A little story about Hermey.
A guy pulled into the shelter parking lot then came in. He said he found a dog on Hwy 17.
When we walked out into the parking lot to look at the dog, we found out that when the guy pulled into the parking lot and stopped, he had opened the door and let the dog out. We got a glimpse of Hermey as he headed south and then east behind the fence of the business next door.
They guy said he thought the dog would stay right there in the parking lot and we explained that the barking dogs and excitement emanating from the outdoor dogs scares a lot of the dogs coming in and if those dogs weren't contained, they would take off until acclimated.
That was the last we saw of Hermey until we got a call a week or more later, from someone living about a mile away. Kaitlyn went over to the house and it was getting late. She saw Hermey but before she could do anything, the people left their dog out who chased Hermey off.
Eventually we got him the next day and what a sweet boy! He loves playing his version of fetch which is dropping the ball behind out or trying to get you to chase him while he has the ball. Hermey is just a fun boy!
