Meet Erik—a goofy, happy pointer mix around 3 years old. Medium-sized at about 50 pounds, Erik thrives on attention and would swap all your snacks for a long hug. He’s a champion jumper who loves to throw his paws around people in big bear hugs. 'Four on the floor' isn’t in his vocabulary just yet, but food gets his attention quick and helps teach new habits. He loves being part of the action and keeps things light with his playful personality. Erik is hoping a new home in Rochester, MN is just the thing he needs to finally settle in. He gets along well with other dogs, so if you’ve got a canine playmate waiting, he’s game. Because of his size and excitement, any kids at home should be 16 years or older. Erik’s looking for someone who enjoys energetic company and isn’t afraid of a little chaos while he learns his manners. Ready to let Erik join your family? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
