Booker

Meet Booker: Looking for a Confident Leader<br/>2 Years Old | Pro-Cuddler | High Potential<br/>Booker is a handsome 2-year-old who didn't get the typical "puppy starter pack." Having spent his first year in a majority outside shelter, he's still figuring out the ropes of being a family dog. He's made incredible progress in his foster home, and now he's looking for a dog-savvy, adult-only home that enjoys the rewarding work of guiding a resilient dog.<br/>The Perfect Match<br/>Booker is a "follow the leader" kind of guy. He is happiest when he's with a confident handler who can make the big decisions for him. When he knows his human has the situation under control, he can finally let his guard down and just relax. He's looking for a partner who understands dog body language and is happy to be his advocate in the world.<br/>Safety & Boundaries<br/>Because Booker is still learning how to handle his big feelings, he's not afraid to use his teeth to ask for space when he feels overwhelmed. For this reason, he's looking for a family that is pro-muzzle. He's already a total champ with his muzzle and wears it on outings like a pro! His new owners should be comfortable continuing this routine in busy or new places to keep him feeling secure and successful.<br/>The Sweet Side<br/>Once you're in Booker's "inner circle," he is the ultimate companion:<br/> The Best Cuddler: He loves a good movie marathon on the couch and is a world-class snuggler.<br/> A Growing Socialite: While he warms up to women a bit faster, he's learned that guys can be pretty great, too!<br/> Animal Friends: He's currently living peacefully with cats and most other dogs.<br/> The Basics: He's fully vaccinated, house-trained, and ready for a structured routine.<br/>Booker isn't just looking for a house; he's looking for a mentor. If you're a confident handler who loves seeing a dog's potential turn into reality, Booker is ready to meet you!<br/>Booker's adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue's care.<br/>We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website. www.northernlakesrescue.org
