My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

✨ Meet Garrett! ✨

Garrett is an amazing dog with a huge heart and an equally big zest for life. He has been deeply loved, and his family is devastated to rehome him—they're moving out of the country.

This loyal, high-energy boy has been a constant companion, “nurse,” and best friend to his family. He’s happiest when he’s with his people, going for walks, or enjoying active time together. Garrett would thrive in a home that loves outdoor adventures, long walks, or even jogs.


❤️ Personality & Temperament

Loving, loyal, and deeply bonded to his humans
High energy — needs regular exercise and enrichment
• Loves being part of the family and staying close to his people
• Has great house manners — house trained and sleeps peacefully in his dog bed
Not crate trained, but has never needed one in his current home


Dog & Cat Compatibility

  • Dogs: Generally good with most dogs, but he can be selective.
  • Best to meet new dogs in a neutral location: Should not go to dog parks or uncontrolled dog-heavy environments.
  • Cats: Yes! He has successfully lived with a cat for years.

Leash Walking & Reactivity

Garrett walks well on a leash but can be leash reactive when he sees unfamiliar dogs.
He responds very well to “watch,” “leave it,” and treats when the person walking him is attentive. Someone experienced with confident, energetic dogs will do great with him.


Kids & Home Environment

• Wonderful with children — he has grown up with a child who is now 5
Apartment friendly as long as his exercise needs are met
• Good eater — not a resource guarder, but may sneak snacks if given the chance!


Ideal Home

Garrett would be happiest with:
• An active person or family
• Someone confident handling higher-energy, stronger dogs
• A household that enjoys long walks, hikes, or runs
• A home where he can be close to his people
• Potentially with another dog, if properly introduced, and not with a resource-guarding dog

He is trained in the basics (sit, wait, down, shake), affectionate, eager to please, and truly wants nothing more than to be someone’s best friend.

Garrett will make an active, loving household incredibly happy.

More about this rescue

Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue is a NO KILL animal rescue dedicated to providing shelter and loving care (which includes food, veterinary care and any other necessity) for animals that were abused, abandoned, owner surrendered, or destined to be euthanized due to over-crowded shelter conditions. Through the use of foster homes, Proverbs will care for these animals until such time as a good, responsible, loving home can be found for all adoptable animals.
