PERSONALITY & BEHAVIORS
Mr. Herman is an absolute gem in the world of canine companionship! With a heart full of love and a disposition as gentle as a breeze, Herman embodies everything you could wish for in a furry friend. As he is very attached to his humans, Herman is looking for a forever family without children and with someone who is around a lot.

And he needs a detached home with a medium-to-large fenced yard so he can run around to his heart's content (with or without another friendly dog). As Mr Herman was a stray, on the chance that he might get out, we are looking for a neighborhood that is interior and far from a main road.

Herman's amicable nature extends beyond his own species. He's not just GOOD with cats--he's practically a feline whisperer! Previously he was living with kittens who tried to eat his food while he was eating, and he didn't mind a bit! If you have other four-legged friends at home, rest assured that Herman will charm them with his friendly demeanor and thus create a harmonious environment for everyone.

A cuddle connoisseur, he is always ready to share warmth and comfort with his human companions. Whether you're watching TV, reading a book, or simply relaxing, Herman's presence makes every moment a delight.

Herman's love for outdoor adventures knows no bounds, and his energy and enthusiasm are testament to his zest for life. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an exhilarating game of fetch, Herman is always up for some outdoor fun. He relishes going for walks and is pretty good on a leash--and is interested in and generally poised when encountering other dogs.

The perfect day for Herman would start with a morning cuddle session (sporting his favorite sweater in the cooler weather), followed by breakfast. After some belly rubs, then it's on to a fun-filled day of exercise and playing, ending with a relaxing evening snuggled up in your arms together.

Herman's ideal home would be a cozy and inviting space with plenty of soft blankets and cushions for lounging, his donut bed (check out his video!), a pantry well-stocked with his favorite treats, and a family showering him with love and attention.

In conclusion, Herman is a remarkable companion who brings joy, warmth, and unconditional love wherever he goes. Embrace him with open arms, and you'll discover a loyal friend for life.
