🚓🐾 Hayes the Ride-Along Rottie Is Looking for a Home! 🐾🚓

This loyal Rottweiler won hearts at the Fort Smith pound after joining an officer on patrol — now he’s waiting for a family to call his own.

Meet Hayes, a 4-year-old Rottweiler with a big heart and an even bigger love for people.

Hayes was picked up as a stray and has been waiting patiently at the Fort Smith pound for his second chance.

Now that his hold period is up, he’s officially ready for a foster or forever home!

Here’s what makes Hayes special:

✔️ Super friendly and affectionate
✔️ Great with kids
✔️ Housetrained and well-mannered
✖️ Best in a home without cats

🐶 Fun Fact: During his time at the pound, Hayes joined one of the officers for a little playtime — and ended up hopping into the patrol car for a full ride-along! He rode shotgun like a pro, never leaving the officer’s side. The officer called him “the best dog!” 💙
