My Story: I came into Red Lake Rosie's Rescue on the Red Lake reservation as a stray. I was starving and my ears were all full of burrs. Now I am on my way to having a healthy, shiny coat and a full tummy.


Hobbies: My favorite thing besides eating is having lots of pets from anyone that will spend the time with me. I wag my tail so hard that my butt hardly hits the ground. I am a happy boy that just wants an active family with lots of love to give. I love rides in the car. And being a springer I think I would love a cabin near a lake for swimming. I probably could be a good hunter but do not want to be left in one of those outdoor kennels. I have had enough of that life.


Commands/Tricks: I am very smart and a quick learner. My name is new to me so I may not come right away when called. I do sit nicely for treats and pets.

Crate / Potty Trained: I am totally housetrained and stay in a kennel when my foster mom is gone.



Activity Level: medium to high. As a springer I am full of energy. But being a bit older I do calm down when in the house. I sleep through the night in a doggie bed. Daily walks will help me the best dog I can be.


Fun things I do: Running around outside is how I like to spend my afternoons. Frisbees are my favorite toys. I will run after them and carry them around but do not quite have the hang of bringing them back to my foster mom yet. Another dog to play with would be grand.

Socialization/who I currently live with: I currently live my foster mom and her teenage son. She owns Rescue Buddy Boarding & Beyond so we have lots of playful dogs coming and going and I love playing with all of them. There is also a resident springer here to keep me company.
