Story

Our sweet 12-year-old beagle is still on the hunt for her forever home — preferably one with fewer roommates than our current situation (six dogs is apparently too many to be the center of attention). She’s an easy keeper who runs on love, snacks, and proximity to humans. Bedtime is her favorite sport — she will happily curl up next to you and sleep straight through the night… unless she decides she’s not getting her way, in which case you’ll hear her signature “tiny whine of injustice.” Cute at noon, slightly less magical at 2 a.m. When she gets the zoomies, you’ll be treated to full-volume hound commentary. Otherwise, she’s pretty quiet and saves her voice for special occasions only. Mostly, she’s just the sweetest, snuggliest girl who wants nothing more than to be your shadow and soak up all the love she can get. Honestly? She’s a 10/10 good girl who deserves to be someone’s whole world. Photo background is AI generated

Molly is an 8-year-old, 65-pound Rottweiler mix with a friendly, playful personality and a big heart. She loves being close to her people, chewing on Nylabones, and relaxing in a fenced backyard. She's house-trained, leash-trained, knows basic commands, and is fully vaccinated.Molly gets along well with children and other dogs. We haven't had the opportunity to see how she does with cats.She came to us as a temporary foster, but unfortunately her previous owner was unable to take her back, so we're looking for the loving forever home she deserves.Molly would thrive with an active family that will include her in daily life and give her plenty of affection and exercise. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily stay by your side, Molly could be the perfect addition to your family.

Emmett

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, Adult

Austin, MN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Emmett arrived from the city pound on 7/12/2025, making him another long-term resident. He was taken to the pound after being found tied to a table at a local park. He is approximately 3 years old and his genetic makeup is truly a mystery. There could be hound, shepherd, lab, or even herding breeds. Confusing us even more about his breed mix, he also has prominent double dewclaws on his hind feet. He has been vet checked, neutered, and microchipped, and his fee is $150. Emmett is a bit unsure of himself and can be quite shy at first, so he will need plenty of time and patience. He has shown that he has the potential to be a loving, goofy dog. He will need regular exercise and basic training in all areas. However, we think he has the potential to be a fun companion. He does appear to be okay with other dogs. We don't know about cats at all and we're thinking an adult only home would be best. 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.July 16, 2026, 1:57 pm

Rocky

Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult

Austin, MN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rocky arrived at MCHS in September 2025 from the city pound after fulfilling the legal stray hold. We did know that his name was Rocky and that his owners were unable to keep him, which is why he went to the pound. He is an approximately 2 year old pit bull mix, maybe with lab. He's a little shy at first but warms up quickly and is loving and playful. He has been vet checked, neutered, and microchipped and his fee is $150. Rocky is a young dog who has had a little basic training. He needs a home that can provide him with the exercise he requires. He did live with kids in his previous home. We do think he could do okay with a female dog with proper intros. We have no way of knowing about cats. He really is a honey!
