About Hickory

Hickory is a charming, scruffy little guy with a lot of untapped potential. He’s still getting familiar with his surroundings, showing a bit of timidity in new situations and with unfamiliar people. However, once he feels comfortable, Hickory reveals a warm, affectionate side that will surely endear him to his future owner. To earn his trust, a little patience goes a long way. During our time together, we simply sat on the ground, letting him approach at his own pace. It wasn’t long before he was resting his head on our leg, a sign of his growing comfort and trust. Hickory is both crate-trained and house-trained; he knows to let you know when it's time to go outside and enjoys spending time quietly in his crate. As he settles in, Hickory enjoys keeping his human close. He loves to run around with some zoomies, showcasing his playful side. With more socialization, we believe his personality will blossom even further. Hickory will thrive in a supportive environment where he’s gradually introduced to new experiences, sounds, and people. His ideal forever home would be an adult-only space, ideally with someone who has experience working with timid dogs. This person should prioritize his confidence-building through positive experiences, neighborhood walks, and dog-friendly outings. Could you be the compassionate individual Hickory needs in his life? He’s waiting for someone to believe in him and show him how joyful life can be. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
