🌟 Meet Hawkeye, a striking tricolor Sheltie with a heart full of hope and a story that will touch your soul. At about 2.5 years young and weighing in at a charming 40 pounds, this handsome fellow is not just any dog—he's a survivor! After losing his owner, Hawkeye found himself in a situation that no dog should endure. But don’t worry! He’s now safe with a loving rescue that believes every dog deserves a second chance at happiness. ❤️ Hawkeye is a shy little gentleman, meticulously neutered and up-to-date on all his veterinary care. He comes with a background that calls for a special kind of love—he’s seeking an experienced home, particularly someone who understands the nuances of rehabilitating dogs that have come from past difficulties, such as breeding or hoarding environments. 🌼 This sweet boy has been crate trained and seems to be housetrained as well, which is a great start! However, he’ll need a little time to blossom. After completing his heartworm treatment, scheduled for mid-January, he’ll require 8 weeks of crate rest. But with love and commitment, this can absolutely be accomplished by his adoptive family! 🏡 Hawkeye tends to get along with other dogs, showing that he has a friendly side, but he is yet to meet any felines. Therefore, it’s best that he doesn’t share his home with cats. And just a heads-up: families with children under 10 might not be the best fit for him. What's more, having a securely fenced yard is a must for Hawkeye to roam and explore in a safe environment where he can truly thrive. 🐕✨ If you find your heart tugging at the thought of welcoming Hawkeye into your home, the first step is simple—apply through the Buddy App! Don’t wait! This sweet soul is waiting for someone like you to show him just how beautiful life can be! 🥰💖
