My personality

My story

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

Hi, I’m Aspen! I'm a boy with a gentle spirit and a big heart that’s on the hunt for a family to share it with. Whether you're looking for a playful companion or a snuggle bug, I'm your guy! I am a world-class couch cuddler and a big fan of toys. I love collecting them all in my bed in case I want to come back to them later! Some of my favorite things include eating yummy treats, running around outside, and playing with other dogs. I would love to have a friendly dog in my forever home to learn the ropes from. I'm pretty shy in new environments, but with a handful of treats and a little bit of patience, my hesitant exterior melts away. I love my people deeply and show it in the form of kisses, cuddles, and happy wiggle butts.

I’m doing great with house training when kept on a schedule (I rarely have an accident in the house!). I love my kennel and stay in it at night and when my foster parents aren’t home. I haven’t been around cats and have had limited interactions with kids. I would probably do best in a home with older children as I can get spooked by loud noises and sudden movements.

I’m learning and growing everyday, and ready to find my forever family! Could that be you?

Aspen is estimated to be 6.5 months old and 28 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!

Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/
You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance. We hope to see you at an upcoming Meet & Greet!

Saturday, January 24, 12:00-2:00pm, Big Wood Brewery, 3429 Centerville Road, Vadnais Heights, MN https://www.facebook.com/events/841935055056592

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We only adopt out animals to homes within 60 miles of the Twin Cities. Our adoption process begins with the return of our pre-adoption form, available on our website. After reviewing your application a meeting is scheduled between you and the pup, sometimes in the fosters home or at a neutral dog friendly place. If any resident dogs are in your home, it is recommended that the pups meet at this time. After the meeting a home visit is scheduled and if everything goes well with the visit the adoption is finalized at that time. A home visit by one of Safe Hands representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pup will be living sometime during the adoption process.

Go meet their pets

Come on out and meet all of our great adoptable pups!! On weekends we have meetings at random locations. See our events page on our website or social media.

More about this rescue

Safe Hands is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters. Of great importance to us is to reduce the stray population and need for healthy animal euthanasia through spay/neuter programs, education, and promotion of respect for the furry creatures that share our lives.

We are a small, no-kill, volunteer run organization. All of our dogs listed are in foster homes waiting to be adopted and because of this, we get to know the dogs' personalities very well and use this information to match them to an appropriate home. We do not have a physical shelter.

This rescue is not funded by public funds nor does it receive many donations so it is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. We have a great need for foster homes. If you are interested in providing foster care, and live within an hour of the Twin Cities, please e-mail us
Donations ALWAYS needed are: dog crates, puppy pee pads, natures miracle (for pet stain removal), Nutrisource brand puppy and dog food, Lysol disinfecting wipes, paper towels, large clean towels, dog toys, leashes, collars and gas cards to help with our transports.
