Oh — hi! Renji here.

I'm a goofy, whole-body wiggling optimist who starts reserved but absolutely blooms once you gain my trust—then I'm yours forever with endless cuddles and that ridiculous smile.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.

I'm a St. Louis Park local, just waiting on the right person.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

Who knows — by Halloween I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.

Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Renji

About Renji

Renji is a happy‑go‑lucky, goofy, lovable american bulldog mix who brings sunshine everywhere he goes. When he's excited, his whole body wiggles—not just his tail—and his big, joyful "smile" is impossible to resist. He's friendly with everyone he meets, walks beautifully on a leash, and is the perfect passenger for car rides. Truly, he has never met a stranger. At home, Renji is a sweet mix of cuddly and independent. He loves being near his humans, giving kisses, and burrowing into pillows on the couch or bed, but he also enjoys having his own space to relax. He's well‑trained, eager to please, and knows an impressive list of commands including Sit, Stay, Down, Heel, Wait, Leave It, Shake, and more. He's potty trained, does great on walks, and enjoys exploring the yard. He doesn't react to squirrels or bunnies but will give a few barks to the mail carrier or delivery drivers. Renji is ball obsessed—fetch is his absolute favorite game, and he'll happily play as long as you're willing. Just be prepared: he won't drop the ball unless he sees you have another one ready to go. After playtime, he's content to lounge, nap, and soak up the calm. He has done well with visiting dogs and dogs he meets on walks, and he has also done well with cats in homes he's visited. He does wonderfully with kids outside the home, but because he has had some reaction to the young child in his previous home, he needs a home without small children. Older, considerate kids are a great fit. Renji does have allergies that need ongoing management to keep him comfortable. He has been well‑loved and well cared for, and it shows—he's confident, social, affectionate, and ready to bond deeply with his new family. If you're looking for a silly, sweet, well‑trained companion who will make you laugh every single day, Renji is ready to wiggle his way into your heart. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
