Have you been looking for that diamond in the rough who has been polished to a flawed perfection in foster care?!
Look no further because Cheeto is your man!
Cheeto is a 67-ish pound, approximately 1-1/2 year old hound mix who had a rough start in life.
He has been trying very hard learning how to be the goodest dog while in foster care. He is very food motivated and he loves to learn & please.
He is 100% house trained and kennel trained. He is kenneled for a full work day right now and does great.
Cheeto thrives on routines, consistency, love, and positive reinforcement. He loves his walks on a gentle leader and really enjoys zoomies in the backyard.
Cheeto has a lot of emotions and is learning how to properly express them. Because of this, he sometimes takes a little longer when he meets new dogs. He loves being part of a pack but it will likely some extra take time, patience & understanding when introducing him. He would probably do best as an only doggo, even though he has lived with other dogs.
Speaking of attention, his favorite spot in the whole world is on your lap cuddling. He crawls right up onto your lap and into your heart. He also spends the night curled up next to me in bed, the closer the better. He sleeps through the night and wakes up with kisses to the alarm.
He would do best in a home without cats. He loves to chase them. If you have a dog-savvy cat who won't run away and will give him a good swat, he will respect that.
Cheeto has become the perfectly- imperfect dog looking for his forever home. If you'd like to learn more, please reach out!

Additional adoption info
We do screen applications in terms of trying to find the best fit for what we know about the dog or cat. For instance if a dog his high energy, or needs a fence, or needs another dog (to be more secure, or happier) we try to select applicants that are a better match for the dog (or cat).

More about this rescue
We are a relatively small foster-based rescue group. We got started in rescue through a general love for animals and by coming across a dog that lived outside in a pen (in rural Minnesota). I was told that the owners probably did not want the dog. I met the dog myself and he was very desperate for human attention. I approached the owners several days later via a phone call and told them I had heard they might not want the dog, (from a neighbor) and I said, that I was aware of some rescues in MN and I could probably get the dog to rescue to find a home for him. I had not been connected with rescues prior to learning about this dog, but I started googling and researching rescues in MN and contacting them to ask if they could take this dog in. Almost every rescue I contacted told me there were too full, but one said they could take him in if he was neutered. I decided that, if the owner turned him over to me, I would get him neutered and vaccinated, etc. The owner surprisingly said yes, "sure I could take the dog." They knew he needed a better life, he had come to them as a stray and they kind of took him in.
So I made a vet appointment, drove out and got the dog and got him vetted, and made an arrangement to meet the rescue that took him in at the time (Homeward Bound) and I started volunteering with them, helping at their adoption events. I was able to be at an adoption event when this dog "Max" was getting adopted by a couple who had a fence and another dog. We kept in touch, I got to see what a beautiful life Max got to have, all because I decided to take some action. I kept volunteering with HB and other rescues for approximately 8 or so years and then gradually began the origins of RRR.
We have many volunteer foster homes, we have a Cat Coordinator and Office Manager, we have transport volunteers we work with and other kinds of temp volunteers. We are always looking for more volunteers, especially foster homes! We take in animals with sometimes more complex medical issues, that heretofore have never been addressed, so we always appreciate donations!
We do this because our eyes were opened to the vast amount of animals (more so in the southern states) that are in pounds and shelters and at constant risk of euthanization, homelessness or neglect (a life outside on a chain or in a pen). I learned from other rescues that if you put in the effort you can find these animals good homes. I always felt it was up to humans to make that difference since humans are mostly the reason they are subject to these dead-end situations they end up in. There are many wonderful homes that make all the difference to an animal that otherwise would face an early demise or a life of neglect.
