About Hoss

Meet Hoss, a lively 83-pound Terrier mix with a powerful build and an even bigger heart. This senior gentleman is looking to fill a home with love and joy. At first glance, his strong presence might be intimidating, but beneath the muscles, he's a big cuddle bug who craves affection. Hoss thrives on attention and enjoys every kind of body rub, especially those delightful butt scratches. He gets excited for praise, treats, and the chance to play. Initially calm in new environments, he reveals a playful side once he feels at home. Hoss loves all types of toys, particularly balls and stuffed animals. While he enjoys the thrill of tearing apart toys, he also treasures cuddle time just as much. His ideal family will appreciate his affectionate nature and have the strength to manage him on a leash; he can be a bit strong-willed during walks. Hoss also adores being brushed and would love nothing more than to be pampered. If you can provide a loving home for this giant lap dog, you’ll be rewarded with slobbery kisses and endless love. Hoss is excited to find his forever family. The adoption fee of $90+tax goes towards his care at the humane society. Additionally, Pennington County residents should expect an $8 licensing fee at the time of adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
