Story
About Me Hi! I’m Sammy, and I’m so excited to be part of The Rescue Crew with my siblings! I’m a super smart, fun, playful pup who loves EVERYONE I meet! I’m great with other dogs, and I especially love zooming around and playing with my brother, Scooter. I’m still trying to figure out this creature my foster Mom calls a “cat.” He’s kind of weird and doesn’t seem to understand that I really want to play with him! I’m doing well with my potty training and am crate trained, too. When I find my forever family, it will be my first time away from my brother and siblings, so I may be a little sad at first. I might even have a few accidents while I adjust. My forever family will need to be patient and understanding as I get used to my new home and routine. There were eight of us in our litter, although two of my siblings were adopted before coming to the rescue. I would love a family that is active and wants to include me in as many adventures and activities as possible! A fenced-in yard would be amazing so I can zoom, play, and burn off some of my puppy energy, but it isn’t required. I’m not much of a barker right now, although that could change once I’m no longer surrounded by my siblings, so my rescue family wants to make sure my potential adopters know that ahead of time. I’m really the bestest boy and I can’t wait to find the most amazing family to call my own.

Story
Birdie is a 4-year-old Olde English Bulldogge with a loving, friendly personality. She truly loves everyone she meets and gets along great with other dogs. She’s curious, engaged, and always interested in what’s going on around her.She enjoys chewing on bones, squeaky toys, and even a good stick from the yard. While she’s not currently into playing fetch, she’s very food-motivated and eager to learn—so she has greatpotential for training and new gamesI do love her very much! I feel to be fair to her she needs a more active environment than I can give her living in an apartment. She would benefit from a home where she has room to run, play and interact with others be it dogs or people. She does great at the off-leash dog park we go to in Ramsey. Currently she is in a kennel while I am at work, which is 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. I just think there is a better situation for her wellbeing. Please consider adopting this wonderful and lovable dog!🐕 The adoption fee is negotiable.

Story
Are you ready for a bundle of fun and excitement?!? If so, HERE I AM!! I’m a fun, energetic, and smart boy who is always ready for my next adventure! I LOVE everyone I meet, and I’m pretty sure everyone loves me right back! I’m doing really well with my potty training, and I’m learning all about crate training. I can settle down nicely in a kennel, but we’re still working on making the whole crate-training thing a little easier for me. I have lots of energy, and when I haven’t had a chance to run, play, and get all that energy out, I’m not quite ready to settle into my kennel. Because I’m such an active guy, I’ll do best with an active person or family who loves being outdoors and wants a four-legged adventure buddy to join them. Hiking, walks, exploring, playing, and just getting out and enjoying life together? Count me in! ‍ I’m excited to find my forever family and can’t wait to start making memories with my people. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic pup who will keep you smiling and on the go, I might just be your guy! Let’s go have some fun!

Story
 About Me Meet Joey, a well-rounded, easygoing guy—he’s just as happy lounging by your side as he is joining you for a walk or a game of keep away. Joey is a professional cuddler who loves neck scratches and curling up next to you. He’s not overly silly or serious, just a steady companion who enjoys being near his people. Joey is crate trained, potty trained, and walks nicely on a leash. He’s friendly with other dogs and has shown no aggression, and does well with new people. He can however get a bit reactive to animals on TV. Joey isn’t much for fetch (you’ll get one good fetch!), but he loves snuffle mats, crinkle toys, and a good round of keep away. His favorite games—tug and keep away—can get a little rough, so he’s best suited for families without children or with older kids. He has not had exposure to kids or cats yet. Joey sleeps peacefully in his crate and doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety. He’s not a fan of nail trims, so that’s a job best left to the pros. Joey does very well with baths though, acting as if it's a day at the spa for him! If you’re looking for a companion who’s easy to live with, enjoys both activity and downtime, and will be your loyal sidekick, Joey might be your perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply to adopt Joey today!    WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.  Foster Home Pets: Meet & greets are scheduled after an approved adoption application Cats at The PURRfect Match Adoption Center (Andover, MN): Some cats may be available to meet during open hours Please visit our website for the most accurate information on this pet and next steps.

Story
About Me Meet Scrappy, the ultimate cuddle buddy and loyal sidekick you’ve been searching for! With his adorable short legs, stocky build, and a heart full of love, Scrappy is happiest when he’s right by your side—whether you’re relaxing on the couch or heading out for a stroll. At about a year old, Scrappy is still learning the ropes of the world. He’s house trained and even rings a bell when he needs to go out. He loves to play with his canine foster sibling and would enjoy having a dog friend, though he can be selective and appreciates slow introductions. Scrappy is best suited for a home with a fenced yard where he can patrol and keep watch—he takes his “guard dog” duties seriously, but he’s making great progress learning that passing dogs and kids on scooters aren’t anything to worry about. Scrappy is a professional cuddler who melts for belly rubs and will roll over the moment you reach down to pet him. He’s still got some puppy energy and loves to chew, but his favorite thing is just being close to his person. He’d do best with older, considerate children who understand his boundaries. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion who will be your shadow and fill your days with love and laughter, Scrappy is ready to meet you. Apply today and let Scrappy show you just how wonderful life with a loyal friend can be! ---------- WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.  Foster Home Pets: Meet & greets are scheduled after an approved adoption application Cats at The PURRfect Match Adoption Center (Andover, MN): Some cats may be available to meet during open hours Please visit our website for the most accurate information on this pet and next steps.

Story
Hello there, friends! If you’re looking for the sweetest boy ever, here I am! My foster family says I’m a sweet, smart, gentle, and loving boy—and I have to agree! I’m great with other dogs and happily ignore the cats. I’m also potty trained and crate trained, although I don’t really need a crate. I’m a perfect gentleman who just wants to be close to my people. I’d love a family who will include me in their adventures, whether that means going for walks, exploring new places, or simply spending time together. But after a fun day out, I’m more than happy to curl up beside you on a soft bed or cozy blanket. Are you a reader? I’d make an excellent reading buddy! Prefer movie nights? Even better—I’m always ready to snuggle up and keep you company for a good movie. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who will happily be by your side through adventures and lazy days, I might just be your perfect match!   WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.  Foster Home Pets: Meet & greets are scheduled after an approved adoption application Cats at The PURRfect Match Adoption Center (Andover, MN): Some cats may be available to meet during open hours Please visit our website for the most accurate information on this pet and next steps.
