Midnight was rescued from a homeless man in NYC, found to be emaciated and with a broken leg. A good Samaritan paid $20 for him and he was brought into our rescue for recovery and foster. We are waiting to see if there is some improvement in the leg before deciding how to proceed - we will keep you updated!
Midnight is crate trained for overnights and sleeps through the night in it with no issue. He does not like being crated if he hears activity going on elsewhere in the house. He will bark if he hears you out and about - so in the morning time he loves to come out and go outside to go potty and stretch his muscles. Apartment life would not be ideal for Mr. Midnight! He is currently working on leash training to curb his pulling. He is very lively and eager to smell all the smells and experience the world. His curious personality shines through on walks, but he will need to learn some commands to prevent pulling. For the most part, he is housebroken, as long as he is let out on a regular schedule. He would benefit from some cue training to learn how to alert his adopters to his need to go out.
Midnight eats twice daily- a dry kibble diet. Midnight enjoys a good squeaky toy or a game of fetch but LOVES to play with a canine friend. He would benefit from a playmate in another pup who is active and engages with him in some rough and tumble play. He has lots of energy and loves to play.
When interacting with people, Midnight needs to take his time to warm up to new friends in the home. He has bonded quickly to his foster mom, tiny humans, and canine friend. He aims to "guard" or protect his people. While he loves people, he is very protective and demonstrates some anxiety when things appear amiss as new people enter the family space. There are some trust issues with outsiders, so a potential adopter needs to be cognizant of doing slow introductions or providing a comfortable space for him to be in so that he feels that everyone is safe. He would do best in a home where there is not a lot of comings and goings - calm is key for him to feel that he and his people are a-okay.
When it comes to hanging around at home, Midnight needs more time and some opportunities to relax a bit more. He loves to be involved in the group with a highly playful interaction - but until he settles - relaxation is hard for him. He is working on learning to settle when present with the whole family. He prefers to roughhouse and is getting to know the boundaries. He needs time and patience to learn how to chill out and enjoy some quiet time with his favorite people. He is currently in foster with two children and has come to adore them with the proper boundaries in place. Due to the unpredictability & activeness of young children as well as Midnight's ongoing training, we recommend Midnight go to a home with children over the age of 10.
Midnight's favorite thing to do is laying in his bed, basking in the sun, and looking out the windows at the world going by. He is full of love and affection. Just look at his adorably-goofy smile! This little guy just needs the love, patience, and training to become the best family dog. If you have a calm home ready for a loving and active boy in need of some rehabilitation, then Midnight is your guy & he is waiting for you!
Midnight is UTD on shots, is neutered, and is ready to find the right fit for his forever family.
