About Hootch

Hootch needs a peaceful home where life doesn’t get too loud or hectic. He really comes into his own when there’s a steady presence nearby and a gentle touch. His fun, playful side emerges when he feels safe, and having a big yard is important for him—he’s got the classic big-dog urge to zoom. For Hootch, having a confident canine sibling is essential, not optional. He relies on having a steady dog companion to calm his nerves and set a positive example, which helps him feel at ease even when his people have to step out. He needs a committed adopter who’s patient and willing to let Hootch ease into new routines on his own timeline. He tends to bond faster with women, but a gentle and patient man can earn his loyalty over time. Once Hootch trusts you, he’s a fiercely loyal friend for life. He prefers not to be left alone, doing best with someone who works from home or is generally around the house. He’s laidback, loves going for car rides, and takes his role as office companion seriously—he’ll happily supervise your work and leisure breaks. Hootch is not a big eater and likes to have the option to graze, and would benefit from putting on a few more pounds. He gets along well with both dogs and children. Ready to fall in love?
