Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Under all of the puppy energy and curiosity lies a world class snuggler! Gage loves everybody; men, women, kids and dogs. He's very engaged with people, pausing frequently while playing, to check in with his human and canine friends. No one is left out! He's very intelligent and observant, picking up on the commands of sit and stay within a few tries! He's also a well mannered pup who doesn't jump up on people or nip fingers. He sleeps well through the night on his dog bed, with his sibling. Gage would love a moderate to active home where he could join his family for weekend hikes or morning runs. He rides well in a car and is picking up on the basics of walking on leash very quickly. He's making good progress with potty training as well. Gage is approximately 5 mos old and weighs 16 lbs. Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed and size when grown.
All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.
Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.
We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on Saturday October 17, 2015, at Fetch Delivers Warehouse, 783 Harding St. NE. Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55413, from noon - 2 pm. Occasionally dogs cannot make it to the Meet & Greet, therefore feel free to verify if your dog of interest is able to attend. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
