Mingus

Mingus is currently in foster care, and this is what his foster family says about him! <br/><br/>Mingus is an 18 lb Heeler mix puppy and an absolute darling. He is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and a cozy, snuggle bug.<br/><br/>Mingus wants to play with, kiss, and snuggle every animal and person he meets. For a stray puppy, he is remarkably well-behaved in the home. Pleasing people comes naturally to him. He sits and lies down on command, sits patiently by the door for walks, walks well on a leash, returns to a whistle, and is fast learning the difference between toys and socks. He will even opt to nap on the couch all alone when he's tired enough. When directed off furniture, he abides. He has not been kennel trained in foster care and will most likely bark/whine if he is kenneled but knows people are home. He just wants to be included in everything. <br/><br/>Mingus takes treats gently and barely cares about food. He seems to be a "grazer" and may benefit from a household that allows him to free feed. He shows no signs of food aggression, but occasionally resource guards human attention from his biggest foster sister (85lb Rotti mix). He usually seeks his smallest foster sister to play with (16 lb Aussie). He has taken corrections from his foster dog siblings and will likely find his place in any pack (if you have other dogs). <br/><br/>Mingus would do GREAT with a family, with or without other pets. He would be a great "first family puppy" (*cough* Christmas? *cough*). He plays gently with kids and listens to their commands. Though he is a high-energy breed, his small size and personality, would make him just as successful out in the country or in a house/apartment in town.
