My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! I’m Tamiko, but my friends call me Kiki — because every royal deserves a nickname. 👑

When I first arrived at my foster home around 4 months old, I was a shy little lady. But fast forward to today, and I’m a confident princess ready to find my forever castle (complete with belly rubs, snacks, and toys, of course).

Speaking of toys… I might be a bit of a collector. Okay fine, I’ve claimed every single toy in the house and created my own royal treasure pile. I sort through them daily — a girl’s gotta make sure her kingdom’s in order!

I live with two foster brothers (ages 7 and 2) and absolutely adore playing with them. I love all dogs — big, small, goofy, or chill — and would thrive in a home with another furry friend or two.

When meeting new people, I’m the total opposite of shy now — I’ll flop over for belly rubs and gaze up with my big brown eyes until you melt. I’m smart, treat-motivated, and my sniffing skills? Let’s just say I could moonlight as a detective. 🕵️‍♀️
Whether it’s snuggling by your side, claiming the pillow as my throne, or keeping watch from my dog bed, I’ll be the most loyal (and entertaining) addition to your family.

Ready to meet your new royal sidekick? Pick me, Princess Kiki! 💖

Additional adoption info

Northern Lakes Rescue wants to make adopting your next pet the best experience you have in adopting a pet. When you see a animal you are interested, in we encourage you to email us at info@northernlakesrescue.org with what dog you are interested in.

NLR is 100% volunteer run, and we do our best to respond within 48 hours to all email inquiries regarding adoptions.

All adoptions will require an application, home visit, personal and vet references and a meet and greet. Our adoption fees range from $300-425 depending on the dog.
All dogs over 6 months of age will be spay/neutered, vaccinated to age and micro-chipped. Puppies being adopted will require a spay/neuter and vaccine contract.

Finalizing an adoption includes signing a contract and paying the adoption fee.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Northern Lakes Rescue is foster based so all dogs are being fostered by amazing volunteers across the state of MN. Because of this, we require all meet and greets to be scheduled after an application is submitted.

Our focus after you apply is to get you scheduled to meet the dog within 3 to 7 days.

More about this rescue

Our Vision is to be a voice for those who are voiceless. We hear them with our hearts and give them a voice. Looking into the eyes of a rescued animal will speak volumes; watching those eyes light up will have an everlasting impact on you and the rescued animals.

We aren’t a typical rescue as we don’t take in dogs and put them in kennels until they’re adopted. All dogs we rescue are placed in loving foster homes that teach them to be the best dog they can be.

Our journey doesn’t end with adoption, either. We are here for you to support you in integrating your new member into your home, cheer new triumphs, and help with struggles.
