Story

Approximately 7 month old Pluto is a sweet and intelligent boy in need of a loving home. No bad behaviors, just typical high energy border/aussie traits. We have small children with disabilities in the home with complex needs and regrettably no longer have the bandwidth to provide Pluto with the special attention and focus he deserves.. we’ve worked tirelessly to shape our home around him since he was just a few weeks old, so this is a decision we don’t take lightly. He truly is the biggest sweetheart and if we could keep him we would. ❤️‍🩹 He has been socialized at doggy daycare, dog parks, and professionally groomed a few times. We’ve potty trained and taught simple tricks like sit, and handshake. He loves puzzles, fetch, and chasing squirrels. Very relaxed around children.

Story

Rosie is a sweet eleven year old purebred red piebald dachshund. Her family moved and couldn't take her along. She spent her entire life with her previous family and needs time to adjust to a new living situation. Rosie has beautiful blue eyes, one is smaller than the other (congenital issue). She had a fatty (non-cancerous) tumor removed from her chest in September 2022, it is starting to grow back. She's is in great health. Rosie is spayed but is not current on vaccinationsShe weighs about 20 pounds. She will be microchipped before she leaves. Rosie lived with three other small-breed dogs (all younger than her), and she did very well. She's selective about which dogs she's making friends with in her foster home, and has gone after other dogs (almost exclusively female dogs). She needs to be placed in a home without other female dogs for her own safety. Rosie can be food aggressive toward other animals (cats included), but not toward humans. She needs to be fed in her own area away from other pets. Rosie is a dachshund and as such she cannot live with rabbits or other small pets - she will try to kill them. She is accustomed to sleeping in the big bed with her people. Rosie loves snuggles, will roll over for tummy rubs, and is active and happy when she's around her people. She prefers plush toys over hard toys and is food and treat motivated. She gets one cup of food per day to maintain her healthy weight. Kids are no problem. Rosie loves her two-legged foster siblings (ages 9 and up). She has a good recall (most of the time) while in a fenced area (poor recall if allowed to run loose), but she walks well on a leash. She does well being let out every three hours throughout the day, but will have accidents if she's not let out regularly. Her previous home left potty pads on the floor, her foster home relies on outdoor potty training. Rosie does howl and cry if she thinks she is home alone. She would do best in a home with someone who can be with her full time - or can bring her with them to work - or can have a pet nanny or dog sitter with her at all times. Rosie's original family would like to stay in touch and get updates if at all possible. Rosie is available for adoption to an approved home that can meet her specific needs. Her adoption fee is $375.

Tess here, I am a bit on the shy side and take a while to warm up but I am so sweet once I know you are a friend. I LOVE other dogs and would do best in a home with another dog to play with and show me all the dog things. I am quiet, do great in my kennel and love the outdoors.

Story

This puppy runs on love and is always up for a good time. Meet Brooks, or as his foster family affectionately calls him, Brooksie. He is a sweet two-month-old husky mix who's ready to hit the trail to his new home. He's a smart cookie, keeping his crate clean overnight, and loves to explore his surroundings with a keen nose. He especially loves playing with toys with his foster brother, and learning the ropes from him on how to chase the ball outside. He also loves to relax in a comfy spot with his blankie and a bone to chew on. At around 25 lbs, he's the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. He has experience living with children and two other big dogs. He can’t wait to find his forever home! Brooks’ adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue’s care.

Story

Avia This sweet girl is ready to help you soar! Avia is a gentle and cuddly two-month-old husky mix who's still all puppy. She's a bit calmer than her brothers, but she loves to play and explore before snuggling up for a nap. Avia is great with the little kids in her foster home, showing a gentle side with them. She's also already keeping her crate clean at night and is working on her puppy manners. Avia is looking for a family to give her lots of love and patience as she grows. Avia's adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers her spay, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care she may have needed while in the rescue’s care. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are.
