More about HOKU

Hoku’s story has taken an unexpected turn. He was once adopted from the shelter and recently found his way back to us as a stray. Sadly, his family didn’t come for him. We don’t know what circumstances they may be facing—but we do know this: Hoku is still full of love and ready to share it.At around 3 years old, Hoku is that just right age. He’s past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of joyful years ahead. What you see is what you get—no surprises, no “he’ll grow out of it.” He’s already the dog he’s meant to be, and it’s a really good one.Hoku is a sweet, fun-loving shepherd mix with a comfortable medium energy level. He enjoys hanging out in the yard with his dog friends and soaking up time outside, but he’s just as happy leaning in for affection and connection with his people. He’s friendly, engaging, and easy to enjoy—one of those dogs that simply feels good to be around.Hoku didn’t give up on people, even when people didn’t come back for him. He’s ready for a second chance with someone who’s ready to choose him for good.Hoku is a winner—and he’s waiting for his forever. ??He has participated in shelter playgroups with higher energy dogs and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home.  Looking for a friend for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter with you for a meet and greet.  Check him out in playgroups here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm.
