Ready to be Collared: Hughey
NAME: Hughey.
OWNER: Scott Eggleston, Bonnie Hurwitz.
HOW THEY MET: I’m fostering him for Adopt a Homeless Animal Rescue.
AGE: 3-ish.
HOME: Baltimore.
BREED: American Pitbull Terrier/Boxer.
BEST TRICK: Likes to kiss children.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Wrestling with my Amstaff Faith.
FAVORITE FOOD: Anything even resembling food.
FUNNIEST MOMENT: He climbed up in a friends lap, rested his head on her chest and sighed.
EAGER TO PLEASE: His kennel life has made him a little fearful of overactive dogs and he cowers if I make sudden moves or raise my arms too quickly. These could be signs of abuse in his past. If you are gentle but consistent with training he responds quickly and well. He wants to be close to you all the time and just wants to please.
He is about 63 pounds and neutered. He has a very sweet disposition with people and just wants to please. He has spent the last two years in various kennels around Maryland. He’s cautious around new dogs but will warm up quickly. He gets along beautifully with my Amstaff Faith. He will make a wonderful affectionate addition to any family.
IF HUGHEY HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Gotta love me.

I guess Hughey thinks he's a lap dog - sweet thing. Scott and Bonnie must be very special people to foster him . . . I hope someone will adopt him for a forever home soon.
