Hello there! My name is Pop and I’m ready to make your heart burst! I’m originally from Alabama but that was short lived. Now, I’m a midwest boy looking for my forever family! I’m sweet, silly and will never say no to snuggles. I enjoy toys, zoomies, and of course, naps. I’m known to snore once in a while if I’m really tired, I hope that isn’t a deal breaker! I have a cuddly, gentle side to me, but I can turn into a silly little goofball ready to play. I’m super curious about my surroundings and I know there’s a big world out there, so I can’t wait to explore with my family. If you really want to make your way to being my favorite person, treats are the way to my heart. If you’re looking for the perfect partner for all of life's adventures, I’m the one for you! --------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption. Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.Adoption Fee - $500To apply for this pup, please submit an Adoption Application at http://warriordogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/

Hi everyone! My name’s Franklin and I’m searching for my perfect family! I’m a happy-go-lucky boy with a big heart, playful energy, and plenty of love to share. I’m what you’d call the full package — sweet, fun, and loving. I’m sweet, loyal, and always ready to please. I always love making new friends, whether they’ve got two legs or four. My favorite things are belly rubs, cuddles and playtime. Playtime is the best, especially when there are toys involved! When I’m done having fun, you can find me in the coziest spot for a nap. Or your lap if you’ll let me! If you’re looking for a great companion to make your days brighter, I’m your guy!--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

🐾 Meet Mosey 💖 📍 Age: 10 months ⚖️ Weight: 12 lbs 🐾 Breed: Cocker Spanier 🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes - requires a canine companion 🐱 Cat Friendly: Unknown 👶 Kid Friendly: Yes 🚽 Potty Trained: Yes, good on a schedule 🏠 Crate Trained: Yes, does well in the crate when left alone 🌳 Fenced Yard: Yes, physical fence required Hi! I’m Mosey — the sweetest, most gentle cocker spaniel you’ll ever meet, and I can’t wait to find my forever family. I’m still a puppy and very curious about new sounds and spaces. I perk right up around other dogs and would do great in a home that already has one. I love being outside — whether it’s long walks or running around in a fenced backyard — and I’m always excited to meet new furry friends. I’m still learning, and it may take me a few days to feel comfortable in a new environment. Once I do, you’ll find I adore cuddles, belly rubs, cozy blankets, and relaxing on the couch. When it’s playtime, I happily search for my balls, squeaky toys, or a good bully stick. I thrive on routine and do very well with a regular schedule. I go outside to potty about four times a day (morning, early afternoon, dinner, and bedtime). I sleep in my crate at night and when my humans are away. I eat twice a day and always appreciate a snack after being outside. I’m so excited to meet my new family and can’t wait to bring joy, love, and plenty of tail wags into your home. I’m easygoing and looking for a cozy, welcoming, and fun environment where I can continue to learn, grow, and love my people. ♥️ 💵 Adoption Fee: $695

Story
Location: St Paul, MN Sonora is a sweet little girl. She came into rescue very young, alone, with parvo and mange. She has done fantastic since coming to her foster home, never truly acting sick at all. She truly is a lovey little cuddle bug and really prefers to be right next to her people. While being so young and recovering, she is not fully potty trained. She does use the potty pads though almost 100% if they are laid out for her to use. She also knows to go potty when she does run outside with her two foster dog brothers. She also knows how to sit and come when called. Sonora doesn’t love being in the crate as she loves to snuggle, but she will eventually settle and sleep in there no problem. She also sleeps through the night. She loves playing with dogs and kids alike and makes a lot of grunting and high pitched growls. She is so fun to have around the house, she will make a great addition to any home. --------------- 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), FIV/FeLV test (cats), 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.

Story
Junior and Honey are a bonded pair of almost 2 year old Labradoodles, and they truly do everything together. These two are inseparable and happiest when they are piled up on top of their favorite person, soaking up all the love they can get. They adore cooler weather and enjoy going for walks, where they walk nicely and listen well. They handle grooming like champs and are easygoing during brushing and handling. Junior and Honey get along wonderfully with other dogs, kids, and even cats, making them a great fit for a variety of homes. At the dog park, you are more likely to find them sitting sweetly on a stranger’s lap than roughhousing with other dogs. People are their favorite thing, and affection is their love language. They are gentle, social, and incredibly loving, with hearts that are just as big as their curls. Junior and Honey are looking for a home that understands their bond and is ready to welcome double the love, cuddles, and companionship. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org
