Huck was getting a belly rub when he found out he had a new sponsor – thanks Ann A for the Huck love. 

Mr. Huckleberry is proud to announce his new sponsor, Patrice L.  Thanks Patrice for the love.

Hi! My name is Huckleberry but Huck will do. I’m about 3 years old, tall and lean at 73 lbs. When I was found on the side of the road I had a few breaks in my pelvis and a dislocated hip but all is well now and the Doc has given me a clean bill of health. No more restrictions – YAY. The Doc calls me Mr. Personality!!

While I’m a pretty friendly boy, I will need my new family to help guide me on making the right choices. I’m affectionate and engaging when I meet new friends and do especially great with humans who understand us GSDs. I’m not a couch potato type and I really need to get in my daily exercise and socialization. I love playing with other dogs, large or small, and I really like walking (I need to build up my muscles again). I’m not a wild child and will settle by your side and chill when asked to. I am quite well behaved in the house and don’t get into things that aren’t mine. I enjoy belly rubs and will tolerate being brushed but I do get a little wiggly if it goes on too long.

I could use a little practice walking on leash and will pull if allowed to however I do great with a front clip harness. I don’t bark or carry on at other dogs and I think car rides are the BOMB. I can barely wait to jump in and GO. I’m great when my foster fam takes me out for breakfast. I lay quietly under the table until they are done.

I’ve seen a few cats and I’m not quite sure if I want to chase them or say hi. I may be a little overwhelming for scaredy-cats. I do like the little humans but I’m a big boy and may accidentally knock a tiny one over so older kids, say 12+, would probably be best. 

If you have a little patience and don’t mind helping me figure some things out, I won’t disappoint you. I’m a good boy and super handsome – a GSD through and through. My friends say that I am a terrific and loving companion. I’ll be learning some new things with my foster family in Benicia if you would like to meet me.
