Hemi has been waiting far too long for his forever family. He's a striking boxer and shepherd mix with a gentle, loyal side. At about 9 years old, Hemi is house trained, crate trained, knows all his basics, and walks well on a leash. He thrives with a steady routine and understands what it means to be part of a family—he's no stranger to a comfortable home life. Hemi gets along with other dogs, though he prefers calmer companions, and does well with children ages 10 and up. He used to live with a cat many years ago, but he'd need a fresh introduction to any current felines. Like many shepherds, he has a protective streak and forms strong bonds with his people. He will stick by your side as a loyal friend. Because of his breed mix and personality, Hemi is best suited for adopters experienced with shepherds. If you're in Connecticut and ready for a devoted companion, Hemi is waiting for you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
