My story

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

🐰 Meet Honey Bunny (aka Bunny)!

A sweet, spirited 2-year-old mix with a heart full of joy and the cutest little folding ears you’ve ever seen.

Bunny came to Minnesota all the way from Oklahoma, where she spent plenty of time socializing with other dogs. She has adjusted beautifully to her new environment and quickly made herself at home. One thing her foster mom has learned? This girl LOVES to play. Bunny’s favorite game is fetch—she’s still mastering the “wait,” but she will proudly bring that ball right back every single time, ears bouncing and tail wagging.

🏡 In the Home

Bunny is a crate-training superstar—quiet, content, and always excited for ear rubs once she hears the “kennel” command. Treats may be involved… but can you blame anyone? She takes them so gently and is just too adorable to resist.

She’s still figuring out “sit,” but she is potty trained and doing well with leash walking as she continues practicing her etiquette. Bunny is a smart little half-pint who enjoys hand feeding and doesn’t mind if her foster mom takes a toy away when needed.

🐶 With Other Dogs

Bunny has great social experience but does have a couple preferences:

She isn’t too sure about eating meals right next to another dog.

When she gets overly tired, she sometimes prefers not to share her toys—totally understandable!

With structure and continued guidance, she’s learning good boundaries and adapting well.

💛 Personality

Bunny is a total delight—playful, loving, energetic, and full of charming quirks (including the cutest little snorts). She loves hard, plays hard, and snuggles even harder.

🏠 Ready for Her Forever Home

If you're searching for a sweet, lively snuggle bug who will brighten your days and fill your home with happiness, Bunny is your girl. She's ready to hop right into the next chapter of her life—with you.

Bunny's adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers her spay, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care she may have needed while in the rescue’s care.
We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.northernlakesrescue.org

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.
