Please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org if you can help!

Hi! My name is Al and I am from Minnesota

Al is so sweet and such a goofball.

He is super smart, both house and kennel trained and loves to play!

Al is great with other dogs and seems to be good with cats (although he has only been around them once for a few hours)! He loves to run around and if he could, he would be outside all day. Although he does love a nice comfy couch or bed inside.

From the foster: He is a little skittish around some people but after some time, he does warm up to them. It is best to approach him slowly and let him come to you. Once he trusts you he will fall right into your lap and let you hold him as if he was a tiny lap dog.

Finally Al does seem to have some anxiety. Occasionally, something will trigger or overstimulate him and he will panic not wanting to leave your side until he has settled.

The husky breed is renowned for its striking appearance, characterized by piercing eyes and a thick double coat. These medium sized, energetic dogs are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, making them wonderful companions for active families. Originally bred for sledding and endurance in cold climates, huskies are intelligent and independent, often displaying a strong prey drive. Proper training and regular exercise are crucial to keep these playful and social animals happy and well adjusted.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
