Story
Come and meet me at our adoption event at Chuck & Don's, Edina on 12/20 from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm! Age: 1 year Weight: 47 pounds Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Good on a schedule Crate trained: Yes Hi there, it's me, Rubble-on-the-double! My foster mom's granddaughter says I look kind of like Rubble from Paw Patrol so that's how I got my new Minnesota name! Now that I know my new and very cool name, I come when I'm called. Pretty good, huh? I'm so happy to be here in my foster home where it's warm, I have toys, and friends to play with -- but the best thing of all is the people! I love to play inside or outside with the people, sit on the couch with them, or just be by them when they work. When the people are gone I go in my crate. I don't like it at first so I call out to see if they're still home. And after awhile I just take a nap until they get back. I guess I'm still a young guy, a bit puppy like. But I'm just so excited! I am looking for an active family so we can have a lot of fun together! Is that family you? Adoption fee: $425

Story
Hi, my name is Marion and I am from Texas! From her foster: Marion, or Mare as we like to call her is such a smart little girl! This southern beauty is doing so well in the cold/snow, although she also probably wants a sweater from Santa ;-) She's doing fabulous at potty training. She loves to play - chasing her foster brother, Doug and brother, Chi in the backyard and in the house! Loves a good chew toy and bone. She sleeps in the kennel with Chi from 10pm to 7am - amazing. We also kennel her while I'm working 2-4 hour stretches and she's doing great. She loves to be picked up and hugged. She is good with my boys (5 and 8). We have also been free feeding her and she's doing great with food :)

Story
Sugar is a 7 year old Jeju/Jindo/Shepard mix. Super sweet. Likes to be outside and would prefer to have a lot of space to run and explore. She is a very curious active dog. It breaks my heart, but I will be having surgery, and I need to rehome her as soon possible. I can no longer care for her. Please help us find the right home for her. In addition, I have moved to Texas and my son has small children. She has nipped at them. Mostly because the kids don't respect her boundaries. She is ok with other dogs as long as she is not crowded in with them. She would be great with one person who works from home. Or a farm with space to be off leash.

Story
Hi, it’s me—the world’s biggest fan of squeaky toys, cuddles, and ignoring the concept of personal space. If you sit down, just know I’ll be sitting on top of you within seconds, preferably with a toy in my mouth that I’ll squeak right into your ear while declaring my love. I currently share my life with two other dogs, and together we’ve formed a professional-level tug-of-war team, but I’m also down for a good game of chase outside. Speaking of outside, it’s my happy place—I’ll strut on a leash like I own the block or hang out on a tie-out. I’m also a kennel pro. I’ll snooze in there no problem, but between us, I’d rather snuggle in bed with you because cuddles > everything. At mealtimes, I like to think of myself as a food enthusiast—okay fine, a food hog—but my foster mom promises me I’ll never have to compete again, so I’m practicing my manners. I enjoy staring dramatically out the window, plotting how to catch squirrels and rabbits (spoiler: they’re winning). I’ve got plenty of energy, but once I wear myself out, I turn into a certified cuddle bug. So—what do you say? Want to adopt a toy-obsessed, cuddle-demanding, squirrel-watching sidekick who will keep life fun, funny, and full of squeaks?   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, dental, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $450.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2025, 10:19 pm
