About Hodge

Meet Hodge, a 7.5-year-old Pyrador who embodies loyalty and affection. Hodge forms deep bonds with those he trusts and thrives in calm, predictable environments. He enjoys simple pleasures like walks, runs, car rides, and all the belly rubs he can get. While he loves rivers and calm lakes, he's more at ease spending time indoors with just a few close companions. This intelligent dog has a remarkable vocabulary, understanding numerous commands and even the names of family members and his favorites. Hodge's ideal home is a quiet space with one or two adults who appreciate routine and are attuned to his needs. He does not fare well in busy households or with frequent visitors, as unpredictability causes him anxiety and reactivity. He is particularly sensitive to unfamiliar people and certain stimuli like loud noises. Hodge is crate trained and fully house trained, having not had an accident since being a puppy. His new owner should have experience with reactive dogs and be committed to respecting his boundaries. Hodge is devoted to those he trusts and will thrive in a loving, structured home. We want his next journey to be filled with the comfort and safety he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
