About Hermes

Hermes keeps to himself at the shelter and prefers exploring over mingling, though he begins to seek attention once he feels comfortable. He loves a good round of booty scratches and will wander over to ask for affection when he feels like it. Hermes is sharp—quick to learn, eager for treats, and talented at catching them midair. He already knows basic cues like sit and shake. He does best in a calm, mature home that respects his pace and needs; noisy or busy environments with young children will overwhelm him. Hermes sometimes struggles with dog social cues and can seem awkward, but could mesh well with an easygoing canine companion—any dog introductions should be slow and mindful. His experience with cats is unknown. There’s a possibility he has some allergies; more details are available from the rescue. Hermes qualifies for the 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program if you want to see if he's a good fit. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
