Oh hi, I’m Renegade! I’m a sweet, lazy, gentle giant who’s lived a life of freedom and adventures. I’m a man who knows what he wants, when he wants it and can be a bit stubborn and sometimes vocal about it. I feel like someone who can help me solidify boundaries and coax out my true confidence will bring my best qualities to light. After all, I’m a big sweetheart with lots of love to give.

I relate most to a wise elder. I’m calm, always observing and only move when necessary. I’m trustworthy and can be left outside of a crate with no fuss or accidents. (Just make sure I have something to chew on to keep me happy and your shoes safe.) I’m a loyal friend and I love naps, cheese, chicken, and a good belly/neck rub. Don’t be fooled by my chill look and calm demeanour, I’m still a young pup after all! Foster mom calls me her handsome house hippo, but when I get a case of the zoomies, I look more like a baby moose; uncoordinated and unaware of my size. I’m also an expert jumper, but respect fences and gates.

I’m a man of boundaries, but also enjoy testing them from time-to-time. A simple “sit”, “out”, “stay”, or “let’s see” is usually enough to get me back on track. I’m a handshakes over hugs kind of guy. I love my doggies friends, especially my foster sister, but do prefer proper introductions. Cats are interesting and I’ve only seen them from a distance but I think that if my new home will help me learn proper boundaries that I could share my home with one. Kids are squirmy and I feel most confident around ones who are respectful and calm. Quick movements can make me feel uncomfortable. Proper introductions with kids and cats too please!

I’ve been polishing up my leash skills, foster mom says I’m good but not great just yet. Generally non-reactive but can have some feelings towards random dogs or critters. Not exactly sure why, I’m sure it’s a “them” problem and not a “me” problem, but an obedience class for reactivity might be something I could benefit from!

Years of adventure has made me appreciate the things I’m given and I sometimes need a reminder that it’s ok to share. Being a part of MUR has made me feel safe and I can’t wait to continue feeling that way in my forever home. So, if you’re looking for a sweet, gentle giant who’s loyal, loving and bound to make you laugh - I’m your guy! Can’t wait to meet you!
