Hi!
My name is Dude and I came from the transport to OPH on 8/16/24. I’m guessed to be a Plott Hound mixed breed dog. I am a 2 year old guy and weigh about 33lbs.
My foster mom says I’m a very sweet & loving boy who also has a spunky side. I love to play. Tug-of-war, fetch, and chewing on toys are my favorite.
I am housetrained. I am also doing very well learning how to politely walk on a leash. I know to “sit” and “leave it” when my humans ask me to and “up” & “down.” I still get excited & jump up sometimes.
I am very affectionate and snuggly and I love to hang around my favorite humans. But when it’s play time, I crank up the energy and show my adventurous side as I run around and have fun. I am gentle when I take a treat and I am polite around children. My foster mom says I did great when I met my first dog and now I’ve been only feet away from cats through a screen and I didn't even pay them any attention. I get all wiggly and squirmy when I get petted and even whine if I know you!
As for being in the crate, it’s not my favorite but I know it’s safe so I don’t really mind being in there. At night, if my foster mom is within sight of my crate, I might whine a little but then I settle down ok. It’s all so new to me.
I can't wait to get to my forever home! Is that with you? Apply to adopt me today! This cuteness won’t be available for long!
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
