Description:
Sweet Herrick, (Shelter name Bear) is a gentle big boy who has lots of energy. He can be very sweet-but may try to jump on you and bark to check you out at first. Herrick hides his treats all over the play-yard as soon as you give him one. Then when he thinks you aren't looking awhile later-he will go back over to eat it! Funny guy! He is still very puppy like and likes to 'mouth' you as he plays. He would do best in a home with older children and someone willing to take him to training (even though he already knows basic commands) as he needs to be shown the owner is the pack leader. He is good with other dogs but probably better with larger dogs. Herrick has a lot of energy and is a large dog- so a home with a yard would be beneficial!
He was on death row because of a misunderstanding. Please consider making this big lug a forever friend!
Here is the Intake notes from the shelter that begged for his life to be spared and for LDDR to take him:
We honestly feel that this dog has gotten a raw deal. He was playing with a potential adopter in the outdoor kennel. As he retrieved a toy his tooth grazed her hand. She went to the doctor, who reported it as a dog bite. He is a TOTAL sweetheart, and he did NOT bite her. There is some belief from the wardens that it was actually even a scratch from a claw. He sits, stays, shakes, is good on a leash, and is a leaner. Every single volunteer absolutely loves him!!! The wardens will only let him go to rescue. Believe me, if they thought he was dangerous, he would never even get the chance to go to rescue. Please, please would you consider saving him?
Intake date 10/19/12 came in with 2011 tags, owner contacted but Bear was abandoned. - 2-3yo Rottweiler mix - 70# - extra large crate - Bear was kept from being adopted for two weeks due to having tags and the owner being known. He has never had an impression done on him. Jenny brought Bear out first thing and put him in the outside kennel that we were not using. He had a lot of energy and ran around like a puppy! Brenda gave him a squeaky toy and he amused himself with that for a while too. He was quite cordial to all of the other dogs going out or in past him in the other kennel, acting like he wanted to play with some of them. He looks and acts very healthy except for some licking/pressure sores on his feet. When it comes to obedience Bear has it down pat. Ken, a shelter volunteer, came out and helped us. He brought Bear into the other kennel so we could see how he did with the other dogs. When Ken asked him to do something, he did it, sit, stay, shake, stop pulling, stop jumping, he did have a little trouble with lay down though. He had zero issues with any of the other dogs. He exchanged kisses with Noodle and let Cookie, the GSP puppy, climb all over him. He is friendly and playful with people. He leans on you and will let you run hands all over. Brenda gave him a big hug! Bear is a nice dog that does not deserve the fate that awaits him if a rescue isn't found soon.
The petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.
