Hutch is an approximately two-year-old lab mix. He recently came to us with several other dogs from Tennessee. He is super handsome and full of happy energy. Hutch likes to chew and run around with his “brother” Starsky. An active family would be best for this boy. If you have another dog, we will schedule a meet and greet prior to adoption to see if they get along. If he sounds like your new best friend, apply today! Visit Hutch at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
