Story
Location: Champlin, MN
This goofy boy is Gary! Gary is a little timid of new people and experiences at first, but as soon as he realizes you're safe, or the toy is fun, or the bone is actually yummy he is ALL IN. Once Gary realizes he's found his person, he will get very excited to see you, give some kisses while he gets his wiggles out, and then happily will sit on your lap!
Gary has medium energy, he enjoys being outside, running around and exploring his surroundings. He will happily play chase/tag with other dogs and even join in wrestling with the big ones! He doesn't seem to know he is only 15 pounds ;)
While he needs slow intro's with any new person, Gary does well with other dogs of all shapes, sizes and energy levels. I believe he would do well alone or in a home with another confident dog to show him his people are there to love and spoil him!
Gary is potty trained 95% - well, I'd say a 100% as he doesn't potty in the house but he does still mark at times, so he could use some training to help him stop marking new spaces.
Gary is kennel/room trained but he'd love to sleep with someone even more. If kennelled he will whine for a few minutes and then settle down. When he hears you awake in the morning he will let you know!
Gary can be submissive sometimes when it comes to food/treats so if he has a fur sibling you'll want to keep an eye out that he is getting what is his and not letting others steal his food. He is learning to enjoy treats and bones and especially likes the soft beef ones or the chicken jerky strip chews.
He has been around older kids and does well *as long as they are not forcing proximity if he is scared*, no experience to comment on about young kids or cats.

The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs over 9 months), FIV/FeLV test (cats - one in the litter), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration).
Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.
