Brief Description: Hades is a super sweet 6 year old Irish Wolfhound. He is completely house broke. He does not disturb anything in the house and is very laid back & friendly. He came to us from a Kentucky dog pound. He walks great on a leash & loves to walk around our fenced yard. A little shy when he firsts meets new people, but warms up quickly. He rides great in the car, excellent for the Vet, great getting a bath and just an all around great guy. 

Likes:   Hades LOVES his super comfy very large dog bed. :)

Dislikes:  The foster family currently has not found any.

Personality:    Very laid back 

Temperament:     Excellent for the Vet, bathing and all handling we have done with him

Energy Level:     Hades is a senior dog that enjoys lounging on his bed and short walks

Favorite activities:    Couch Potato :)

Good with:  Totally ignores the fosters cats, great with other dogs, ignores foster homes horses & chickens

Not good with:    Children not familiar with giant breed dogs. Hades has not been around children, but is very large. So children over the age of 6 that are very familiar with giant breeds dog is a must. 

House Trained:     YES! He has not had one accident

Crate Trained:     At his foster home he has been out with the run of the house. He does great & does not get into anything.

Challenges:   He is a great dog and has been easy to transition into his foster home. 

Any medical issues:    Hades is currently being treated for an ear infection. He does great getting his ear drops each day. He does need to gain some weight. His foster family is currently working on finding his food preferences. 

What would be the best kind of home:     Hades would do great in a quiet household as he is a senior dog. He enjoys spending time with his person. A  fenced in yard is a must so he can enjoy his outdoor time and get light exercise. Hades would benefit greatly with another kind, calm dog to share his home with. A family that understands the breed & the cost of taking excellent care of such a large breed dog. 

Fostered in Southington, OH.
