About Hammy

Hammy is a lively and affectionate dog ready to find his forever home. At a year and a half, he thrives on play and adventure, but sometimes gets himself into mischief—especially when playing keep away with shoes and socks. He has a playful spirit and enjoys wrestling with his dog friends, sometimes testing the boundaries with his feline housemate, though he never chases her. He’s currently learning to walk on a leash, but he can be a bit of a puller as he’s eager to explore the world. Patience will go a long way with him as he becomes accustomed to his gentle leader. He does well in a kennel during the day and loves to curl up on the couch with his toys at night. Hammy is house trained, with only one accident due to an upset tummy. He’s also picking up commands like sit, stay, and come while showing off his love for affection. Ideally, he’ll need a home with a fence or a long run line to support his playful nature, with owners who understand the energy of large breed dogs. He's looking forward to being a part of a family that will engage him in activities, give him plenty of cuddles, and enjoy bonding through play. Ready to meet this lovable goof? Apply now!
