Hello! My name is Hera and I am a 2-year-old, 67 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained, though I am well-behaved when left home alone uncrated.
I am a friendly girl with men, women, and young children. I love to be near my people and am often not far away either laying on a dog bed or sprawled on the floor. I love belly rubs and snuggles! I am fostering with a toddler and am gentle with him. I do well with visitors to my foster home as well.
I have done well with other medium to large dogs after slow, proper introductions. I prefer males over females and will engage in play with my foster brothers in the yard! I like having toys accessible to carry around. I don’t really play tug or fetch, I just like to trot around with a soft plushy toy in my mouth! I have done well with the dog-savvy cats at my foster home after slow introductions.
I do well for walks and walk well on leash! I have been learning how to jump in the car on my own, though you should be prepared to lift me in while I am still learning. Once I’m in, I ride well! I can be insecure when I am away from home and can struggle with training in new environments so I have been working a lot on engagement and confidence building. I know sit, down, and a good foundational recall. I do best with a confident handler who can offer me guidance in situations where I become unsure.
I HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS: I require a Hill’s Biome prescription diet to maintain solid stools which costs approximately $150-$180 per month.
I am an affectionate, lovely girl who would love to find my perfect adoptive family—could that be with you?

Echo Dogs fosters dogs in many states east of the Mississippi. Visit our Newcomers to see more of our dogs. Transportation for the adopted dog is available. Remember, we are an all-volunteer foster rescue organization - we DO NOT have a physical shelter to visit. Our minimum adoption donation is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Puppies under 6 months old may not be spayed/neutered. This would be the responsibility of the adopter at their own expense. Proof of spay/neuter will be required!
