Howie was transferred to H.A.L.O. from a vet clinic he was never picked up from over 500 days ago.
Weighing in just under 100lbs this Howie lives up to his name as a noble watchman and guardian.
Howie is a Misfit because as a loyal and strong protector of his inner circle, he is not keen on strangers approaching.
If Howie does not know a person or situation, he will become quickly uncomfortable and it has led to previous bites. Especially during vetting, restraint, or nail trims a sedative and muzzle are always his and your best tool.
In a home, with his family Howie is super loveable… he would allow for 24-hour belly rubs. He loves land and water, so as an only pet in a home with a doggie door that leads to space to roam, he would hit his lottery. Maybe part piglet, Howie does enjoy digging for exercise, so not a home that needs a perfectly manicured lawn.
Requirements: Martingale Collar; Leash Walk due to digging; Misfit
