My name is
Midnight Lagoon!

Midnight Lagoon found himself unwanted in a  high kill shelter in West Texas. He is good with other dogs and kids, cats are unknown.  All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. 

Do you have what it takes to love me?

My name is Midnight Lagoon and I've had a long road in my short life. I came from Texas early February 2023 in pretty bad shape. It's taken a lot of time
and work, but I slowly learned that all people are not bad.

I'm human and dog selective, but most humans can win me over with tasty treats pretty quickly. I have a lot of stranger danger and I require slow introductions and don't like eye contact at first. But it won't be long until I let you gaze into my beautiful dark eyes. I would do better with no or older kids as I don't know my own strength, especially when I get excited.

I'm curious and stubborn, sweet and sassy. I love to sleep under covers or in the sunshine. I have hardly any prey-drive, but I will chase a deer if it sneaks up on me.

I'm doing great working on my leash reactivity. My foster mom says that I do better every day. I do pull some in the beginning of my walks but after I do my business, I tend to take it easy and just enjoy the walk. I really like to take my time and sniff all the sniffs.

I am house and kennel trained and I will let you know when I have to go to the bathroom.

I'm very good at playing by myself when my foster sister and brother won't play with me, but I also love to play with my foster sister. I can get kind of rough but so can she. I am a vocal player, so any dogs I play with have to be ok with my vocalizations.

I have had good luck with both male and female friends, but some males don't like me that much.

I would LOVE someone who runs or hikes as I love to explore new places. I just need to continue working on my reactivity.

I'm a very good boy with a very big heart and I deserve a happy home and someone to love me unconditionally.

Some fun additional information about Middy

Midnight just loves trailers. He loves to jump in and inspect the inside and outside of trailers any time he sees one. He is very inquisitive! 

Midnight would love a human who is a runner or someone who likes to take long walks or hikes. He enjoys burning off energy as much as a good belly rub.

Midnight is nuts for a flirt pole. He likes chasing the fox but enjoys catching it even more. He is getting better and better at 'leave it' so we can continue playing.

He is also learning 'enough' for when he gets too excited about the little boy next door running up and down the hall. A firm 'enough' and a treat quiets him right up.
