Davidson

My story

Hi, I am Davidson!  I hail from Arkansas, but am happy to be here in Minnesota. Actually, I'm just happy in general!   Here is a quick overview, but please read more about me below, too.     I know how to sit, shake, and lie down. I am pretty good at “wait”, too.    As a new resident of Minnesota, I am practicing my hockey skills and sometimes do full-body checks on dogs and people out of excitement. I may knock over people or smaller kids who aren't sure-footed because I haven't figured out that this is the effect. I happily swing my butt and head around and have not yet figured out that when those parts of me run into a part of you that it doesn't feel great.  I do seem to be aware that my human foster siblings (8 and 10) are smaller and take this into consideration when I'm with them.    I am a lover of toys! I prance around happily when I have one and am always willing to share with other dogs.  I make a funny little growly sound when I'm really excited about the toy I'm trying to show you and get you to play with. It's not an aggressive thing by any means, just my way to communicate how jacked I am about it!   I am good in my kennel after some initial whining. I stay there when my foster parents leave the house. I prefer to sleep in bed with my people and my furry foster siblings, but will sleep in the kennel if I must.    I am super dog-friendly. I have not shown any reactive behaviors. I want to play with friends I meet right away, but am also mindful of their cues and when they aren't quite ready to play with me. I have not shown any signs of resource guarding, either. In fact, one of my furry foster siblings is a little rude and tries to take toys from my mouth, and I just let her do it.    I like lounging on the floor near my foster family's feet, but also enjoy a good dog bed and some time on the couch with my head in my people's lap.    I am a bit vocal, but it is when I'm trying to tell you something…like needing to go out to potty or REALLY wanting to play. For this reason, I may not be the best candidate for a home with shared walls, unless your neighbors understand that dogs sometimes bark to communicate. It isn't incessant, just loud.    I have an impressive vertical and jump in the air, excitedly, when it's time to eat, go outside, and play.   I would love to meet you, get some pets, and play tug of war! After that, maybe some butt scratches and snuggles?      Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
