History: Rambo is a striking young dog with a lot of love to offer the right environment. He thrives with consistency and a confident adopter as well as being the only dog in the home. He likely was not set up for success as a young puppy and never learned those fundamentals in sharing :) Because of this, a non-kid home is also recommended. He is a great boy and with the right family will be a wonderful addition to the family!
A Note from the Foster: Hi! I’m Rambo - Let me get right to the point and tell you a little about me!!
I take the job of “best friend” very seriously. I’m the friendliest guy around! If I’m really excited to see you, I might even give you a hug… but I try to be polite, so I’m also big on handshakes, because I’m a gentleman like that.
On the daily, I’m usually sleeping next to my foster mom while she works, keeping an eye out the window for anything suspicious, or (when my foster mom is in the office) hanging out in my kennel. Mostly, I’m pretty chill. A couple times a day, I get the zoomies, and I love to go full steam ahead then! 🚂💨
My absolute FAVORITE game is tug-o-war, especially when I get the zoomies. I’m a strong boy, so I’ll definitely win! I’ll even bring my toy right to you when I want to play, which is super cute (or so I’m told!).
I know sit, and I take treats very gently. My kennel is my happy place, second (of course) to being with my people. My foster mom was so surprised with how obedient I am when it’s time to go “kennel.” I’m potty trained, and I ask to go outside if I need to. When we go on walks, I’ve been making great progress on my leash manners. I’m a big dude who just loves to sniff… but I get that sometimes we have to leave those interesting smells alone.
My profile says “only dog” or something. The reality is, I’m sure there are dogs out there I could learn to coexist with and often try to make friends when out and about… but I’d really prefer to be your one and only canine.
If I could pick, I would love a family that would take me on fun adventures. I love exploring and going on walks, and I think hikes sound like a great time!
If you’re looking for a new best friend, you’re in luck — because I would love to BE your new best friend! If you give me your love, I’ll give it all back - and then some. If I sound like the dog for you, I would love to meet you!!
Sincerely, Rambo

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
