Hickory recently arrived to NCAL as a retired Laboratory dog. We are so happy he made his way to NCAL to find his home! Along with being absolutely adorable, Hickory is super happy to be around people and loves attention. He may be a little shy at first, but after a few minutes of meeting someone new, he will jump right up into your lap for some scratches. He seems to be good with the dogs that he has met at NCAL so far. He is your typical Beagle and loves to use his nose and sniff! He has been adjusting to normal life as a dog and learning to walk on a leash and playing with toys. He loves to chase tennis balls! Hickory will need a transition period with patience, training, and socialization after adoption as he most likely has never lived in a home before. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Hickory, please submit an adoption questionnaire below.

Children: We have not seen him interact with children since he has been at NCAL.

*When introducing a new pet to your household, an adult should be supervising any interactions with a child or another pet.
