. Rupert may do well with quieter, dog-savvy kids but discretion should be used with kids under 12 due to his size and barrier reactivity.

 

How to Foster Rupert:

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.
