Story
Hi there! I’m Lock, a fun-loving, energetic puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’m still learning the ropes of being the best pup I can be—I’m working on kennel training and getting the hang of potty pads, and I’m already making great progress. I’m also practicing basic skills like “sit” and walking on a leash, and I’m a quick learner! Like most puppies, I get really excited sometimes and might forget my manners (jumping is something I’m still working on!), but with a little patience and consistency, I’ll have it down in no time. I absolutely love to run, play, and enjoy all my toys—it’s kind of my specialty! I do well with kids around age five and up, though I haven’t spent time with younger ones yet. Cats don’t bother me much, but slow, supervised introductions will help me adjust best. Baths aren’t my favorite thing in the world, but if you can help me into the tub, I’ll tolerate it like a champ. I also really like having my own space for meals—it helps me feel relaxed and happy. Since I’m a herding mix (a working breed), I’ve got lots of energy and brains to match! That means I’ll need regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep me from getting bored. Heelers are known for wanting to chase and stay busy, so I’m looking for a home that understands my needs and is ready to keep up with me. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loving pup who’s ready to learn and grow with you, I just might be your perfect match! 🐾 ---- *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue.

Story
Hi, I’m Barrel! If you're looking for a loyal sidekick, professional snuggler, and full-time shadow, I might be your perfect match. My favorite place to be is wherever my humans are, and I’m happiest when I’m included in the action, whether that’s relaxing on the couch, going for a walk, hanging out in the yard, or just following you from room to room. Like many puppies, I can be a little shy when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places, but I’m learning that this big world has lots of fun things to offer. Having confident foster dog siblings has helped me come out of my shell, and I look to them for guidance when I’m unsure. I’m a smart boy who loves treats, which makes training a lot of fun. I’m already doing great with potty training and am continuing to work on kennel training. I also walk nicely on a leash and don’t do much pulling. In my foster home, I live peacefully with cats and mostly prefer to let them do their own thing. When playtime is over, I’m more than happy to help keep your lap warm, shower you with puppy kisses, and remind you what it feels like to have a best friend by your side. As a Border Collie mix, I’ll thrive with regular exercise, mental enrichment, and opportunities to learn new things. With my affectionate nature, eagerness to please, and growing confidence, I’m ready to find a family to call my own. Could that be you? ---- *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

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.

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

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
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.

These pups are in Princeton, Minnesota too!

Hiya, I’m Budd! I’m coming to Minnesota from Texas with a couple of my siblings, and so far everyone has told me I’m a little goofy (in a good way!), especially as I’m still figuring this whole “dog” thing out. I thiiiink I agree? I can be a little shy at first (but I was born on the street, so who can blame me!), but once I warm up, I’m all about having fun, hanging with my people, and making dog friends. I’m a mid energy boi: I’m always down for walks, adventures, or a good play session, and when I know everyone is finally home to play with me… it’s time to paaaaarty! During the day, I’m pretty good at chilling and relaxing nearby (with supervision, I am still a baby after all). Having another dog around in my future home would be a huge bonus for me! I’m still learning the basics like leash walking, crate training, and all the normal puppy stuff, so I’ll need someone patient who can help me keep building confidence and learning the ropes. My foster mom says I’m affectionate, gentle, curious, and am going to be such a good boy when I grow up! Honestly, I really just want a home where I can feel safe, have fun, and be a part of the family, let’s meet! Budd is from Texas. ---- *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

Story
Little Miss Annie is a sweet young pup looking for a patient, loving home where she can build confidence and blossom into an amazing companion. She’s still learning the ropes and would thrive with someone willing to provide consistency, guidance, and encouragement as she masters the basics, including leash walking, crate training, etc. Annie has a moderate energy level: she loves walks, hikes, and playing with other dogs, but she also knows how to settle down and relax afterward. Other dogs help bring out her confidence, so she’d especially love a home with a friendly canine playmate to show her the way. She’s young enough to be shaped into a wonderful dog, and will do so well with someone who will help her feel safe, secure, and loved. If you’re looking for a loyal pup with lots of potential, and maybe a built-in best friend for your current dog, apply to meet Annie today! Annie is from Texas. ---- *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

Meet Senna, a sweet and spirited 4-year-old with the most gorgeous amber eyes who is ready to find her forever home! Senna is housetrained and crate trained, making her transition into a new home a breeze. She loves her daily walks and has a big personality when it comes to the great outdoors — squirrels, rabbits, and fellow four-legged friends never go unnoticed on her adventures! Her enthusiasm for the world around her makes every outing a fun experience, and she would thrive with a family who enjoys getting outside and exploring with her. At home, Senna is as sweet as they come. She absolutely adores her four-legged foster brother and loves having a canine companion to play and hang out with, so a home with another dog could be a wonderful fit for her. While she has plenty of energy for playtime, Senna is a medium-energy pup who knows how to wind down — she is happiest when she can snuggle up close to her favorite people at the end of the day. She's also a champion napper and a wonderful work-from-home companion, always happy to keep you company while you tackle your to-do list. Senna is still growing and learning every day! She's discovering the joy of toys and is working on her fetch game, so she would love a patient and encouraging family to help her blossom. She's mastered some basic commands and would love to continue learning, especially if treats are involved! If you're looking for a loving, adaptable, and fun companion who will bring both cuddles and adventure into your life, Senna just might be your perfect match. Come meet her — we have a feeling it will be love at first sight!
