Meet Huey! He is a happy go lucky guy with such a sweet & gentle soul. He does so well on leash; it is a true pleasure to walk him. He enjoys taking in the different sights and smells. After his walks, he likes to stretch out and take naps. He also enjoys his stuffed toys, and he is an expert at extracting the squeakers out. He recently went on a field trip to the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum and the volunteer that brought him said he was such a perfect gentleman the entire trip. She said that he rode well in the car and was quiet and calm. He enjoyed poking his nose out the window. She mentioned that he greeted people appropriately that he met on the trail and when it was time to leave, he hopped right in the car.

Huey has been patiently waiting for someone to choose him. He is looking for someone to love him & in return, they will gain a loyal companion. Come meet Huey today and find out why he is a staff and volunteer favorite and potentially the perfect.
