Hi there, I'm Sarge - a 55-pound Blue Heeler mix with a big heart and an independent streak. I'm a sweet guy once you get to know me, but I like to take things at my own pace. When I first meet new people, I tend to hang back and observe; I'm more of a "let me explore first" kind of dog. It's not that I don't care - I just need a little time to feel comfortable. The best way to get to know me is to take me for a nice walk and let me sniff around while we spend time together. I'd really like to meet everyone who lives in the home before I commit to joining your family. Once I feel safe and trust you, I'll show my softer side - standing close for pets, checking in to see what you're doing, and even sneaking in a kiss or two. Because I have clear boundaries and value my personal space, I'd do best in a calmer home without small kids or a lot of noise and activity. I'm looking for someone patient who understands that building trust with me takes time, but once that bond forms, it's truly special. I'm affectionate, loyal, and love being part of my person's day once I know I'm safe. I'm also an active boy who thrives on adventures, exercise, and activities that keep my sharp mind busy. If you can offer me understanding, time, and plenty of walks, I promise I'll show you just how sweet and devoted I can be.
My adoption fee of $225+tax covers the cost of my care and stay here at the humane society.
All Pennington County residents must also pay an additional $8 licensing fee at time of adoption.
Happy Adopting!
