Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Quest was surrendered to the shelter on 5/9/2025 due to rental restrictions. He is 5 years old and was a very loved dog who had lived in his home his whole life. His owners were forced to relocate and couldn't find an affordable place that would accept dogs like him. Quest is a mix of boxer, Doberman, and pit bull, and he is big and strong. He has been fully vetted and microchipped. His fee of $150 is fully sponsored. Quest did live with his canine sibling in his home and was fine. They grew up together. We do think that he'd be okay with a mellow female dog of similar size. No smaller animals. He would do best in an adult only home. Teens are okay.  Shelter life has been hard on our Quest and he has lost a significant amount of weight. We've had him completely vet checked and this weight loss is due to the stress of the shelter environment. He would make a very loving and loyal companion. He needs a home! NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 25, 2026, 2:50 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.​Meet Daniela: Future Boss of the House! ​ ​About Daniela ​Daniela is the perfect mix of small size, big heart, and a massive personality. She is charming, sassy, and full of pure wiggle-butt enthusiasm! Daniela is happy and safe in her foster home, but she would honestly prefer not to have to compete the resident dogs for attention anymore. ​Personality & Quirks ​Daniela's presence fills the entire room—and she will absolutely bully you into giving her the attention she deserves! She has an endless supply of love and antics to share, along with a relentless dedication to making sure you don't forget about her. ​The Wiggle-Butt Welcome: Expect a full-body wag every time you walk through the door, or really anytime Daniela hasn't seen you for longer than 10 seconds. Her enthusiasm for her humans is absolutely unmatched! ​Snack Time Focus: When it's snack time, Daniela gives her full attention to a good chew toy or a peanut butter Kong. ​The Sweet Snoozer: Once she has had enough activity and attention, she will snooze and snore anywhere that is cozy. She will gladly go into her kennel, as long as it is comfy and comes with a treat. ​ Training & Home Manners ​Daniela has been working hard on her manners in her foster home. She thrives on routine, positive reinforcement, and structure (mostly to remind her that you actually own the house). Accidents in the house have never been an issue—Daniela is far too much of a Queen to violate that particular code. ​ The Ideal Home ​Daniela would do wonderfully in a home that wants a dog with a big personality to be the absolute center of their world. She’s looking for a family that will continue to guide her with love, keep her active, and doesn't mind being affectionately bullied into on-demand playing and petting. ​Are you ready to welcome this sassy and hilariously demanding girl into your life?Click here to watch a video of Daniela.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 21, 2026, 9:21 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.So much of this handsome boy’s background is unknown. What we do know is that Thanos is a sweet gentle young boxer boy that has great potential as a family dog as he matures. He knows some commands like ‘sit’ and ‘wait’, although the wait doesn’t last very long. We are working on that. He knows the words ‘go potty’ and will head right to the door to go outside. But he doesn’t know to get your attention or give signals right now to let him outside. So if you not watching him after he eats, naps, and sleeps through the night he will have an accident inside.This is compounded by the medications he is on for heart worm treatment. I think he could be trained to ring bells on a door very easily or to a dog door to go back and forth himself. Thanos is very smart and likes to learn new things to please his human. He responds to his name and comes to you when you call him but will need better recall for crazier times. The unknowns are how he will do with small yappy dogs. Thanos has a prey drive for rabbits and squirrels and gets overwhelmed and overstimulated easily. He ignores the large dogs in the neighborhood but does get fixated on the small dog next door. Thanos takes a leash calmly and will sit when you want to put him on leash. He needs additional leash training while on a walk. Everything is so new to him and he is so curious about his surroundings that he will cross back and forth and all around your legs and feet and could be a trip hazard until his human helps him figure out his place and space. He really is not a puller at this time and a treat in your hand keeps him very attentive. Thanos is not much of a jumper. He will put his paws on your legs when you sit down in hopes of being invited up, but he does not do full body jumps up on people. Thanos also does not know what toys are but it will be so much fun to teach him to play and fetch! All in all, Thanos is still a puppy acting younger than 2 years based on his knowledge of the outside world and is eager to have you teach him everything he needs to know to be the perfect family companion.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 21, 2026, 9:21 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. 8/25/2026 Update from foster mom: Ms Sammy or just Sammy is the perfect blend of activity.  She loves playing with toys and chasing the laser pointer or snoozing the day away in her bed. Sammy likes being around people especially the littles ones. She could play with them all day. It’s hard for me to believe this girl is 10. Sammy loves her toys so much she is not the best at sharing them with other dogs. She likes to steal them away but doesn’t appreciate it back. Sammy would do good as an only dog or with a dog that has boundaries.  Sammy doesn’t like to play rough with other dogs. She more the chill type. Sammy likes baths, walks, car rides, and lots of cuddles. Sammy is also very good off leash and follows basic commands.  Ms Sammy is amazing and looking for her amazing family!  ******************************************************************* My name is Miss Sammy. I was a sidekick for a truck driver since I was 6 weeks old. Then I could not easily get in the truck and my dad's new company said I could not ride with him any longer. The transition has been confusing to me after I made a long road trip from Ohio to MN where I met my foster family. I would bark at the door and outside. My foster mom thinks I was hoping my family would hear and find me. But I have lots of love in my heart and have opened it up to my foster family. I follow my foster Mom around like a Velcro dog. My favorite pastime is when the kids play with me. They squeak my toys and crinkle the paper inside. I get so excited when they do this. Sometimes I even bark at them to ask them to play. I have a white face but don't let that fool you. I still have bursts of energy. My foster kiddo discovered I fetch the ball one day. I love to bring it back. But when the foster dog jumped in front of me and grabbed the ball I got pretty upset. He is bigger than me so I feel like I have to let him know who is boss. It would not be a good idea to play fetch with another dog present. I growl at him through the baby gate when we eat our food so I food guard, as well. Otherwise, I am chill around him and we get along. I am 60-65lbs and I look so tiny. But I am pretty solid. I have not asked to jump on the couch, but I did whine a little to get on the bed. However, I am fine sleeping on my dog pillow next to my foster parents' bed. I fuss a little bit when put in the kennel, but then I calm down and nap. I do not pull on a leash. I do bark at other dogs. When I am riding in the car, I bark at anything that moves. My foster mom does not know if I am doing it out of anxiety from the move or if this is typical of me. But I am an all-around great dog. I am trained and my foster mom says I am easy to have around. If you have stairs in your home my foster mom wants you to know I am a little slow going up steps, but the vet did not find arthritis. He did say I need to lose 5lbs, otherwise, I am healthy. He said with my cute personality I will go fast. If you are looking for a pretrained smart, playful, but also calm companion I am the one for you. I will melt your heart with my soulful gaze, when I am trying to tell you something. And I am pretty vocal once I know you.

Story
Wrigley is a lovely girl born in February of 2015 who came to us in late January 2026. She is ready to find a new home and family now. Wrigley is a friendly old gal who is still spry for her age. She keeps a clean kennel. She likes to go outside and watch or be around the other dogs playing, but doesn't have much stamina to keep up if involved in play for too long. She is skilled in communicating her boundaries to the other dogs without being reactive. She has done best with socialized dogs who can understand those communications, but may do well with other too with a proper introduction. We suspect she will also love being a couch pup, watching movies and maybe even sharing in your popcorn. All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.
