Pumba's Story

Meet Pumba! This brave and athletic young dog has a lot of potential, but he's also a bit timid and needs a special someone to help him blossom. Pumba is independent and protective, and while these traits can be valuable, he needs guidance and positive reinforcement to channel them appropriately. He's a smart pup who would benefit greatly from basic training, which will not only teach him commands but also build his confidence. Pumba's early life hasn't provided him with much socialization with other dogs, so whether he can integrate into a multi-dog household is unknown. Slow and careful introductions will be key if you have other canine companions. While Pumba is a sweet boy, it's important to understand that he's not your typical family dog. He would thrive best in a home with an owner experienced with the breed and understanding of his needs. He would do best in a working home. Pumba needs a patient, understanding, and dedicated owner who is willing to put in the time and effort to help him overcome his timidity and reach his full potential. He needs someone who can provide a structured environment and consistent training. If you're looking for a challenging but rewarding companion and are experienced with working breeds, Pumba might be the perfect fit for you. He has the potential to be an amazing dog with the right person by his side. Pumba'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. 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
