Story
 About Me Meet Simba, a playful puppy with a heart full of love and a knack for making every day brighter. With his silly antics—like “swimming” in his water bowl—he’s sure to keep you smiling. Simba is your classic shadow, happiest when he’s close by. Simba thrives on routine and enjoys a mix of playtime, walks (he does well on a leash!), and rest time in his crate. Fetch is his favorite game, and he’s mastered bringing the ball or toy back—no chasing him around required! He loves toys and playing but settles nicely in his crate with a chew treat. At night he sleeps peacefully at the foot of his foster's bed.  Simba is friendly with dogs, children of all ages, and cats (though he’s still learning to respect feline boundaries and would do best with confident, dog-savvy cats or a cat free home). He loves playing with both people and other dogs, but also wouldn't mind being the only dog soaking up all of the attention as well. Simba is still working on his puppy manners—like not jumping, biting or pawing when excited—and responds well to redirection. Potty training is a work in progress and he's doing great when let out regularly and rewarded. Simba would love a home where he gets daily play, attention, and training, whether with other dogs or as your one-and-only. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will always be by your side, Simba is ready to join your family. Apply to meet him and see if he’s 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.

Story
About Me Hello there, friends! My name is Zyggy, and I am the bundle of fun and sunshine you’ve been missing! I’m the life of every party—trust me on that! I’m spunky, full of energy, super smart, and, as you can clearly see, cute as a button! I’m great with every animal and human I meet. I’m currently working on my potty training and doing sooooo good! I’m also crate trained, although if I had my way, I’d much rather be hanging out with my people. Even though I’m a little guy, I can handle stairs like a champ! I’m not leash trained just yet, but I’m a smart boy, so I’m sure I’ll master that in no time. My foster Mom says I’m a bit of a social butterfly, and she’s absolutely right! When we’re out for a walk, I want to say hello to everyone I see. I just love meeting new people and finding out if they might want to be my new best friend! If you’re looking for a happy, outgoing, playful little guy who will bring lots of sunshine, laughter, and love into your life, I just might be your boy!

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 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.

About Me Meet Romeo Jack, the ultimate sidekick for anyone looking for a loyal, loving companion. This friendly, snuggly guy is happiest when he’s right by your side—whether you’re relaxing on the couch or heading out for a walk. Romeo Jack is leash, crate, and potty trained, making him an easy addition to your daily routine. He sometimes acts like a “circus dog”, greeting you with a happy hop on his hind legs, always eager for attention and cuddles. While he’s still figuring out toys, he loves running around the yard with his dog friends and chewing on a good bone. Romeo Jack is especially drawn to adult men and thrives in a calm, loving environment. He gets along well with small dogs but has been fearful of larger dogs so far. With cats, he’s mostly indifferent—unless they dash away, which might spark a playful chase. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will be your shadow and fill your days with snuggles, Romeo Jack is ready to meet you. Apply today to welcome this cuddle bug into your life!  ---------- 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.
