Name: Hughie Age: 5.5 Breed: Bernese/Aussie Mix Gender: Male Weight: 55 Good with kids: 12+ Doesn't like little ones running around. Good with dogs: Medium/Large Yes Good with cats: No - will attempt to harm Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Bio: Hughie came to OPARI three years ago from Texas after being found as a stray. During his vet workup, it was discovered he had multiple embedded pellets consistent with being used as target practice prior to rescue. As a result of those old injuries, Hughie has a slight head tilt, occasional unsteadiness, and hearing loss on one side. Because of his hearing loss, sudden movement from behind can startle him, so he is not suited for homes with small children. He does best with calm, respectful, and playful dog companions. Hughie was originally adopted from OPARI but was later rehomed without our knowledge. When challenges came up in the home, he was moved along again without anyone reaching out for support. Most recently, he was left at a daycare facility by that placement. He is now safely back with OPARI. Despite everything, Hughie remains a resilient dog who did exceptionally well in daycare—so much so that staff were emotional when he left. He is currently fostered with other dogs and does well in a group setting. Hughie can get annoyed with dominant personalities from other dogs, and gets a bit grumpy about sharing cuddles in his home. Absolutely no cats, small/jumpy dogs, or young children. Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823. Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved. An approved application does not mean you must adopt the dog of interest, if it isn't a good fit.
