Story
About Me Hi there! I’m Moana, and I cannot wait to meet you! I’m a sweet, happy girl with the cutest oversized ears, soulful eyes, and a BIG personality to match. My favorite things in the whole world include: Running around the yard collecting sticks (they’re treasures, obviously!) and chasing bugs and butterflies Wrestling with my much bigger foster brother—I can definitely keep up! Carrying around big stuffed toys and bringing them to you again and again for a gentle game of tug Living room zoomies (they’re the best kind!) Snuggling up next to you on the couch for movie time I’m already off to a great start with my manners, too! I eat and sleep quietly in my kennel and haven’t had any accidents in there. I take treats very gently, walk nicely on a leash, and I even enjoy car rides—adventures are my thing! I’m still working on potty training, but I’m doing really well and learning quickly. I’m truly just an all-around wonderful puppy who’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of love into your life. I can’t wait to find my perfect family and start our happily-ever-after together! ---------- 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
Meet Mickey I am a really sweet, people-loving guy who just wants connection. I'll be honest with you: sometimes, the world is a scary place, so I might be shy when we meet, and sometimes my nerves get the best of me. I don’t stay unsure for long. Once I feel safe, I lean in—literally. I seek out affection, attention, and reassurance, and I become a very happy, loving companion. I’m the kind of dog who wants to be near you, with you, part of your world.  I’ve got a playful, active side too! Right now, I love to run (a lot!), so a fenced yard would make me very happy. Toys are still a bit new to me, but I’m starting to figure them out. Walks? We’re working on that—I can get a little unsure and would rather head back home—but with patience, I know I’ll get there.  And when it comes to cuddling… oh, I’m all in. I might bring a little chaotic energy at first (okay, maybe I’ll bounce off you once or twice ), but then I settle in and just want to be close. I really do love my people. What I’m Looking For: I’m going to thrive with someone who understands that confidence takes time to build. I’ll need: Patience and encouragement as I continue learning the world is safe A consistent routine to help me feel secure Continued support with potty and crate training A home that can manage my energy (and ideally has a fenced yard!) I’m still learning, but I’m trying—and I’m worth it. A Few Honest Notes (Because You Deserve That): I’m still working on potty and crate training I may have accidents if left too long—I’m not quite ready for a full workday alone yet I can be a little sensitive around food with other dogs, so thoughtful management is important But here’s the thing… I’m improving every day. And once I’m settled, I am a really happy, loving dog who just wants to belong.  Why You’ll Love Me Because when you choose me, you’re not just getting a dog—you’re getting a companion who will grow with you, trust you deeply, and love you in that quiet, meaningful way that only a once-shy dog can. If you’re willing to give me a little time… I promise I’ll give you my whole heart.

About Me Meet Snowspot, a gentle puppy with a heart as soft as her name. She’s happiest when she’s close by your side—your little shadow, always ready to curl up for a cuddle or quietly chew on her favorite toy. Snowspot is crate trained and settles in easily overnight or when you’re out, making her a wonderful companion for a calm home. She’s friendly with children, dogs, and even cats, and she truly blossoms around people and pets she knows and trusts. While new faces and noises can make her a bit shy, she prefers to watch from a safe spot until she feels comfortable. With patience and gentle encouragement, her confidence grows every day. Snowspot is still learning the ropes like any young pup, so she’ll need continued training and positive socialization to help her feel secure in new situations. She’s food-motivated and eager to please, which makes her a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will be your quiet sidekick through life’s ups and downs, Snowspot is ready to find her forever family. Apply today to meet this special girl and see if she’s the missing piece in your home. ---------- 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 Tiptoe, a gentle soul looking for a calm, loving home where he can finally feel safe. Tiptoe is an adult, low-energy pup who prefers quiet routines and peaceful environments. He’s crate trained, good in the car, and happiest when he’s right by your side—he truly is your little shadow. Tiptoe is still learning to trust and can be timid and unsure, so he’ll thrive with someone patient who understands that building confidence takes time. He’s not interested in toys or playtime, but he absolutely loves belly rubs and simply being close to his person. Tiptoe does best with slow introductions and isn’t a fan of large dogs, though he may be okay with a small, gentle companion. He’s had some medical issues, so walks haven’t been part of his routine yet, but he’s comfortable on a leash and enjoys calm outings. Tiptoe needs a home where he can take things at his own pace and discover that there are good humans out there. If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal companion and have a peaceful home to share, Tiptoe would love to meet you. Apply today to give this sweet boy the second chance he deserves. ---------- 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
If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.org. From Sneaker's Foster mom: I have a never-ending list of wonderful things to say about Miss Sneakers! First and foremost, she is incredibly sweet and responds wonderfully to training. She’s not only treat-motivated, but also thrives on praise—which is so easy to give, because she’s truly a good girl. She’s completely potty trained and adapts well to both a house or apartment lifestyle. Sneakers already knows several commands: sit, lay down, off, wait, and—of course—“good girl.” She’s gentle with her toys and prefers stuffed animals over puzzle toys. Her favorite snacks are biscuits, bully sticks, and meat treats—though she’s not a fan of peanut butter. She gets plenty of exercise with 2–3 walks a day (plus some running!) to help burn off energy. Behavior & Socialization: Sneakers is considered reactive, meaning she gets nervous around new people and may bark to try and keep them away. But in the short time I’ve had her, she’s already shown amazing progress with consistent, positive exposure—especially in outdoor spaces like parks, where she can take things at her own pace. She simply needs time and patience to build trust. Once she does, she bonds deeply. ‍ Bonds quickly with women ‍ Slower to trust men Would do best in a home with older kids (she’s a little jumpy and sensitive about her tail) No cats due to prey drive (not officially tested) Best as the only dog—she’s shown nervous behavior around others Her Ideal Home: Sneakers needs a calm, structured home with patient humans who’ll give her space and support as she decompresses. Once she feels safe, she is the sweetest soul. She loves: Tummy rubs Hand-holding (yes, really!) Walks in the park Sunbathing Taking treats ever so gently She’s a total mama’s girl, and I know she’ll thrive in the right adoptive home—one that sees the loving, loyal dog she already is.

Story
About Me Jasmin is a bright, energetic 7monthold Kelpie/Shepherd mix who came up from Texas and is settling beautifully into indoor life. She’s currently about 35 pounds and is expected to stay a medium-sized dog as an adult — Kelpies typically reach around 35–40 pounds — making her a great fit for adopters who love shepherd traits without shepherd size. She’s an exceptionally smart little girl with excellent leash manners, a curious mind, and a playful spirit. Squirrels and frogs are her favorite things to observe, and she’s always ready for a walk or a car ride. Jasmin has already mastered sit, loves ball tosses, and is working on bringing the ball back. She is fully crate trainedand house trained, and she sleeps through the night without a peep — she happily goes into her crate at bedtime and snoozes until morning. Like many herdingbreed puppies, Jasmin is still learning polite boundaries. She can be mouthy and jumpy when excited, and her foster is actively working on impulse control and calmer greetings. Because of this, she would do best in a home without small children. Jasmin thrives with activity and would love a family who enjoys walks, playtime, and mental enrichment. She would also be thrilled to have a confident adult dog to play with and learn from. She’s a clever, affectionate girl who is coming along beautifully and will make a wonderful companion for an active home.
