Behaviors- HHR Rod is really starting to share his personality. He loves cuddles and attention. He gets along great with elementary aged children. He sleeps through the night. His crate is his safe place and he spends a lot of time there.
Cats: haven't tried
Other dogs: would do best as an only dog, unless adopter has experience in this area.
Children: he is really great with kids of all ages, he is even gentle with the little ones!

Great things about HHR Rod:
He's so cuddly and sweet. We have fallen in love with him. He's gotten the zoomies only once since he's been here. I can't wait to see him come out of his shell more with his fur ever family.
