Story
Meet Bingo, a gorgeous 4-month-old Australian Cattle Dog and Lab mix with a heart as big as her paws. This sweet, affectionate girl has blossomed into a confident, happy puppy who is ready to find a family of her own.Bingo is truly one of the sweetest puppies you'll ever meet. She absolutely loves people, especially if she can curl up on her foster dad's lap for a long nap. When she gets excited, all it takes is a few gentle pets from someone she loves and she's calm again. Her foster family has loved watching her transform from a timid little puppy into a joyful wiggle butt who can't wait to greet her favorite people.Like any puppy, Bingo loves to play. She is a big fan of squeaky chew toys, wrestling with her foster puppy friends, and playing games of tug-of-war. One of her funniest habits is grabbing a toy, showing it off to the younger puppies, and then taking off running so they'll chase her. She thinks it's the best game ever.Bingo is doing well with her house training. She lets her foster family know when she needs to go outside, especially when it's time to poop, and she uses puppy pads if she can't make it outdoors in time. She is also making progress with crate training. While she isn't fully crate trained yet, she enjoys napping in an open crate and settles down quickly when crated, as long as she can't see her people.She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine playmates. Around unfamiliar dogs and people she may be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly. Bingo has done wonderfully with her foster family's young grandchildren. Because she is a tall, enthusiastic puppy, she may occasionally jump up to say hello, but she responds well to "off" and quickly learns good manners.As a Cattle Dog mix, Bingo will thrive with an active family that can give her plenty of exercise, playtime, and enrichment. A fenced yard would be ideal to help her burn off puppy energy, although she isn't an escape artist. She has also made great progress on leash walking and now enjoys walks after initially being unsure about the leash.Bingo can be vocal when she wants to join the fun, so a home without shared walls would be the best fit. She does not have separation anxiety, but she does have an impressive puppy bark when she wants your attention.Bingo came into rescue with her sister after having a rough start in life, but she has left those difficult days behind. Today she is healthy, happy, and full of love. Her foster family says if they were in a position to keep a young, active puppy, Bingo would never be leaving.If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy, an expert cuddler, and a playful best friend all wrapped into one beautiful puppy, Bingo is ready to meet you!If you are interested in Bingo, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
