Story
If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.org. Roscoe is a senior sweetheart with the softest spirit and the happiest smile. He loves being around his people and the resident dog, and he’ll quietly follow you from room to room just to be part of the moment. Snuggles are his love language, and he’ll melt right into you for as long as you’ll let him. He enjoys short walks, a little playtime outside, and absolutely lives for car rides — especially when they end with a Caribou pup cup. He smiles the whole way home like he knows he just had the best treat in the world. At home, Roscoe sleeps peacefully on a dog bed in his foster mom’s room. He rarely barks (only if the resident dog starts the conversation), but he loves to “talk” to you when you come home — a happy, wiggly welcome committee who’s been watching out the window waiting for you. He’s easygoing, gentle, and wonderful with people of all ages. He doesn’t mind cats, loves other dogs, and has a calm, steady presence that makes him feel like an old friend from the moment you meet him. Roscoe’s back legs are a bit weaker these days, so he sometimes needs help with stairs and getting into or out of the car. He takes it all in stride with that same sweet, grateful energy he brings to everything. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to love you, watch over you, and enjoy life’s simple joys by your side, Roscoe is your guy. He’s a happy, gentle soul ready to spend his golden years with someone who sees how special he is. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.   The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online forms here as well.  ##2665343##

Story
Location: Mankato, MN Lasso is a shy dog that has so much potential. He’s incredibly sweet, loves to be pet. He’s very anxious and does WAY better with other dogs in the house, to build his confidence. His current foster home has children (4 & 7 years old), but he would probably appreciate a quieter home with older kids. He doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body, but the loud sudden noises make him hide in his crate. He comes out of his shell more once the kiddos are in school 😅 His ideal home would have other dogs, and a family with patience to celebrate all his little milestones. He’s such a sweet dog that just wants to feel safe. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org). Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs over 9 months), FIV/FeLV test (cats - one in the litter), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration). Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.

Story
Age: 6/29/2025 Weight: ~40 lbs Dog friendly: Yes (may benefit from another dog in home) Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Meet Nesta! Nesta is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being close to her people. She’s gentle with kids, eager to please, and a quick learner who enjoys training, treats, and enrichment. Once she bonds with you, she’s a loyal little shadow who just wants to be part of your world. Nesta is also a sensitive and observant pup who is still learning to feel confident in the outside world. Busy or unpredictable environments can feel overwhelming for her right now, so she does best with calm, patient guidance and a structured approach. She’s not quite a “take everywhere” dog yet, but she has so much potential with the right support. At home, Nesta is a wonderful companion who enjoys relaxing near her people and settling in her crate when she needs a break which still needs some encouragement sometimes. She does well with visitors and other dogs after a warm-up period and may especially benefit from a confident, well-balanced dog in the home to help her feel more secure. Nesta is looking for a home that can provide a calm, consistent environment and is excited to continue helping her build confidence at her own pace. With time, patience, and love, she will grow into a deeply loyal and rewarding companion. Adoption fee: $250

Story
Tamagochi is a sweet, playful, and affectionate dog who loves being around people. He has a gentle personality and gets along wonderfully with children, other dogs, and cats. He enjoys playing, receiving attention, and spending time with his family, but he also loves relaxing and cuddling after a fun day. Tamagochi has been a beloved member of our family and has a friendly, loving temperament that makes him a great companion for households with kids and other pets. He is social, well-mannered, and always eager to make new friends. The only reason we are looking to rehome Tamagochi is that our daughter has developed allergies, making it difficult for us to continue providing him with the home he deserves. This decision has not been made lightly, and we are committed to finding him a loving family where he can continue to thrive. We are looking for a caring home that will give Tamagochi the love, attention, and companionship he deserves. He will make a wonderful addition to the right fam

Story
Meet Jack, a young hearted 7-year-old, 45# Border Collie with the perfect blend of adventure buddy and cuddle companion wrapped in a lovable, fluffy package. He is a mature guy who has figured out the balance between having fun and time to relax. His foster family describes him as responsible, charismatic, loving, and endlessly positive: the kind of dog who wants to make his people smile. He’s a doof! Jack lives to be outside. The woods are his happy place, whether he’s romping with canine friends, stretching his legs on a run, or keeping an eye on squirrels to ensure they stay in their trees. If you love hiking, jogging or exploring trails, Jack will happily be your loyal sidekick. He’s also fantastic in the car and thinks road trips are one of life’s greatest joys. Despite his love for activity, Jack is not a high-maintenance, nonstop-energy dog. He’s solidly medium energy and settles beautifully after exercise. In the evenings, his favorite place is curled up beside - or preferably on - his humans. He is a devoted lap dog and cuddle expert. Jack is wonderfully experienced in the world. He has lived with children, gets along great with other dogs, and even shares his home with three cats. He walks nicely on a gentle leader and can be trusted loose in the house. He is well-behaved, and he doesn’t chase cars, lunge at people, or react to animals. All he wants is engagement with his special person or family. The ideal home for Jack has Border Collie experience and understands smart dogs. They are fully engaged with their pups and will provide physical and mental activities to keep him happy. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast and love smart dogs who are more person than they are canine, Jack is your guy! APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Jack is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN. His adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. The cost of this procedure is included in his adoption fee. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit. Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Story
Finch is one very special boy. This cheerful 5-month-old, 21# Border Collie is equal parts thoughtful companion, eager student, and playful puppy. He is as loyal as they come and wants to form a special connection and make his people smile every day. Finch likes to think things through before diving in. New experiences don’t scare him; he prefers to sit back, observe, and process the world at his own pace. Once comfortable, his happy personality shines brightly. At home, he greets visitors enthusiastically and loves being close to his humans. Like any good Border Collie, Finch loves learning. It’s a pleasure to watch him figure things out on his own. Tug is a favorite game, and he retrieves like a pro. He can turn just about anything into a toy and always ready for a little fun. After exercise or playtime, he settles beautifully… now it’s time to cuddle! His energy level is nicely balanced – he is active and engaged without being overwhelming. Finch is mastering house training and gives clear signals when he needs to go outside. He needs potty breaks every few hours. He sleeps through the night in his crate and happily runs to it when asked: it’s his cozy, safe space. He’s also doing “Fintastic” on leash! He wants to take his people to obedience classes and hopes they bring good treats! His ideal family will be patient, active, and understanding of his thoughtful nature. Strong preference for families with Border Collie experience and a friendly, confident canine sibling in the home to guide him and boost his confidence. Older, respectful kids would suit him best, while chaotic or pushy environments would not. Finch is an incredibly lifelong companion in the making. Are you the lucky one to add him to your family? APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Finch is being fostered in Baxter, MN. Finch's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax (this includes his neuter). He is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He will be neutered and microchipped at the age of roughly 6 months. The cost of this procedure is included in his adoption fee. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
