Story
Dear Future Family,My name is Monroe!! If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal best friend, I just might be your guy. I’m an 80-pound sweetheart from Alabama with a soft heart and an even softer spot for snuggles.My favorite things in life are pretty simple: curling up on the couch with my humans, snuggling in bed, belly scratches in the morning, car rides, ground chicken (seriously… the way to my heart), and hearing that I’m a “good boy.” I love other dogs, and more than anything, I love simply being with my people. Wherever you go, I’ll happily follow — my foster mom says I’m her shadow.I’m a calm, low-key kind of guy. I’m not looking to run marathons — I’d much rather spend the day snoozing nearby while you work, relaxing on the couch, or keeping you company around the house. When my humans come home from work, it’s truly the best part of my day!!I’m fully house-trained and very well-behaved in the home. At night, I sleep nicely in my crate with no issues as long as I can see my humans nearby. But if you let me, I’d be very happy snuggling up in bed with you instead — that’s kind of my dream!One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I actually do much better left out when you’re away instead of being crated. Give me a comfy couch, turn on some cartoons, and I’ll happily nap the day away until you come home.I can be shy and fearful with strangers, especially men, and I do best with slow introductions and patient people who understand that trust takes time for me. Right now, I’m learning that not all strangers are scary, that my humans always come back, and that men can be safe too. Once I feel secure, though, my sweet personality shines through beautifully.At the end of the day, I’m really just a loving boy who wants to feel safe, spend time with his people, and stay close to the ones he loves. I’m easy to please — all I really want is kindness, patience, a cozy place to nap, and someone to love.If you’re willing to go slow with me at first, I promise I’ll give you the most loyal heart in return.Love,Monroe--------------------------------------------"Summer Lovin' Promo" For applications received now through 07/31/2026, Warrior Dog Rescue is reducing the adoption fee of all pups. This is reflected in the adoption fee shown below.Monroe was heartworm positive and has completed his treatment. He received a preliminary negative result on a microfilaria test but is awaiting a negative test result to a heartworm test 9 months after treatment per our vets recommendations. He no longer needs to be on exercise restrictions. Monroe will need continued use of monthly heartworm prevention. These medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter.All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Story
About Me Meet Sammy, a distinguished senior gentleman with a heart for routine and a growing love for human companionship. At 8+ years old, Sammy has settled beautifully into foster care and continues to show everyone just how sweet and loving he can be. While Sammy appreciates structure and predictability, he's also become quite the affectionate companion. He loves being near his people and is constantly seeking out attention, pets, and companionship from both family members and visitors. Once you've earned his trust, expect plenty of head butts, loyal companionship, and a furry shadow following you from room to room. Sammy thrives on daily walks and enjoys getting out to explore his neighborhood. He's become an excellent leash walker and is especially comfortable walking alongside a stroller. While he can still be selective about some dogs, he's grown much more relaxed and less reactive when encountering dogs outside the home. One of the biggest surprises in foster care has been how well Sammy does with respectful children. During a recent visit, he quickly bonded with his foster's 5-year-old nephew and even chose to snuggle up and sleep beside him—something he still won't do with the adults in the home! Sammy would likely do very well with dog-savvy children who understand how to respect a dog's boundaries. Sammy is also feline-friendly and does well with cats. He gets along with small dogs and enjoys lounging alongside the resident pets. While he's generally friendly, he can be selective with men and benefits from slow, patient introductions. Women and children, however, tend to win him over quickly. He's a meticulous self-groomer but appreciates help with brushing, especially along his back. Sammy can be a bit picky about food, though he'll never turn down a good beef gullet stick. Toys are still somewhat of a mystery to him, but he's perfectly content relaxing on the deck, enjoying a walk, or simply spending time with his people. Sammy is looking for a home that will appreciate his gentle nature, respect his routine, and give him the love and companionship he has so much to offer. If you're searching for a loyal best friend who will quietly become the center of your world, Sammy may be the perfect match. Apply today to meet Sammy and see if you're the person he's been waiting for. ---------- WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.  Foster Home Pets: Meet & greets are scheduled after an approved adoption application Cats at The PURRfect Match Adoption Center (Andover, MN): Some cats may be available to meet during open hours Please visit our website for the most accurate information on this pet and next steps.
