Story
Hello, I'm Jasper! I'm a very sweet & loving boy who's ready for a new home! My previous home said my best fit is a home that does not live in town, as I like to run once I catch a scent (typical for my breed). I walk very well on a leash, love kids, do well in the car, and can be handled everywhere. I'm seriously the best boy ever! I've done well with other dogs and larger animals, but should probably go to a home with no smell pets (rodents, birds, etc.) due to my breed. I've hunted before (racoons, squirrels, etc) but tend to be gun shy. Come meet me! ##2667549##

Story
Hi, I'm Maggie. I'm a super sweet and loving girl who's eager to please. I'm extremely food motivated and a fast learner. Right now I am overweight, but staff are working hard to get me back into shape. I love car rides, long walks, puzzle toys, and belly rubs. My best home is one where I am the only pet, no small kids, and preferably an experienced dog home. I do resource guard my toys and food, so it's important to not try and take these things away from me. Resource guarding can be managed with proper training as well. Despite being an only pet, I have enough love in my heart to make up for it! I love meeting new people and am super happy-go-lucky. Come meet me, I promise you will love me! ##2479865##

Story
Hello, I'm Hades! I may not be King of the Underworld, but I can be the King of your heart! I'm a very active boy with lots of energy, so I need to be placed into a active home. I would do best in a home with another high energy dog so we can have lots of playtime! I do still need lots of training. My previous home said I have trouble with potty training, chewing on things I'm not supposed to, and tend to break out of a kennel. I also am afraid of car rides. It's important my new home is full of lots of patience for me as they take the time to help me become my best self. Come meet me! ##2646025##

Story
Hi, this is Nova. She is a very loving, sweet girl that needs a new home. I got her from a friend back in 2020 and she was about a year to a year and half years old then. She is 7 to 7 and half years old now. She is very active dog and loves to run. Loves going on walks. Very affectionate towards her owner. She's very smart, strong and sensitive. She does not get along with cats. She will get along with some dogs but some dogs trigger her. I think someone who has space for her to roam and run, preferably in a fenced in area cause she will run off. Someone with the time and energy for her.

Story
Meet Lightning Bug! This precious brindle baby is searching for a family willing to work on building her confidence and social skills. Bug was surrendered to us at the end of August. She`s gotten used to the shelter environment and routine, however can still be a bit nervous in new situations. Despite being shut down and unsure when she arrived, she was tolerant of all handling and cares done by our intake staff. She has not been introduced to cats yet - she briefly met the office cat with no negative reaction. She is pretty indifferent around other dogs - she`s polite towards them, but hasn`t shown a huge interest in play. We think she would do well in a home with another dog that matches her soft energy. If you think Bug may be a good fit for you, please give the shelter a call at 218-675-7297.

If you’re interested in meeting Beth, please give the shelter a call at 218-675-7297. She’s a puppy, so will need a home willing to guide her on how to become a well-mannered adult dog.
