NorCal GSP Rescue

Howie is so much fun.  I just took him for a walk in the woods and while my two shorthairs are running wild, Howie is right there within 20 feet at all times making sure I’m ok and trotting along like he was trained to do it.

He does everything right.  Sleeps all night by our bed.  Stays all day happily on a runner.  Is well mannered, and is a happy, puppy-like big boy. 

He can’t wait, I’m sure, to find a permanent home.  We love him so much, but we also know there’s another family out there who will love him as much if not more.  He’d be a great dog to take to work, if you have a construction job, or an outdoor kind of job.  He wants to be near and hang out.

Come visit Howie in Camino and enjoy Apple Hill while you’re here!   

I’m attentive and well-mannered.

I pay attention.

I’m good off-leash.

Howie loves hugs.  When we first picked him up, we knew he growled when he was hugged, so we decided to ease him into the world of hugging.  He’s so lovable, we couldn’t believe he wouldn’t like hugs.  We’ve been hugging him non-stop for the two months we’ve fostered him, and he loves it.  I still think small children wouldn’t be a good idea; and easing Howie into hugs with a new family will work just like it did with our family.  And, we hug a lot!

Velvety ears, beautiful eyes.

I’m listening.

Mmmmmm.

Lovin’ the toy!

Introducing Howie.  Oh, wait a minute, he’s too busy checking out possible critters in the hole!
