(He’s not complaining about the extra snacks.)This boy is very food motivated, which makes our volunteer trainers downright giddy. Treats? Yes, please. Learning new skills? Absolutely. Resse is the kind of dog who says, “Show me the snack and I’ll show you my potential.” With his eagerness and drive, he’s primed to thrive in continued training and will likely love having a job to do.Resse has an energetic personality paired with a busy, curious mind. He enjoys enrichment activities that let him think, problem-solve, and engage his senses. Puzzle toys, scent games, interactive play — sign him up! Keeping his brain active is just as important as stretching those legs.And speaking of legs... walks with Resse are an adventure. He doesn’t just walk — he investigates. Every leaf, every breeze, every interesting scent deserves a moment of consideration. He likes to smell and look at everything, taking in the world with enthusiasm and curiosity. For him, a walk is less about the destination and more about the discovery.If you’re looking for a bright, energetic companion who will keep you moving, keep you laughing, and happily work for snacks along the way, Resse might just be your guy. He’s ready to trade shelter life for a home where he can continue building skills, gaining healthy weight, and being the very best version of himself.If you are interested in meeting Reese, please complete an Interest Form. An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.
