About Hayes

Hayes is a gentle soul looking for a calm home that will allow him to adjust at his own pace. He tends to explore his surroundings independently at the shelter but shows a sweeter side once he settles into a safe environment. Nervous around new people, he needs an understanding adopter who can take it slow with him. Recently, Hayes enjoyed a day trip that revealed his love for truck rides and long walks. He has plenty of energy but knows how to relax and appreciate a good tummy rub. Hayes prefers to eat his meals quietly and should ideally be in a home with teens and up who understand his needs. If you have other pets, introductions should be managed to ensure he feels comfortable. This medium-sized dog is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Considering a quieter, one-on-one friendship with dogs is best for him. He's also demonstrated that he can quickly learn commands like sit and shake, showcasing his potential as a training companion.
