My story

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

Meet York! York is a good boy who is WAY too smart for his own good!

Our sweet York is nervous in new situations and recently completed some training classes. He needs an experienced owner to work with him as he continues making progress with strangers! York has a great capacity to learn and has made tons of progress in the last few weeks.

He loves to run around the back yard and play with toys. He gets along well with other dogs. He is very treat motivated and eager to learn. He is well potty-trained and has used a doggy door in the past.

With people York knows, he is very social and like your typical puppy/young adult. He loves treats, toys and tricks!

We envision York in a home that LOVES training- this boy loves to learn and has had so much fun at class. He can jump/climb a 6ft chain link fence (not privacy fence), so we think Agility, Tricks, or Scent work are all possible for him.

York loves to play with toys but does need to be monitored with them because he likes to tear of little pieces off and tries to eat them. He knows "drop it" and "leave it"

York is very interested in people food and we have been working on proper manners. He does jump up and counter surf. He has been trained to sit in his “spot” in the kitchen which has helped to deter this behavior. We are also working on wait and a release word for his meals. He is catching on quickly that jumping and being on the counter is not allowed.

He sleeps on his bed on the floor but will happily sleep in your bed if you let him.

York is an active treat motivated young adult who is looking for someone to explore and learn new tricks with.

*We only adopt and foster our animals within a 100 mile radius from New Brighton, MN*
All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment. You can contact us through our website at http://legendsrescue.org/index.php/contact/ or visit our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LegendsRescue/ if you have further questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application at http://legendsrescue.org/index.php/adopt/forms/ FOSTER CARE: Our rescues are fostered in individual homes or at our facility. We work hard to ensure that our rescues have a supportive family while at foster homes to help them move forward and get ready for their forever home. We work on training, crate-training and socialization before a dog is adopted out. Foster homes are extremely important to the success of the cat at their forever home, and it is extremely rewarding to be able to watch the cats growth as you help them on their journey to their happy ending. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please fill out our application at http://legendsrescue.org/index.php/adopt/foster-application/ YOU CAN HELP: If you’re not able to foster or adopt right now, please consider sponsoring a Legend. Your donation will help with our care and pay for medical costs. Visit this link http://legendsrescue.org/index.php/donate/ to donate.
