My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Artie
Breed: Aussie/Pointer mix
Age: Adult
Gender: Male

Artie is a 40 pound male Aussie/Pointer mix, likely with about 20 other breeds. After being picked up as an unclaimed stray, Artie spent 4 months in the pound, and animal control workers got desperate-- he was way too sweet and gentle to put down, yet they don't have the space to hold them forever. When they reached out to rescue, and sent videos of him with dogs and cats and kids, we knew he could find a home here in MN. He is doing very well in foster care here, learning the house training quickly, quiet in the crate. Artie is submissive and gentle with kids and other dogs, shares his home with cats, and is learning how to share his foster mom's lap. He's a quieter dog who is always trying to be polite, so his joy is usually somewhat reserved, but we are seeing him break out of his shell more and more each day. He loves to cuddle and give kisses, and squeeze into the smallest of spaces to share with you. Things like walking on the leash and coming when called are works in progress, but we know he'll learn them. He was heartworm treated, and is otherwise also vetted, so ready to go to a new home.

Requirements: Home with yard space
