Howie - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Howie is a gorgeous pup with a soft scruffy coat and a heart full of gold. He is a confident, curious little boy who's always ready to greet you and give you a BIG HUG. He loves exploring his surroundings and playing with anyone, dog or human!. He has a soft, goofy, cuddly side. He seeks out your affection, and will gladly cuddle with you for as long as you are willing.

He is almost completely potty trained to go outdoors, and is very good at using his paper area inside of the x-pen as needed! He sleeps through the night in his kennel.

Whether he's investigating a new toy or curling up in your lap for snuggles, Howie brings a perfect balance of smarts, bravery, sweetness, calm and affection. He is good with other dogs and loves kids!

He had a rough start when he was hit by a car when he was a baby. He had a special airplane ride to Minnesota! Unfortunately, he had to have his right leg amputated, and has dealt with some issues. He has been recovering with love and patience ever since! NOW, he is all mended and looking for his forever home! He has such a calm spirit and a grateful heart!

Howie is estimated to be 18 weeks old and weighs approximately 14 lbs. Since we dont know the dogs actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

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.
