Biography
Hi! My name is Hoch (rhymes with rock), which is short for Hochstetter. I’m named after Colonel Klink’s rival, Major Wolfgang Hochstetter, in “Hogan’s Heroes!” I’m very handsome with a soft solid black coat (well, I’m starting to get a little gray on my muzzle, but this just makes me look distinguished, if I do say so myself!) I do my business outside, walk well on and off leash, and I don’t bark too much (except for when the doorbell rings or other dogs in the house get me started). At night, I sleep in my crate in the bedroom; and I have a lot of dreams, which make me twitch and bark softly in my sleep. I’m also an expert beggar, so don’t expect to have to eat alone ever! My foster mom says I am a very good boy, so you might wonder why I am up for adoption—my family of 10 years gave me up to DRNA, because they had to move overseas; and they were sad that they couldn’t take me with them. But they loved me so much that they want me to find a great home and they knew DRNA could help. So I would love a forever home without rambunctious dogs; and although I get along with all the dogs in my foster home, I’d like a calmer environment with fewer dogs (1 or 2 others would be fine) where I can get a lot of human attention. I might be a little wary of new people at first, but after a while I will try to get in their laps and to get them to pet me! I also get along fine with kids once I get to know them, but I have never been tested with cats. I would love for you to come and meet me in the Shenandoah Valley where I am being fostered. I am very healthy, playful, and loving, and I look forward to sharing lots of loving years with somebody special like you. Woof and I love you already.
