*Due to rescuer being very ill, all her dogs are in desperate need!!!
Herman is actually a Cimarron Uruguayo, which is a relation to the Spanish Mastiff.
Are you looking for a one-of-a-kind companion? He is an energetic, silly, poised and rambunctious guy. He has an old and wise soul but the spirit and speed of a young buck! Herman can go from zero to sixty in a heartbeat. One minute he is bathing in the sun and rolling in the grass and the next he is a loaded spring zooming past us!
Finding himself displaced from a shelter in North Carolina in 2018 due to hurricane Florence was quite the culture shock for the little guy, but he has always found creative ways to cope! Living the stylish shelter life with tons of kisses, hugs and walks from volunteers and staff definitely made him feel welcome, but we can definitely tell he is ready to curl up at the foot of your bed after some good head scratches and yummy treats!
Herman would shine in a home where he is the only pet as he is a rough-n-tough player and would be happiest in a home with adults or older teens. Because of Herman's tough, terrier playing style, homes with small kids wouldn't be the ideal fit. Hermie's best days are spent with a strong willed leader that can be stern and correct him.
He has mature sensitive skin as a five year old so belly rubs are a must! As an expert explorer, Hermie needs a fenced in yard that he can patrol and hunt ladybugs in or at least frequent walks and trips to fenced in areas where he can get his zoomies in!
