Meet Happy
Peace and relaxation. If that describes your environment, then Happy is the dog for you! At 7 years of age, Happy has determined that what he loves most is a quiet environment with daily walks and time spent with his humans. He also will always say yes to time spent sun-bathing on the deck.
Happy is as smart as can be too! One day, when he was feeling like his mind needed a challenge, this 75-pound MacGyver figured out how to open the fence gate. He will gladly accept a brain game or two a day instead though.
Some things in this world are a little too much for Happy and cause him to feel overwhelmed. With guests, Happy thrives with the slow introduction, Treat & Retreat approach. Having a safe place for him to retreat to when things are too much will be very important for him. Also, when meeting new people, Happy wears a muzzle to make everyone (including Happy) feel calm. Once he warms up to them and joins the Happy Circle of Trust, it’s magical!
Another thing is shared walls, like in apartments or townhomes. Happy is not about commotion or a lot of auditory stimulators so shared wall environments are not a match for him. Or being around little kids… it’s too many sudden movements and eye contact for Happy. He really thrives in a slow, calm environment and will feel his best in one.
Other dogs are perfectly okay with him, and he likes to play, but if another dog is too extra for him, he will just simply walk away. Happy would love to be a part of something like the Confidence Club at Dog Days St. Paul. It’s where skilled trainers carefully manage a small pack of dogs facilitating pro social interaction with dogs and humans at the pace the dog is ready for.
Did we mention that Happy loves to snuggle?! He is the perfect couch cuddle companion when you are ready to sit down and read a book, sip a cup of coffee in the morning, or watch your favorite TV show.

There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is often unknown. All ages and breeds are best guess.
Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 90-mile radius of Minneapolis; however, we will consider up to 250 miles if the adopter is willing to drive to cities as needed.
