Story
Snapshot of Gordy: Size? Medium-Large (48 lbs) Activity Level? High -he is a border collie mix, after all! ;) Noise Level? Low Good with Dogs? Yes Good with Cats? Yes Good with Kids? Likely, but no children in foster home. Good with Strangers? Yes Potty Trained? Yes, with appropriate supervision and a schedule. Crate Trained? Yes Shedding? Medium About Gordy: Hi, my name is Gordy! I also respond to Gordo, Gordito, Sir Gordon, and Cheesy Gordita Crunch. I am an adorable border collie/lab mix who wants nothing more than a home to call my own--and, preferably, a ball to call my own as well. I LOVE to chase balls, and if no balls are around, I'll make do with chasing anything you throw for me--stuffies, sticks, ropes... the options are endless. My foster mom says that I'm amazingly well adjusted given my relatively rough history. I was 1 of 16 (!!) dogs rescued from a local home, and I haven't had the best care before now. For example, you might notice that I have a bit of a limp due to a wonky front foot. The vet says that this is likely caused by a ruptured tendon that didn't heal right. Fortunately, it doesn't slow me down at all! I also recently had 8 front teeth removed, including 3 of my canines, which were all fractured, likely from biting at the bars of a crate. Still, nothing can bring down my happy-go-lucky personality (except, of course, when my foster mom puts away my ball for the night). Something else you should know about me is that I tested positive for two tick-borne diseases, Anaplasmosis and Lyme. I received treatment and I don’t have any signs of chronic Lyme infection - which is AMAZING news! I will likely continue to test positive for both of these for the rest of my life due to chronic antibodies. It is possible that I could develop side effects from Lyme later in my life but for now I’m a happy and healthy boy! Here's a bit more from my foster mom: An ideal home for Gordy would be one that can give him lots of mental and physical stimulation. He really enjoys chewing on bones and bully sticks, playing tug with toys, and playing fetch. He's also a smart boy and has picked up on sit, lay down, and crate up very quickly. We're working on some new commands for him to show off! I think he'd do great with someone who enjoys having a dog that can be a companion to them on a variety of adventures! Gordy is fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations for his age. Adoption Fee: $550 + applicable tax MEET ME/ADOPT ME: If you'd like to arrange a meeting or begin the adoption process, please fill out an adoption application by visiting https://www.twincitiespetrescue.org/adopt/ or clicking "adopt me!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thelma might be little, but she’s got big ideas. She’s sweet, gentle, and full of love—but don’t be fooled, she’s also the mastermind behind the great puppy pen escape. Her sister Louise is often left behind wondering what just happened while Thelma trots off, proud and pleased with herself. She and Louise were found dumped in a truck yard, and while we don’t know anything about their life before that, Thelma’s already shown us who she is: smart, playful, and determined. She learns quickly—faster than her sister, actually—and it’s fun to watch her little brain at work. She loves food puzzles (though they don’t last long) and wrestling with her furry friends in the yard. When she gets the zoomies, she’ll happily jump on the bed or couch and boop her favorite human with her nose! Thelma loves being outside with her humans and dog siblings, staying alert to unfamiliar noises and people. She does well on walks with her harness, and while she enjoys being near her people, she also likes her space. She’s shy around new people, needing a little time to warm up, but tasty treats—especially frozen blueberries—go a long way in winning her over. Because she can spook easily, Thelma will need a securely fenced yard or someone willing to keep&#226&#128&#139 her leashed while she outside. For her safety, tie-outs aren’t a good option. She’s best suited for a home with older children who can give her the space she needs as she adjusts, and no shared walls, as she may be vocal when excited or mid-play. Here is a video showing me playing hide and seek with my furry friend.   Thelma is the kind of dog who figures things out fast, loves with her whole heart, and will make her new family feel incredibly lucky to have her. Thelma is from Texas.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own! A Note from the Foster: Meet Owen - a spunky, 10-week-old puppy who is eager to find his forever home. He’s playful, curious and sometimes cautious as he explores his new world, entertains himself with a toy, wrestles with his brother and cuddles with his people. Owen is just getting started with potty training but is catching on. He sleeps in the crate at night and will happily take breaks there during the day. Mealtime is one of his favorite things! His love of food will be a great tool as he starts to work on training and commands. As with all young puppies, Owen will benefit from continued socialization and plenty of positive reinforcement as he grows. He’s a very sweet boy and will make a wonderful companion for a family ready to guide him through puppyhood and beyond!
