Rigby and his 3 siblings found themselves unwanted and on death row in a high kill shelter in West Texas.  They love other dogs. They love everyone and everything, cats are unknown however likely ok with slow intros and supervision.  All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.

Hello I am Rigby, 
I am new to MN so I am trying to figure things out here. I have yet to meet a dog I don't like, big or small. I am respectful of the crabby ones too.   I love chewing on bones and I share them well with the other dogs here, we are always swapping them around.
I enjoy chasing the big dog, but I just can't keep up with him with my little legs, it's ok, I wait for him to circle back and I try again. Zoomies in the house are so much fun as I can run right underneath him.  Playing tug with the toys or stuffies is another favorite past time of mine. I do like to chew on the toys and I am not really sure what all are toys and what aren't, so if you leave clothes on the floor I may walk off with them.
I love to hang out on the couch or a comfy dog bed. I am somewhat of a couch potato.  I am pretty quite, but please know I am a hound, so can I sing the song of my people if I feel the need. I am a velcro pup and like to be near the humans, big or small. I am a very gentle boy.
I have met a cat and I didn't really care much about them, I did give her kisses and sniff, she was so sweet with me. So I would be ok with a dog savvy cat in the home and of course proper introductions. I am still young so I do get spurts of energy which apparently not all animals appreciate.
I have enjoyed the car rides I have been on and I sleep snuggled on the dog bed in the back or will rest my head on the center console if I can reach it. I walk decently on a leash already, I've not been on one before, so I am excited for the adventures these things bring. I am eagar to learn and love my atta boy praises, especially if there are treats involved. I know sit and I guess I am working on my recall, whatever that is. 
I am catching on to potty training, but not quite there yet. I know how to use a doggie door for going in/outside.  I will use pee pad (but sometimes I miss or forget, oops).
I am learning about kennel training and I am improving everyday, I go in easy if you toss some treats or a bone inside. I don't mind being in there when I eat my meals, but I do eat just fine next to the resident dogs too, one actually spits food out for me to eat, how awesome is that? I am not fussy on my food or my treats, I am not one to pass up food. 
I keep my kennel clean at night and when I am in it, but I do prefer to sleep with a companion near by. So the humans have me sleep in the same room with them and I will sleep all night that way. I was even allowed to sleep on a dog bed on the floor for part of a night as a test run, which was a-m-a-z-i--n-g. I am hoping I can keep doing that really soon. 

If you're looking for an inquistive, laid back, loyal pooch, I'm your guy. 

First priority will go to someone who lives in the twin cities metro in order to bring to a vet visit for neuter appointment.  Please put in your application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org.
