Fixes

Hancock County SPCA Pet of the Week: Haven, aka Hay-Hay

TRENTON – For experienced dog owners in our audience, Haven would be a rewarding rescue.

Haven is a Caucasian and Pyrenean Shepherd mix who is about 3 and a half years old. She’s a BIG girl with a lot of power, so it’s important that her future family fully understands her personality and needs before bringing her home.

His fluffy brindle coat and big brown eyes are very eye-catching. Although she is cheerful and protective of her people, it takes time to be accepted into Haven’s inner circle. We recommend several meetings. Those who really want to adopt him are invited to fill out a file so that we can talk about his specific needs and everyone’s expectations.

Hay-Hay, as he is affectionately known, must be in a household with adults or children over 15 years of age. We do not know how she behaves with cats. With slow introductions, she may be able to get along with other dogs.

If someone takes the time to know her needs, she would like to protect both possessions and hearts.

Make an appointment to meet Hay-Hay today!
