Introducing the incredible Herald, affectionately known as Harry or Hare-Bear! 🐻✨ At 5 years old and a sturdy 70 lbs, this magnificent boy is more than just a dog; he embodies hope, resilience, and the purest form of love. Once a victim of neglect, Herald traveled from Mississippi to Illinois after being rescued from severe malnutrition and chemical burns. But here’s the miraculous part: he overcame those odds! Now, he's learning what it means to be safe, cherished, and adored. Isn’t that just the most beautiful journey? 🎉💖 Now, let’s talk about this lovable lad’s quirks! Herald is still mastering house training, so a consistent routine and a patient adopter are a must. But don’t worry—he’s making strides every day! 🚀 He’s a champ at sleeping gently through the night in his crate, proving he’s got the chill vibes to hunker down after a day of adventure. Speaking of adventure, this boy has energy to spare! He adores multiple walks, playful yard escapades, and pack outings with his foster sibling. Expect a burst of joy when he runs, prancing around like a majestic little horse! 🐴🌟 On his good days, he might casually stroll while you jog—talk about pacing your runner friend! But after he's had his fun, he's also perfectly content to curl up and snooze on the couch. Sweet dreams, right? 😴 In the canine community, Herald is universally adored—he’s phenomenally gentle and tolerant with other dogs and absolutely shines around kids! Consider him the gentle giant who just hasn’t quite realized how large he really is!👶🐕 However, as for cats? Well, let’s just say they aren’t his vibe. 🐱❌ On a leash, Herald is a true gentleman! His walks are a joy, and he loves car rides—he’s that perfect co-pilot you always hoped for. Indoor life with Herald is filled with cozy cuddles, delightful window-watching, and astronomical numbers of snuggles, especially when he graces you with one of his signature head-on-shoulder hugs. 🌈💞 While Herald is still fine-tuning some skills (goodbye counter surfing and hello improved potty habits!), and he may find stairs a tad intimidating indoors, don’t be discouraged! A little patience goes a long way, and he’s ready to conquer these challenges with the right people by his side. He’s truly one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever encounter—loyal, affectionate, playful, and full of snuggles. 🥰 He’s looking for experienced dog owners who understand the importance of structure and patience, as well as how to keep up with his zest for life. In return, exuberant love is the heartbeat he offers! Herald is something special, and the companionship he promises is simply unparalleled.
