Story
Location: Brooklyn Center, MN
Cardinal is a sweet, soulful boy with a heart that’s especially soft for kids. He came from a tough situation and since coming into foster, he’s been blossoming beautifully in a loving home.
When Cardinal first arrived, he was understandably nervous — even needed to be carried inside. But the moment he saw a 4½-year-old child, everything changed. His tail started wagging, he trotted right over, and he happily showered her with kisses. From that moment on, it was clear: kids are his favorite people. He adores children and loves being near them, often content just watching them play.
Cardinal does well with other dogs when introduced slowly and thoughtfully, and he’s been completely uninterested in cats. He’s more comfortable with women right now but does warm up to men once he feels safe.
He’s potty trained, medium-to-low energy, and currently not a fan of the kennel. Because of his past, he doesn’t quite know how to play yet, but he’s gentle, observant, and eager to be close to his people. With patience, love, and continued positive experiences, Cardinal will only continue to gain confidence.
If you’re looking for a loyal, tender-hearted companion who will adore your kids and quietly soak up family life, Cardinal might just be your perfect match. ❤️

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), FIV/FeLV test (cats), 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.
