Meet 180297 Hamilton

HAMILTON - 1-5 years old, 74 pounds, friendly   Hamilton is one of those short but large boys whose size you don't get until you see him out of the kennel.   His legs are not too tall but his body is thick, muscular and strong. You'd think it difficult to lose such a big boy but, alas, he was lost and never reclaimed.   Hamilton is friendly and has been begging for attention from behind the bars right from the start.    He has bright white fur all over with the exception of his face where he has small decorative brown spots.   His ears have been cropped almost to the nub which makes this awesome boy look intimidating when he's actually showing us he might just be a gentle giant.   He's friendly, seems easy going, and loves treats.   He was easy to handle, too.   He wasn't as cooperative with the camera, though, as his curiosity of where he was and what was going on got the best of him. He would always come to me for a treat but kept his nose to the grass the whole time. Because of this, the pictures do not do him justice. You'll have to come in to meet him yourself.   Hamilton has a microchip so we were able to find his name but that's about all we know for now including how he feels about other dogs.   Hamilton is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him and don't see him, please just ask.
