My Story

Howard's journey led him to us through the heartbreaking decision of a family who could no longer endure his changing behavior around their new baby. Like many dogs in this situation, Howard perhaps perceived himself as the "baby" of the family and reacted as a jealous older sibling when a human child arrived. Despite their year-long wait and hope for Howard's adjustment, he regrettably became more challenging to live with. He began marking the baby's belongings, defending furniture, and intensifying his territorial behavior. The choice to rehome him through DRU was a heavy one for his former family, who initially welcomed him as a lifelong member. In the early days here, Howard appeared confused and slow to trust. However, as he's settled in, we've witnessed his affectionate side slowly emerging. Once he warms up to a new human friend, Howard becomes highly enthusiastic and responsive. A simple offering of a hot dog elicits swift obedience and eye contact that grows softer and more trusting with each passing day. While he may still assess your credentials upon your first meeting, he's becoming a bit more welcoming to new members of "Club Howard." In the kennel, Howard is often found snuggled up in his favorite comforter, yet he'll eagerly spring into action for quality time with his beloved humans. Howard remains a work in progress. What we've discovered is that he would thrive in a quiet "homebody" lifestyle with a fenced yard. We regretfully cannot recommend him for a household with kids, cats, or other dogs at this time.
