About Forrest

Forrest is a young, medium-sized hound/terrier mix who thrives on play and attention. He’s got a real fondness for fetch and tug-of-war and will do just about anything for a treat. Because he eats quickly, Forrest uses a slow feeder. His energy is classic puppy—he loves walks in the woods and perks up when it’s time for outside adventures. Forrest is still learning not to pull on the leash and is comfortable being outside on a lead. He responds to basic commands, though he still needs a bit of help polishing his manners. He sleeps in his crate through the night and doesn’t bark much at all. Forrest is used to being around other dogs and children and gets along well with both. He’s microchipped and vaccinated. Forrest is currently in Kearneysville, West Virginia, but can be moved to the adoptive area for a meeting once your application is approved. Ready to start your journey together? Apply now.
