Meet Hudson!
Hudson is a 4-month-old, 25-pound mixed-breed pup who may have some Plott Hound in the mix. He joined BDC after a local animal control officer was asked to help rehome him when he was bought from a breeder to a couple who was living somewhere that didn't allow dogs. Like a lot of people who take home a puppy, they also quickly learned that puppyhood is... a LOT. So Hudson found his way to BDC, and we're determined to find him a family who is ready for all the fun, chaos, and hard work that comes with raising a puppy.
Hudson is a very sweet, very typical puppy who is still figuring out how to be a dog in this big world. He's working hard on his house training, crate training, leash skills, and basic manners, but he's also still chewing things he shouldn't, getting a little too excited, and occasionally failing to realize that what he really needs is a nap. In other words: he's a puppy!
He is still very early in his training journey, so his new family will need to be committed to continuing his positive-reinforcement training, including puppy classes, to help him grow into the well-adjusted family dog we know he can become.
Hudson could live with teens and another playful, dog-savvy pup who is up for some puppy antics. He'll need a family who has the time, patience, and energy to keep up with a growing puppy and help him learn all those important life skills.
No cats, please, and no apartments.
His foster says: "Hudson is a playful, smart, and treat-motivated puppy who loves people and other dogs. He knows "sit" and "down," is house-trained, responds to his name, and stays close to us and my dogs during walks.
Hudson enjoys playing with my large dogs, balls, sticks, bones, and stuffed animals, but he also knows how to settle in for a good nap. When he sleeps, he loves being cuddled up next to one of his foster dog friends-or right beside his person. Like any puppy, he is still learning that toys are for chewing, so he will need continued guidance and supervision.
He is comfortable on car rides and approaches new experiences with confidence. He greets dogs his size and larger very well and enjoys canine companionship. On leash, Hudson is learning not to pull and may weave a little as he explores. He does have a special interest in chasing the broom, so sweeping is more fun-and more challenging-with him around!
Hudson is an affectionate, confident puppy who would thrive with a family ready to continue his training, provide plenty of playtime, and include him in daily life."
