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.

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.  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.

Meet Picasso — your tiny, loyal shadow with a big personality. This little gentleman is ready to find his forever person. Picasso may be small, but he has plenty to say — especially if he thinks you’ve been gone too long! He’ll happily let you know he missed you. Picasso is more of a back-of-the-couch philosopher than a social butterfly. While he does well with other dogs, he’s not overly playful and prefers observing the world from his favorite perch. His happy place? Curled up somewhere cozy where he can keep an eye on his person. He forms a strong bond with “his” human and likes to always know where you are. He’s not overly cuddly or clingy, but he’s deeply devoted in his own independent way. If you’re looking for a constant companion who will quietly share your space and your routines, Picasso may be your guy. The good stuff: Potty-trained, Crate-trained, Can be left out while you’re away, Prefers sleeping in bed with his person, Does well with older kids who understand and respect his boundaries. Picasso would thrive in a calm home with someone who appreciates a dog with personality, opinions, and loyalty. He’s not looking for the spotlight — just his person. If you’re ready for a devoted little sidekick who will always be watching over you (from the back of the couch), Picasso is ready to meet 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.

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.

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. Alfred, or “Alfie” for short, is a sweet chi mix whose little life didn’t get off to a great start and is still working on trusting his surroundings.  He loves to play with other dogs his own size and after a good romp will curl up in the same bed for naptime together.  While he is wary of new people, he is quickly learning that belly pets are kind of a great thing.  He has even learned that if he climbs the pet steps it leads to the foster’s comfy bed where he can snuggle right in! Due to his skittish temperament, it is recommended Alfie be placed in a home with children over the age of 10. A few facts about Alfie: His favorite game is tug. Bring it on! He LOVES to snuggle….with other dogs and in cozy places.  We think with time and patience, he will actually be a real snuggle bug! Alfie comes to you housetrained.  No accidents!  He will bark when excited but is not overly vocal. He really enjoys the companionship of other dogs and would be happiest in a household with another canine friend. While he isn’t afraid of a kennel, he is not considered kennel trained. Alfie has not been cat tested and his prey drive is unknown.
