History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own!
A Note from the Foster: This is Warrin. He is a 2 year old Shepard/Husky/and probably a bunch of other great dog breeds all mixed into one handsome guy. He came from North Dakota as one of the Out Of The Cold dogs, and it is a good thing he did because he is not real fan of the cold weather. He would much rather be inside a nice warm house next to his person, or people. When he first came into rescue he was very scared and leery of people. He was also hiding a sore leg or shoulder injury which made him a little defensive. But now that is all healed up he is showing his sweet personality.
Warrin is a big guy about 62 pounds now, when he first came he was very thin but he is doing a great job of putting on weight. And that is because he loves his food and treats. He is very food motivated which will make him very easy to train. He already knows sit and down and is working on stay and shake. He is also working on his heal. He does walk nicely on a leash without pulling when using a easy walker harness but he would rather walk in frount so he can get in all of the good smells, instead of walking along side of me. He absolutely loves going for walks and would probably go forever.
Warrin is working on his crate training. He will go into his crate and sleeps in it quietly all night but he is not a big fan of being in his crate when I leave the house. He can get a little anxious at times, he was pretty anxious when he first came, so he is on medication to help with that. But now that he feels comfortable here and knows he is safe he is leaning that he can just lay and chew on his bone and nothing bad will happen to him.
Along with chewing on his bone another passtime Warrin loves is playing fetch. A tennis ball, a rubber ball, a snow ball he does not care. He loves to go after them and will nicely bring it back and drop it at your feet so you can throw it again. However he has found the snowball are a little harder to do that with and will sometimes come back with nothing but a sad look on his face because he can not find it.
Warrin has been good with the different dogs that he has met. He currently lives with a resident 1 year old puppy who plays very rough. But Warrin is very gentle with her although he is pretty vocal when he plays so I do have to brake them up sometimes. He also lives with a grumpy 15 year old Dochshund who he is very respectful to. When Warrin meets another dog on a walk he just ignores them.
Warrin is house trained, he learned very quickly how to ask to go outside. He would do best in a house with older kids or no kids since he is big and still young and does not always understand his own strength. He would be fine in a house with another dog but he would also be very happy being the only dog and not having to share his people.
If you would like to help Warrin on his journey to a new and better life, he would love to meet you.
