This is Hayes! He is from the same abuse case as Sassy, Brownie, Rusty, Abby, Howard, and Maverick.  We were able to bring him into a warm and loving home thanks to an amazing foster family!  He is about 4 years old and 35 lbs.  In just a short time he has opened up to being pet, bathed, brushed, and house trained.  He finds his crate to be safe, but has been enjoying free time in the backyard to wander.  He gets along with the 3 large hounds in his foster home.  They all respect each others space. He eats well in his crate and feels secure there.  Kids 10 and older are recommended at this time because he is still a little skittish.  A quiet and calm space would be best as he acclimates to a life inside filled with food and love.  Hayes will require an experienced, dog savvy adopter.  One that can read his cues and give him the time and patience he needs for trust and bonding. He is headed to the vet to get him up to date on all shots, assessed, and neutered.  We learned that Hayes is Heartworm and Ehrlichia positive, so we are treating both.  He is not showing any signs or symptoms of either.  An application is required to meet him.
