Story

Update 7.8.26 Hello MNBR Fans, my name is Zarek pronounced like Derek with a Z. I am fairly new to rescue. I have a foster brother and would love a home with a furry friend or a family who would take me to the dog park or doggy daycare because I have lots of energy. I am pretty good on a leash so I might make an awesome running/walking/hiking partner. My foster mom says it is like having a toddler in the house, as I am still learning what I can and cannot have, but I am a quick learner. I love to play tug-a-war and think everything is a tug toy. I also like playing fetch and know the release word is “mine.” I have a passion for water and would not mind a waterfront view!! I like helping out and supervising home renovation projects. I know how to work a hammer or at least I like to think that I do. Can’t wait to introduce myself to you!

Story

2.12.26 PUPDATE (written by current foster) Millie is a 6 1/2 year old boxer lab mix with a full tail. She came from a family life and had lived indoors. She likes attention and neck scratches. She may have a torn ACL on her back right leg but has been using it a little with pain medication in place. She has a sweet personality and could be a great only dog. With our boxer, Ester, she likes following Ester’s lead but needed a couple of gentle reminders of her place in the pack. She does well with the commands sit and come when food is involved. . We have tried out a couple of different leashes on her and she stays close on yard walks. We haven’t tried any actual walks around the block due to her leg. She will need rehab for her leg withborc without surgery. We're waiting to hear back fromthe surgeon on her options. INTAKE 1.26.26 (written by previous owner) This is Miss Millie. A 6 1/2 year old Boxer, Lab mixed breed that was born on June 5, 2019. She is a very shy girl who takes a couple of visits to warm up to new people in places but she is super sweet and loves attention. She has always done well with other animals and children. Millie is not aggressive but tends to get very excited and a little jealous, letting you know vocally by crying and whining that she sees others getting the attention that she wants. She is also a bit protective over her food dish. Overall, Millie is a very good girl who just needs some extra love and care due to an injury of a major tendon in her back leg. She had always lived in a home with a fenced in yard so had not had much exposure to being on a leash or outside of her own territory, making her leash skills and listening to command skills not very good but she is super smart so could learn these skills easily. We just hope Millie finds the right home that can take care of her like she deserves.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 14, 2026, 3:51 pm

Story

COMING SOON TO RESCUE: Primrose says this about her...... How can I Summarize Primrose in such a small space? There are so many things to say because she is just the best girl! Let me start at the beginning and you can get to know her through my eyes and heart. Prim came from not the best situation with a breeder. She never learned to be a dog or to feel love. When she came to us she was absolutely terrified of the entire world around her including us. To the point she had to be picked up and carried outside. , She quickly grew to trust myself(Mom) and my 10 year old daughter but it took several months for her to even acknowledge the adult male in the household without complete fear and wanting to run and hide. Because of her previous home life and myself being in a wheelchair she is not housebroken. Given the time though she will get it and will be someone's or some families bestie! About 9 months later you would almost not know she came to us that way! Prim is all about her people and if they are doing it that's what she wants to be doing also! She has more of a couch potato personality but does have her moments where she loves to play. Especially when we come home she gets excited and likes when you stomp your feet and she will pounce down and zoom around. She is hilarious when you give her cherry tomatoes ( if she can get close enough to the vine she will steal them ) she plays with them like a ball before she eats them. She LOVES children and her favorite thing to do is pick up 'her girl' from school and see all the kids. If you sit facing her on a bed or couch and ask her for 'huggies' she will let you hug on her and put her chin on your shoulder. Rub her ears while she's there and she might just stay there forever. Primmy is very quiet and you won't hear her make noise or bark unless she thinks she's alone or she's playing. She likes to dance and hug around your waist if her mood is right. She has the biggest underbite and her top lip gets tucked sometimes and she just looks at you with her 'teef' lol. She is used to being put in outfits and doesn't really make a fuss about them and she looks pretty great in tutus! I could probably go on forever about all her great things and little quirks but the bottom line is if someone has the patience to help her with potty training she is going to be the most loving and loyal best friend to the luckiest person!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 14, 2026, 3:51 pm

