Story
Meet Lobu! Lobu is a sweet, silly girl who came to us from a local shelter partner along with her eight adorable puppies. She has been an absolutely amazing mama and is just about finished raising her babies. Now it’s finally her turn to be spoiled and loved! Lobu would thrive in a home where she can cuddle on the couch, go for relaxing walks, and be treated like the princess she is. She’s both crate trained and potty trained, and she’ll politely let you know she needs to go outside with a couple of quick barks. She loves playtime—especially squeaky toys and good chew toys. They’re her favorites so far! She’s a wonderful size for just about any living situation, whether that’s an apartment or a house. While a fenced yard isn’t required, she would certainly enjoy having one. Because she’s been such a devoted mama, Lobu may need a little patience as she adjusts to being away from her puppies. She doesn’t love being separated from them, but everyone is ready to find their own forever families. With time, reassurance, and love, she will blossom. Lobu seems most comfortable with women but has done just fine with her foster dad. She hasn’t yet been around children, so that is still unknown. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who deserves to be cherished after raising her babies so beautifully, Lobu might be your perfect match. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.   The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org.

Story
Expected to stay small (around 10–18 lbs), Aaron is a playful little scruffy pup with a curious spirit and a heart full of love. Aaron is one of five adorable siblings rescued from the streets of Mexico and now thriving in foster care while they wait for their forever homes. Safe, healthy, and full of puppy joy, Aaron is discovering just how wonderful life can be when there are toys to chase, people to love, and cozy spots for naps. Aaron has an adorable scruffy terrier-style coat and a playful personality to match. He’s curious about everything around him and loves exploring his world alongside his siblings and foster family. Like most puppies his age, his days are filled with playtime, cuddles, learning new things, and plenty of well-earned naps. His foster family describes him as: Playful and full of puppy energy Curious and eager to explore Affectionate and people-oriented Always ready for a cuddle after playtime Aaron and his siblings are still young and learning about the world, so their future families should be ready for the fun (and occasional chaos!) that comes with raising a puppy. He’s currently working on important skills like potty training, manners, and routine, and will thrive with a family that can provide patience, consistency, and lots of love as he continues to grow. We expect Aaron to grow into a small dog, likely around 10–18 pounds when fully grown, making him a wonderful companion for many types of homes. If you're looking for a small dog with a playful spirit, an adorable scruffy face, and a lifetime of love to give, Aaron might be the perfect match for you.

Story
Do you know anyone looking to add a sweet pup to their family? When you hold Larkin, he just melts into you and soaks up the attention. I’m also very gentle, which makes me a great buddy for kids. Hi, I’m Larkin! I was found near the playground on the reservation, and I’ve been showing my foster family what a good boy I am ever since. My foster mom says the dogs from the reservation are the best because they appreciate  everything! I love kids and other dogs, and like the cats too - I really just want to play with everyone. I’m doing great with potty training after only one week—I run right to the door when I need to go out—and I sleep quietly all night with my foster brother either in the living room or in my foster parents’ room. When we go for walks, I keep a close eye on my foster and stay right in the yard too, because I really love having a home and being part of a family. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup who just wants to be near his people, I might be your guy.

If you're searching for a sweet, cuddly, silly, and endlessly entertaining puppy — look no further! You’ve truly hit the jackpot with any pup from this litter. Each one is full of love, personality, and charm. Cooper LOVES to play in water! They’re all doing well with potty training, and while crate training is still a work in progress, they’re making great strides. As they transition to their forever homes, it will be their first time away from their siblings and their amazing mama, so they’ll need patient, understanding families who can give them time to adjust to all the big changes in their little lives. Don’t let their small size fool you — these pups have BIG, wonderful personalities! Mom weighs just 25 pounds, and while Dad remains a mystery, one thing is certain: whatever their breed mix may be, it’s absolutely adorable. Most importantly, they are incredibly sweet, loving puppies ready to bring joy to their forever families.

Story
Hi, I’m Penny. I may be small, but my heart is very, very big. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who wants to be wherever you are… congratulations, you’ve found me. My favorite place in the world is right next to my person — on the couch, at your feet, following you from room to room. I just really love being part of your day. I’m a sweet, doting, snuggly girl who lives for pets, treats, and attention. In the mornings, I greet you gently and head outside to take care of business (yes — I’m potty trained!). Then it’s breakfast time, maybe a short walk, and ideally some couch snuggles. I enjoy walks and little adventures, but I’m also perfectly happy staying cozy inside on chilly days. I’d call myself low energy… but always up for love. I’m leash trained and have lovely house manners. I sleep downstairs and might bark a tiny bit when you first leave (I just miss you!), but I settle down quickly. I do have a touch of separation anxiety — nothing dramatic, just the kind that comes from loving my people a lot. With a little reassurance and routine, I do just fine. When it comes to other dogs, I’m polite and respectful. I don’t really play much, and I might feel overwhelmed by a super in-your-face pup, but calm canine companions are just fine by me. I mostly just want my humans. Before rescue, I was picked up by animal control. My previous owners knew I was there but chose not to come for me. I arrived with a rough haircut, some matting, and tummy troubles — but those days are behind me now. I’m feeling better, looking cuter every day, and ready for my real forever home. If you’re searching for a gentle, devoted little companion who will love you with her whole heart and never let you feel alone… I’m your Penny. Can I come sit next to you?

Story
Around the foster home, these three - Frida, Noodle and Pickles - are known as “The Kids”—a lovable trio of 9-month-old pittie puppies, each with their own nickname: the smart one, the sweet one, and the scrappy one. They may share a past, but each has a unique personality and is ready to shine in a forever home of their own. Frida – The Smart One Hi, I’m Frieda! If you look closely into my eyes, you might just see the gears turning. I’m the curious one of the bunch, always checking out what you’re doing and making sure I don’t miss anything important (like snack time). I love learning new things and pick up on routines quickly. If there’s something to figure out—like a food puzzle or how to get the best cuddle spot—you can bet I’ll be the first one to crack the code. I’m confident, outgoing, and always ready to explore, but I also enjoy being near my people and keeping them company. Like any young pup, I’m still working on my potty training and manners, but I’m eager to learn and ready to grow into an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a smart, curious, and loyal sidekick, I just might be your girl.
