Meet Hamilton, a four-year-old Rottie/Kelpie mix weighing 65 pounds.

Hamilton is a compact guy with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. He was found alongside two small dogs and has seemed to do well with other dogs, showing that he's got a friendly and easygoing personality.

When he first came to us, Hamilton was dealing with painful, bloody ears from untreated ear mites. Thankfully, he's now been treated and is feeling so much better - and it shows! He's much more comfortable and ready to focus on what really matters: finding his forever home.

Hamilton is very sweet and well-mannered. He listens well, enjoys guidance, and is a pleasure to spend time with. He absolutely loves going for walks and following his nose, taking in all the exciting scents the world has to offer. If you enjoy relaxed strolls with a curious companion by your side, he's your guy.

With his gentle nature, good manners, and resilient spirit, Hamilton is ready to leave his past behind and start a new chapter filled with comfort, care, and love. Could this sweet, sturdy little explorer be your next best friend?
