Just a very good old boy, we adore him. <br/><br/>💛 Personality Snapshot<br/>• Describe in 3–5 words: friendly, mellow, relaxed, well behaved <br/>• Energy level (Low / Moderate / High): good energy while on walks, enjoys sleeping and cuddling otherwise <br/>• More people‑oriented or independent? Independent but enjoys getting pets and taking a nap on your lap<br/>• How do they handle new situations? Very chill and well behaved <br/><br/>🐕 Social & Home Life<br/>• How are they with people (adults/kids/new people)? Great and relaxed with everyone he meets! Kids, dogs, crowds<br/>• How are they with other dogs? Relaxed, not super interested <br/>• Cats or other animals (if known)? Only one quick interaction with a cat and he was very relaxed and polite <br/>• Behavior when left alone or when guests visit: sleeps when left alone <br/><br/>🌞 Daily Life<br/>• Typical day with you: follows you around, naps on the couch, happy to go on walks <br/>• Exercise needs: low <br/>• Favorite activities or toys: enjoys walks, hasn’t expressed interest in toys or playing much<br/> <br/>🌱 Growth Areas<br/>• Anything they’re still working on?

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy
First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
