Hayes’s adoption donation is $500 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning.

Although Hayes came into rescue from a puppy mill with the typical behaviors, today, he is a happy, playful guy, plays with toys, looks out the windows, the patio and the screened porch, and likes to be chased.  In fact, you might just think he is a bit shy. 

He will carry his toys around with him, and so he will help with the laundry if you drop anything on the floor!  He sits to allow his harness and leash to be put on.  He comes when you call him.  He loves dinner time and treats (no calling is necessary - he knows where to go!)  and he would give his favorite stuffie for another dog to play with.  He has turned into quite the power walker, and enjoys going, setting a brisk pace, and will do his business.  He travels calmly and relaxed in the car.  Housetraining is most successful when he is kept on a schedule.  He will need a fenced yard.  He also may need medicated baths to limit yeast growth.  

The perfect home for Hayes will have patient humans, and a companion dog who is easy-going, will take him on walks, and make sure he has lots of toys.  He has come so far.  Does your pack have room for this little guy?  He sure hopes so!
