Meet Hoss Cartwright
Hoss Cartwright is a sweet senior boy whose life changed when his family was expecting a new baby and felt they could no longer give him the time he deserved. Despite the upheaval, Hoss remains a big bundle of sweetness wrapped up in one lovable package. He has completed all of his vetting and is ready for a foster home or, even better, a forever home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe, secure, and truly cherished. Update: Hoss continues to show just how special he is. He loves his meals and simply prefers a little personal space from other dogs while eating, but otherwise gets along well with his foster siblings. He enjoys wearing his cozy sweater, lounging in his big comfy bed, romping around the yard, and rolling happily in the grass like a carefree pup. If you would like to give this gentle boy the loving home he deserves, please complete an adoption application at www.ctdr.org.