Drax

Boxer

Story

Pupdate 7.19.26 Meet Drax! Drax is a big, brindle Boxer boy with snazzy white boots, a handsome mask, and 85–90 pounds of pure charm. At 7 years old, he has the perfect mix of playful goofball and loyal sidekick. Whether you're working at your desk, relaxing inside, or spending the day outside gardening, Drax is happiest simply being near his people. This handsome guy is sweet, smart, and very people-oriented. He knows several cues, including sit, wait, kennel, and sometimes lay down, and he takes treats gently. He's also 100% house trained and does well having free run of the house. At night, he sleeps in his crate in the bedroom—ideally with the door open so he can choose his cozy spot. Drax currently lives in a foster home with another dog and a cat. He gets along well with the dog, though his play style can be big and enthusiastic. Cats are a little too interesting for him, and while he can be redirected, he would likely do best in a cat-free home. Because he is large, strong, and still learning not to jump or "box" when excited, he'll need a family that can help him continue polishing his manners. When meeting new people or dogs, Drax comes in with a lot of Boxer enthusiasm—barking, jumping, mouthing, and trying to play before everyone is ready. Slow, thoughtful introductions are important for this lovable guy. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet, silly, affectionate personality shines through. Drax is not a big toy guy, but he loves chewy treasures like filled bones and cow hooves. He also loves food and eats with typical Boxer gusto, so a slow feeder may be a great way to keep him busy. He still tends to guzzle water, which means he appreciates frequent potty breaks during the day. Because Drax is very big and strong, he'll do best with an adopter who has Boxer or large-breed experience and is comfortable using tools like a harness and martingale collar for safe walks. He can be crated for short periods when his people leave, especially if another dog is nearby, but more than anything, Drax wants to be part of the family. If you're looking for a loyal shadow, goofy garden buddy, office nap companion, and full-time best friend, Drax may be your guy. He's handsome, loving, smart, and ready to find the people he never has to be away from again. PUPDATE 3.22.26 PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES: I'm a 7-year-old male with a black and gold brindle coat, topped off with snazzy white boots, a chest, and a dashing mask tipping the scales at 85-90 pounds of pure charm. I was a bit weak in the back end coming into rescue but now I'm almost superhero strong! Oh, and did I mention that I'm a stunner! TEMPERAMENT: Got a playful spirit? Me too! I’m a bundle of joy with a sweet nature and a brain that soaks up new tricks faster than a sponge. Sometimes, I opt for my crate for a snooze. I'm pretty clever, I bag of tricks includes, "sit", "wait", "kennel", and occasionally "lay". I’m a gentle treat taker and playtime with pals is my jam. No need to worry about me being possessive; I’m as chill as they come with space, toys, food, and water. Plus, I stroll like a pro without tugging on the leash! QUIRKS I’M POLISHING: New places can make me jittery, so I need a couple of days to get my groove on. Initially, I might pant like a marathoner, leading to a water guzzle and, well, frequent bathroom breaks. But once I’m comfy, all that disappears. I'm also learning to keep all four paws on the ground, and my foster bro is teaching me the art of toy play. NEW TO RESCUE: Simplest way to describe me is like Rainman..... so smart, yet a few cards shy of a full deck. I'm playful, happy, calm, fun, and easy to train. If you want to play (tag and boxing my humans are fave games), I'll play. If you want to relax, I'll relax. I like kids, dogs and birds. I'm excellent on leash when it's just us, but get overly excited when I see others and will pull. I'm housetrained, but do occasionally have an accident as I'm water obsessed. I'm from a boxer breeder, I just have wonky ears...I swear I'm full Boxer! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 14, 2026, 3:51 pm

Story

Sasha is an absolute sweetheart and a joy to have around. At about 1-1 1/2 years old, this boxer-hound mix has all the best traits of a young, active pup: she's playful, curious, and always ready for her next adventure. She adores people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, large and small, bringing a friendly, tail-wagging, butt-wiggling energy wherever she goes. Sasha is also impressively quick to learn and eager to please, which makes training both fun and rewarding. She's currently working on her house-training skills. She isn't crate-trained at this time because her foster works from home, but with her intelligence and willingness to learn, she has great potential with patient guidance and consistency. She thrives on outdoor time--running around the yard, going to the dog park, or simply sniffing the plants, she's happiest when she gets to enjoy the world around her. While Sasha enjoys playing with other dogs, she's likely to flourish best as the only pup in her new home, where she can get all the attention, structure, and affection she deserves. Anyone looking for an active, loving, and loyal companion will find a truly wonderful friend in Sasha! Sasha is estimated to be 1 year old and 40 lbs. Since we dont know the dogs actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

Story

We have a beautiful 2 year old pitbull mix that needs a new home. She will do best as an only dog with someone willing to train her. She is very sweet, but gets jealous of our other dogs and has started a couple of fights with one of the other dogs. Her name is Penny. We adopted her from the humane society when she was 10 months old. She still isn't fully house trained, and needs to learn how to walk on a leash. She knows the commands: wait, come, down, off, and leave it. Proof she can learn. She is the sweetest girl and will love her person with her whole heart. She would love to be spoiled. She has lived in a home with 2 cats. One tolerates her and she goes after the more timid one. If your kitty can stand their ground, she learns to respect quick after a swat to the face. Thank you for reading.
