Herbert the Dog needs a home
Not only does Herbert have the personality, he's also got the looks. His foster mom loves his sweet face and soft, "smooshable body. As she says, "he looks like a stuffed animal made of velvet. While 4-year-old Herbert may seem like a wise, calm old man on the surface, he'll surprise you with his excitement for the world and bursts of energy. But when he doesn't have a case of the zoomies, Herbert is training to be a TOP dog. He's a very good student, and he's quickly learning all of the TOP dog commands. The Total Obedience Program (TOP) is modeled after the AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. As a TOP dog, Herbert has a personalized training plan and works with a volunteer trainer several times a week to help him learn the skills to become the best dog he can be! He is learning skills like sit and down, walking nicely on leash, sitting calmly when approached by strangers or other dogs, staying in a sit or down until told "free," and coming when called. Once Herbert successfully completes all the skills on his training plan he will be considered TOP Dog Ready! Herbert is working hard to become a wonderful pet and as a part of APA's Total Obedience Program you can work with APA staff to continue to build a training relationship with Herbert after adoption and master all the TOP dog skills together. Check out a video on APA's CGC program, on which the TOP was based: https://vimeo.com/89434193 As a Hurricane Harvey rescue, Herbert been through a lot. In return for giving him a loving home, he promises to give you more love and laughs than you can imagine.
