Blastoise (in Foster)
Dogs – Open to making friends, so let's set up a meet and greet!
Cats – No kitties for this fella, please
Kids – Teens are a great fit (16 and up)
Blastoise is a big, wiggly love who decided his favorite spot in the world is right beside you. His foster calls him "my happy boy," and one look at that face tells you why. He's a champion cuddler who will gladly take every bit of petting you're willing to give.
He's a big fan of toys, and the second a ball starts rolling he's off like a shot. He also loves chewing on a blanket bunched up into a pile, which might be the cheapest happy place a dog has ever had.
This smart boy will do just about anything for a treat and lights up the second there's something new to learn. He has a great start on coming when called that he'd love to keep building with you. He's house-trained and crate-trained, and car rides turn him into an absolute champ.
Blastoise once met a small pup and barely gave him a second glance. If you have a dog at home, bring them along to HSHC to meet him, and our team will help with the introduction to make sure it's a great fit.
Blastoise has the blanket picked out and the ball ready to go. All he's missing is you, so reach out to HSHC and let's get you two together!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
