Huey is a large, 93 lbs male dog who has been neutered. He's 8 years and 11 months old and is currently in Des Moines, IA. He is up to date on vaccinations. Huey prefers a calm home setting given his shy nature and would do best in a mature environment without young children.

About Huey

Huey is a friendly and affectionate dog who enjoys the company of people. He particularly loves chest pets and knows how to sit, especially if there's a treat involved. Huey enjoys going for walks, using a harness for comfort while exploring. This sweet boy is on the shy side and may take some time to adjust to new people and situations. He would thrive in a calm, quiet home where he can feel safe and secure. While he might enjoy the company of another dog, introductions will need to be managed carefully as he tends to be socially awkward with other dogs. A home without young, noisy, or busy children is recommended for Huey; a mature environment would suit him best. Additionally, he may have allergies, so inquire at ARL for more information. The ARL's approach is to highlight each dog's personality rather than simply their breed, emphasizing individual traits over labels. Ready to make Huey a comforting part of your life?
