I was rescued from a Texas kill shelter by my foster mom. She came to adopt another dog but saw I was scheduled to be euthanized due to space and decided to bring me back to Colorado too!     I weigh 50 pounds and am working on gaining weight. When the shelter found me as a stray, I weighed only 30 pounds and was severely malnourished and dehydrated. I spent almost 4 months at the shelter.   I am a huge love bug- I prefer to sleep directly on top of you if I can. I am full of joy and energy. I love toys and could entertain myself for hours. I'm also very fond of fetch. I am a super-fast runner and would thrive living somewhere I could run.   I just started learning commands, but I am very intelligent and can already sit, shake, and sometimes come. I am still working on basic manners like counter surfing. I can occasionally be puppy destructive when left unattended, so I do best kenneled when home alone. I am a dog that thrives with activity and enrichment. I like to adventure and don't mind car rides!   Because of my traumatic background, I am still learning that people are safe. I bark and get quite scared when meeting new people. However, if you give me a few minutes and respect my boundaries (and give me treats!), I warm up quickly. Due to my background with food, I will occasionally resource guard with humans over my food and toys by growling- but have not seen this be a problem with other dogs.   I love other dogs and have improved on responding to their cues. At times, I can be a bit rough with my play, but I've gotten a lot better at taking breaks! The shelter said I don't mind cats, but my foster mom is not sure.    I currently have a leg injury. We don't know how I hurt my leg, but I have a vet appointment in a week to have it looked at. My foster mom set up a GoFundMe to help with any medical fees associated with my leg. I have a $100 adoption fee to ensure I go to a family who will really love me!    Although I've been through a lot, I have infinite love to give. Please give me a chance!   Thank you!!!!  Please call/text or email me. My email is kanderson14@winona.edu and my phone number is (612) 518-3121
