Story
Hi! I’m Ezmerelda, but my friends call me Ezzy. I came in hot from the South and I’m built for just about anything — especially becoming someone’s just right adventure buddy. I’m not little, I’m not big… I’m perfectly in between and ready to keep up with whatever life throws our way. Want a hiking partner? A running buddy? A co-pilot for road trips? Or maybe you’ve been eyeing that agility class and just needed the right dog to try it with — because watch out, Ilona Maher… I’ve got some moves. I’m a little athlete with moderate-to-high energy and a big enthusiasm for life. I do have a tiny voice that pops out now and then — only because I care so much and want to make sure I’m doing exactly what you’re asking. It’s the sweetest little hound sound, and most people say it’s impossible not to smile when they hear it. I truly love everyone. New people, new friends, playtime — I’m all in. I’m also proud to say I’m 100% potty trained and quiet and content in my kennel when it’s time to settle down. If you take a chance on me, I promise to show you just how full of adventure (and joy) everyday life can be.  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.

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. World…meet Remi and her sister Gizmo! These two are a bonded pair and for their emotional well-being, they must be adopted together. Remi is 6 lbs. of sass and she is certain it is her job to protect her sister Gizmo. And don’t.tell.her.any.different – humph!  She enjoys the finer things in life; sleeping in bed, a warm sweater (maybe one that says ‘Security’?), and a good blanket. She patiently waits for you to notice and appreciate her. She is truly a companion, wanting to be with you, no matter what you may be doing. She enjoys playing with her sister, other dogs, and toys.  She's always all in for a good wrestling match. And if you could follow that with a treat, she'll follow you to the ends of the earth! A few other facts about Remi: She is house trained. She is kennel trained, as long as she is kenneled with her sister Gizmo. She does have a voice and will use it, so shared walls are not recommended for Miss Remi.  Notes about Remi & Gizmo as a dynamic duo: They are still learning new experiences but have room for growth. They need a patient forever home who will be dedicated to allowing them to blossom on their own timeline. They have been working on meeting other dogs on leash. These sisters function as a cohesive unit and are quick to come to the others aid.  One of the best things about this pair is you don't need to worry about leaving them at home.  They enjoy each other's company and will also anticipate your homecoming! 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.

Gizmo is an itty bitty pup who would be content being in your bubble space all day long. She is a Velcro dog and proud of it! She plays well with other dogs and loves a good toy. Her best friend is her sister, Remi, who she is very attached to. Gizmo and Remi are a bonded pair and for their emotional well-being, they must be adopted together. She loves exploring the yard and keeping it safe, although at 6 lbs. I’m not sure how effective she is…(Shhh, don’t tell her this!). A few other facts about Gizmo: Her favorite place to sleep is by your head so I hope you like to snuggle! She is house trained. She is kennel trained, as long as she is kenneled with her sister Remi. She does have a voice and will use it, so shared walls are not recommended for Miss Gizmo.  Notes about Gizmo & Remi as a dynamic duo: They are still learning new experiences but have room for growth.  They need a patient forever home who will be dedicated to allowing them to blossom on their own timeline.

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.  Meet Buckles: Classy, Sassy, and Currently Accepting Applications  Buckles would like to start by saying she is very polite when you first meet her. Calm. Reserved. Practically an angel. This is a lie she tells to see if you’re worthy. The moment you pet her and she realizes you’re not a threat, her entire body turns into one enthusiastic wiggle. Shy? No. Strategic? Absolutely. Buckles is what you’d call high-functioning perfection. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows sit, lay down, come, kennel, and heel. She learns insanely fast and lives to impress. Beauty and brains. Dangerous combination. Social skills? Immaculate.  Loves kids of all ages  Adored by adults  Dog-friendly (would thrive with a canine roommate)  Chill with cats, chickens, and ducks — because she’s cultured She’s athletic, smart, and ready to be your hiking buddy, sport prospect, or “let’s learn something new” partner. Physical and mental stimulation are her love languages. That, and belly rubs. Mostly belly rubs. Now let’s address the diva energy. Buckles believes: • Sweaters are not optional. • Snow booties are a fashion statement. • Mud puddles are self-care. • Sass is a personality trait, not a flaw. She is one of those once-in-a-lifetime dogs — the kind you meet and immediately start rearranging your life for. The kind you tell your friends about even if you don’t adopt her, because how could you not talk about Buckles? Buckles may be your soulmate if: • You would choose your dog over your spouse (green flag). • You can commit to endless belly rubs. • You’re okay being mildly bossed around by a puppy. • You’re missing a little sass and a lot of love in your life.

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. Noodle – The Sweet One Hi there, I’m Noodle—the gentle soul of the group and the only boy among my sisters. I’m known for my soft heart and calm personality. While I enjoy a good game of tug, my favorite moments are the quiet ones when I get your full attention. Give me some pets, a cozy spot, and maybe a chew toy, and I’m one happy pup. I’m still figuring out the whole “playing with stuffies” thing, but I’m learning fast and having fun along the way. I recognize my name, come when called, and I’m working on potty training like a champ. With a little patience and consistency, I’ll grow into a loyal, loving companion who just wants to be by your side. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup with a gentle spirit, I’d love to meet you.
