Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Collin is from Texas. He was brought into rescue along with his mom and 6 siblings after being found by a Good Samaritan just struggling to stay alive. Collin has received proper veterinary care and nutrition, and is now absolutely thriving in rescue, so it's time to find him a home of his own right here in MN. Collin is a big-hearted, fun-loving pup who’s ready to fill your home with joy and laughter! This resilient boy has quickly adapted to indoor life and thrives in a structured routine. Collin is a social butterfly who adores people and other dogs. He’s affectionate, goofy, and incredibly intelligent—he learned to sit for treats in just 30 minutes! He’s treat-motivated (just say the word “cookie,” and he’s all ears) and loves games like fetch and tug-of-war. While he doesn’t need another dog in his future home, having a canine buddy to play and keep him company would make him happy. Collin is also completely potty trained. I mean this sweet boy is every dog lovers dream.. Just a plug and play best friend. Collin’s perfect day includes zoomies in a fenced backyard, playing with toys, and curling up in a cozy spot to watch his humans. He’s crate-trained and willingly heads into his crate for a treat, although he’ll linger outside the playpen just in case you change your mind about putting him away. His love for his people is unmatched—he’s always ready to give hugs and soak up attention. While Collin’s gentle and loving nature makes him a wonderful family dog, his enthusiasm for life means he’s still working on a few manners, like jumping up and resisting the temptation of counters. He’d do best in a home with kids over 10 and an active household that can provide him with the exercise and training he needs to thrive. Cats are also a big nope for this guy, as he sees them as prey.. not friends. Collin seldom barks and is remarkably well-adjusted despite his early hardships. He’ll flourish in a home with space to run, lots of love, and someone who can keep up with his playful energy. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and fun companion who will bring a smile to your face every day, Collin might be your perfect match!
