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

Story
Mira is a pretty little hound mix that was left behind when her owner moved away. Mira doesn't like other dogs very much, so would be happiest in a home where she could be the only pet. She loves people and is very sweet. She is only about 35 lbs - so she would be a good fit for any living situation. 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.

Story
Hey there — I'm Domino, a striking yellow Lab with energy to spare! I'm a smart, playful guy who weighs in at a solid 75 pounds, already neutered and ready for action. I'd do best in a home without cats or small kids, but I'm the kind of energetic companion who thrives on activity and engagement with my people. I'm waiting to meet the active family that can keep up with me — let's go on adventures together!

Story
Nova is a very sweet 4 year old Anatolian Shepherd who loves to be outdoors and watch what is going on around the house. She does have some anxiety with loud noises and is a little nervous with first meeting people but will warm up to them with a little time. She seems to gravitate towards men and gets a long really well with them. Nova seems to get a long with other dogs and children but it’s unknown how she will do with cats. Looking for a good and loving home for her that offers patience and understanding of her anxious breed.
