About Sir Hector

Sir Hector is half proper gentleman, half goofball, and fully curious about the world. He’s always investigating every squeak and shadow, ready to discover what happens when a dog’s curiosity runs wild. If you’re close by, that’s all Sir Hector wants – he’ll melt for booty scratches and can’t wait to wedge himself next to you on the couch. Sometimes, in his excitement, he might roll right off, but he’s a sturdy, good-natured guy and shrugs it off with another joyful leap. Expect entertainment: whether he’s chasing his shadow, batting around his food bowls, launching into belly-up acrobatics for rubs, exploring every cranny for hidden treasures, or making epic splashes in the pond, you will laugh—probably daily. His striking eyes are unique: Sir Hector had entropion, which required surgery, but that’s now fully corrected and shouldn’t cause any trouble moving forward. Despite a tough past where he was let down by people, Sir Hector’s found his stride as a loving, silly companion. He stays a bit reserved with strangers and would do best as the only pet in a patient home with a fenced yard, but he’s gentle and gets along with children. Look past the initial shyness and you’ll find an absolute gem who just wants to belong. Born April 6, 2020, Sir Hector is an Aries—the sign known for bold curiosity and a big heart, which fits him to a tee. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
