Meet Forest - courtesy post
Meet Forest!
Forest must have angels looking out for him because 2023 didn't start out great or this wonderful boy, but things are looking up. Now all he needs is to find his incredible adoptive home that we know will be blessed to have this enormous-hearted boy in their lives.
Forest was hit by a car and brought into the shelter in late February 2023, and he's been healing in an incredible foster home. Forest has made great progress and is almost fully recovered! He now walks about two miles a day with his foster mom, including hills. He can run now! He's playing fetch and tug as well. It's so rewarding to see this joyful boy play and romp... it almost feels as if he knows how lucky he is and so he grabs each precious moment and appreciates the smaller things in life.
He still has a puppy personality and finds the wonder and joy in life. However, he's grown-up enough to be housetrained, travel-worthy in cars, content when alone, and good on leash. He finds birds amazing and TV wondrous.
Forest and his foster family have been working hard to polish his skills around spending time politely around other dogs. They recommend he be either the only dog in his next home, or that he join a family with a tolerant, friendly dog friend who doesn't mind his teenager behavior.
Forest loves water and will play gleefully in his water bowl if allowed .... and he's supplied with lots of chews and toys because he's still a young dog who enjoys doing fun dog things, like chewing! He also enjoys time with his people; he's affectionate and loves petting but also is content lying with you while you work or watch TV. And when left alone he just snoozes in his crate or nearby.
Because he's a mid-sized dog of 54 pounds, the foster suggests no kids under age 12, or an adult-only family. His ideal home would have a fenced yard, someone home most of the time, an active person, someone interested in working with him doing fun games because he is so smart. He needs someone looking for a smart, energetic dog with lots of love to give.
See Forest's complete story in his YouTube video linked above, including his DNA results. You can also see him playing with his foster sisters and read other key info about this sweet boy in the Champion of My Heart blog post!

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
