Tallen is a handsome and intelligent boy with a big heart and an even bigger smile. This sweet boy has mastered the art of loyalty and is ready to share his life with someone who appreciates a playful, soulful companion. Tallen is affectionate, people-oriented, and loves nothing more than being close to his humans. He’s past the his puppy stage but still has a playful streak—toss him a toy or take him for a walk and he’ll light right up. He reads the room well, too: energetic when you want to play, calm when it’s time to relax. He is a quick learner and already knows a few basic commands (sit, lay down, and come). Although he’s excited when he first leaves his kennel, after a few minutes he settles down and walks well on a leash. He enjoys getting out to explore and playing fetch in the yard. Tallen would thrive in a home where he can be part of everyday life—whether that’s movie nights, weekend adventures, or quiet evenings on the couch. He’d love to be your steady companion and will happily return every bit of love you give him. Stop in for a meet and greet! Apply to adopt Tallen here: https://www.thehso.org/adoption-application/
