Gary - Pug and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Buffalo, Minnesota

Location: Champlin, MN

This little goofy boy is Gary! Gary and his brother, Larry (see his page!), came into rescue together. They are 1.5-years-old! Ideally, they would be adopted together, but if separate, then go to a home with a confident dog to give them guidance!

Gary is very timid of new people and experiences at first, but as soon as he realizes you're safe, or the toy is fun, or the bone is actually yummy he is ALL IN. Gary has medium energy, he gets very excited to see me, gets his wiggles out, and then happily will sit on my lap.

Gary is potty trained. Right now he and his brother, Larry, have been in a room together at night. He will whine for a few minutes and then settle down. When he hears you awake in the morning he will let you know!

He enjoys being outside. Gary does well with other low and medium energy dogs, he likely wouldn't do well with high energy dogs.

Gary grazes his food right now, but could be trained to eat just two meals a day if that is needed. He thinks most dog treats are gross besides the soft beef ones, but is definitely up for a good bone and some chicken jerky strip chews.
They have been around older kids and do well, no experience to comment on about young kids or cats though.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The pug is a small yet sturdy breed known for its charming personality and distinctive appearance.
