Bourbon

** If you are interested in adopting Bourbon, please fill out an application at: https://www.loveandpuppypawsdogrescue.com/adoption-application **<br/><br/>Bourbon is a playful, outgoing almost 2 year old mixed breed dog that weighs 68 lbs. He is full grown and will not get any larger. This handsome boy is the perfect combination of goofy, adventurous, playful, and affectionate. With his wiggly personality, silly expressions, and zest for life, Bourbon has a way of making every day a little more fun! Bourbon has an adventurous spirit and a curious nature, making him an excellent companion for outdoor adventures. Whether you're exploring hiking trails, going on nature walks, or simply enjoying time outside, he's always ready to tag along! He's also a total social butterfly who loves making new doggy friends. Give him a playful pup to romp around with, and he'll happily play until he's ready to recharge with a well deserved nap. Don't let his goofy, fun loving personality fool you, though! Bourbon is a smart boy who catches on quickly when treats are involved. He's very food motivated and eager to learn, making positive reinforcement a great way to teach him new commands. Honestly, if Bourbon knew there was a treat waiting on the other side, he might just try to jump over the moon for you! He's equally charming when meeting new people. Bourbon is friendly, outgoing, and quick to win hearts with his silly facial expressions and his knack for getting close to people in hopes of scoring some affection. He's the kind of dog who makes friends wherever he goes and brings plenty of joy to the people lucky enough to know him. One of Bourbon's best qualities is his adaptable, easygoing personality. He's just as happy joining you for an adventure as he is settling in for a relaxing day at home. Want to spend the morning exploring scenic trails? He's your guy! Planning a cozy movie marathon the next day? He'll happily sprawl out beside you, keeping himself entertained with his favorite chew bone or toys while you enjoy your downtime. Bourbon would love a family who makes him part of their everyday lives, includes him in fun adventures, and appreciates all the goofy, wiggly, lovable energy he brings to the table. He's ready to be someone's adventure buddy, couch companion, and best friend all rolled into one.<br/><br/>Bourbon is medium energy, and he never passes up the chance to go on a fun outdoor adventure with his humans. He loves playing with toys, romping around with his doggy friends, and cuddling on the couch with his foster mom. He is highly food motivated and loves play mental stimulation games, like puzzles that involve his favorite treats. Some of his favorite long lasting bones to work on while his humans are busy are elk antlers and bully sticks. He also loves running around the yard and play wrestling with the other dogs in his foster home. He has such a goofy, playful personality and is very animated when he is playing, making the funniest faces and getting zoomies around the yard. While he enjoys playing with his doggy and human friends, he’s also perfectly content to entertain himself with his favorite toys when he can't find anyone to play with. When he's ready for some down time, he will find a comfy spot on a dog bed and chew on a bone or will toss around his favorite toy to keep himself busy. His ideal home will have a toy box full of squeaky toys, ropes, and chew toys, and he’d be thrilled to have a BarkBox subscription to keep the fun going with new surprises every month. Bourbon is the type of dog that would enjoy going on fun adventures exploring nature trails, hiking in the mountains, and romping around at the river. He would thrive with an active family that enjoys the outdoors.<br/><br/>Bourbon is dog, cat, and kid friendly. He is currently in a foster home with multiple dogs of different ages and sizes. He would love to be the only dog in the home so he can get all the attention and cuddles for himself, but he would pair well with a female dog or a laid back, more submissive male dog. He does well coexisting with all the dogs in his foster home, but can be a little much for the older senior dogs sometimes. When meeting his foster sisters for the first time he was very playful and excited, but acted appropriately and handled their corrections well when they were tired of his silly puppy antics. On walks he can get really excited when seeing dogs in the distance, but has a much calmer introduction when meeting a new dog on side by side walks. He knows proper doggy communication skills and how to respect boundaries with doggy friends, and takes correction well if other dogs communicate that they don't want to play. He doesn't like to be challenged by dominant male dogs though and will stand his ground with them. There is a kitty in his foster home and he doesn't pay any attention to it most of the time. Sometimes he tries to engage in play with the kitty, but respects their boundaries once he gets a swat in the face telling him to back off. He would do best with dog-friendly cats that have lived with dogs before as he is playful and will want to play with them if there are no other dogs in the home. He would do well with kids that are 10 year old and up. He doesn't realize how big he is so he would easily knock over toddlers or babies in the home that aren't as steady on their feet. He loves to play, cuddle, and share his sweet puppy kisses so a family with older kids that can toss a ball with him in the backyard or engage in training games with him are ideal.<br/><br/>Bourbon is kennel trained, leash trained, and potty trained. He will sleep in a kennel at night with no fuss if he has to, but enjoys a treat and some of his favorite toys as he settles in. He really loves when he gets to sleep in bed with his foster mom though and would love to snuggle up in bed with his family every night so he can get in as many cuddles as possible. When he needs to go outside and potty he will walk to the back door and start circling around to notify you he needs out. He does well staying in the kennel while his fosters are at work and will not have an accident in the kennel during a normal work day. Because he is still young and would be tempted to check out what's on the counters if his humans aren't home, he does need to be kenneled when left alone. He is comfortable walking on a leash and enjoys going out for walks around the neighborhood. He does get excited when he sees other dogs, but is easily redirected with some yummy treats. He is happy to go on leisurely walks around the neighborhood but really loves to go on longer hiking trails where he can sniff and explore.<br/><br/>Bourbon's ideal home would be a house with a fenced in backyard to run around and play in. He would do well in an apartment as long as he gets multiple exercise burning activities every day. He is comfortable going up and down stairs so he would do fine living in a home with stairs. He does fine with a family that works outside of the home as long as he gets to burn some energy as soon as they get home from work. No public dog parks for this sweet boy because who wants to risk your pup catching a disease or being bullied on by other random dogs anyways. Instead he would love to go on fun outings at Sniff Spots if he doesn't have a fenced in backyard to run around and play in. He would do love to have a family that has another friendly, active, playful female dog around his size or a more submissive male dog. He would also love to have older kids over the age of 10 to play and snuggle with. He would coexist well if there's a kitty in the home too. With his adaptable, fun-loving nature, he would be a wonderful fit for a variety of households. His ideal family is one that wants a playful pup to join in on fun outdoor adventures and also cuddle up on the couch after. He’s ready to grow up alongside a family who will cherish his playful spirit and include him in all of life’s big and small moments. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend and fun adventure buddy, Bourbon is the perfect pup for you.<br/><br/>Bourbon is in a foster home in St. Louis Park, MN.
