Story
Meet Lund, the chillest gentleman from the "Boat Litter"! ⛵🐶 If you're looking for a sweet, highly intelligent pup with a gentle soul, Mr. Lund might just be your perfect match. With his sleek coat and handsome white markings, this Border Collie, Lab(?), and German Shorthair Pointer(?) mix is as smart as he is adorable. The Lund Lowdown Crate Superstar & Bedtime Routine: Lund is fully crate trained, going in happily and sleeping soundly through the night. True to puppy nature, he gets a quick burst of "puppy crazy" energy right before bed, but settles right down once it's time to sleep! 💤 House Training: Fully house trained when kept on a consistent schedule! Brainy & Playful: Lund is a very smart boy with a lovely, relaxed disposition. He has a cool, calm baseline, but loves to play and is constantly leaning in for snuggles as he builds a bond. Kids & Redirection: Because he’s a clever pup who is still learning his mouth manners and can occasionally get a little bitey, he’ll do best in a home with older kids who can confidently redirect his puppy mouthiness. Dog & Cat Status: Lund lives with a dog and loves having a canine companion. He hasn't met any kitties yet! Is Lund the one for you? Whether he’s showing off his smarts, enjoying a play session, or lounging at your feet, Lund is ready to bring a whole lot of love to his forever home! A puppy adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he 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.

Story
Sweet young momma Rheanyra was rescued from another shelter. She and her beautiful 8 puppies are currently in foster. They are thriving, away from the noise of shelters, privacy for momma to care for her little ones🥰 Rheanyra became a mom at young age, she is 10 months old, no fault of her own. She shouldn't have become a mom, instead she should have been in a loving home, playing and enjoying her life. Instead she is caring for 8 little souls, ones who depend on her and depend on a foster. Thanks to one of our fosters, Rheanyra and her 8 little ones are safe, and well cared for. Rheanyra is very sweet, she will instantly melt your heart 💜. She loves to be petted and she walks great on leash. When her puppies soon find homes, Rheanyra would love to find a loving a home, a place where her loving personality can grow into wonderful young dog who will have many adventures🏞️

Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
Meet Sky, a sweet Pointer/Heeler mix who is approximately 1 year old and eagerly looking for her forever home. Sky is an absolute sweetheart who thrives on indoor life, loving nothing more than snuggling up, finding cozy spaces with blankets, and staying close to her humans. She is wonderful with kids, completely adores the teenagers in her foster home, and especially loves her stuffies, treating them with incredible gentleness. In the home, she is quiet, well-behaved, house-trained, does fairly well in a crate, and walks nicely on a leash once she settles into her routine. While she can occasionally be a bit jumpy around sudden noises or unfamiliar surroundings, Sky is learning that she is safe and continues to blossom with a little consistency, reassurance, and ideally a secure fenced yard. During her intake, she showed off her curious and friendly nature when she was loose—her happy, relaxed body language made it clear she was eager to trot over and say hello to a couple of puppies she spotted, and she will be getting more formally dog-tested soon. Sky is making great progress on her medical care: she is microchipped, partially up to date on her vaccines, and getting scheduled for her spay appointment. She did test positive for Lyme, which is very manageable—yearly bloodwork checks levels to determine whether it remained dormant or simply needs a quick course of routine medication. Sky has shown every sign of being a gentle, affectionate, and social companion. She is so ready to bring endless love and snuggles to a patient family who will give her the wonderful life she deserves. Sky'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.
