Big Lake, MN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bubba is some sort of pointer mix and is about 4 years old. Such a sweet boy who has always welcomed affection and has such a love for life. When we found him, he was quite emaciated and required proper refeeding and lots of love. Our family felt as though he found us for a reason and therefore he has been at home with us, hoping his owners may respond to social media posts however this never happened and unfortunately, he was never microchipped. He is doing really well right now in regards to having gained appropriate weight and although we will miss him, we are not in a position to keep him long term. Bubba is a high energy dog that thinks he is a lap dog:) Requires ability to get significant amount of exercise daily. Loves walks, car rides and palling around. Knows basic commands. Walks well on a leash but requires redirection with bunnies/other dogs/some people as he will bark. Has started to play along fence line with neighbors dog. Warming up to our FIVE cats :)

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Riley, is my son’s 8-year-old German Shepherd / Pit Bull Terrier mix with the biggest heart and strongest personality. She is funny, gentle, affectionate, and deeply loving. She smiles when she’s happy, leans in for comfort, and bonds fiercely with her people.Riley was rescued two years ago by my son, he was informed that she was abused. Because of that trauma, she needs to be the only pet in a calm, stable home with someone patient and experienced. My son and her moved back home as he plans to leave for the army and we keep her and our dog separate at all times. This decision is heartbreaking, but she deserves peace, security, and the chance to truly thrive.Riley is incredibly loyal once she trusts you and will love her person with her whole soul. We are seeking a compassionate, responsible home where she can feel safe and cherished for the rest of her life.

Oreo

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Young

Becker, MN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oreo was found on the streets of Detroit by my spouse co-worker. They took him in, but could not keep him long term. We met up with them in OH to transfer ownership and bring him home in Dec of 2024. We had no history for him and are unsure of breed other than black lab mix. He was just about 7 months old at that time. He is a sweet dog who was very nervous at first but learns new tricks easily (very treat motivated). We still use a slow bowl because he inhales every meal, but he loves to cuddle, play and jump. He got away from us in September and was hit by a truck which broke his jaw. We got that fixed and he healed up so well even the vet was surprised. We love him, but he does not like cats so our rescue cat pretty much just comes into the house for food now. He is great with our kids aged 9-13, he loves to play. They play chase games and fetch. He loves to play tug-o-war. We would really love to find him a good home since he has had a pretty rough life so far.

Kiwi

Shepherd (Unknown Type) German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Albertville, MN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Kiwi is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic pup with a heart full of love. Originally found as a stray on a reservation, she was taken in by the Humane Society, where her playful spirit and gentle nature quickly stood out. We adopted her when she was just a year old, and she has been a joyful part of our family ever since. Kiwi adores people, especially children and gets along wonderfully with other pets. She loves cats. She’s playful, social, and always ready for an adventure or a cuddle. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, playing with a furry friend, or curling up for snuggles, Kiwi is happiest when she’s with her people. As much as we love her, our work schedules and caring for a toddler mean we can’t give Kiwi the time and activity she thrives on. She deserves a home where she can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Kiwi would be a perfect fit for an active family, a home with kids, or a household with other pets.

Sundance

Retriever (Unknown Type)

Male, Adult

Ramsey, MN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Sundance Sundance is an active, loving dog who will be 7 years old on February 12. I adopted him when he was 2, and he has been a loyal companion ever since. He is a great match for someone who enjoys running or staying active, he keeps up well, stays focused, and absolutely lives for playing frisbee, his favorite way to run fast and burn energy. Sundance also loves walks, car rides, pup cups, and his buddy Biscuits. Recent changes in my schedule have made it clear that Sundance needs a home with more consistency and daily companionship than I can currently provide. Please note he is on Prozac. He has some quirky eating habits but does well with a routine and currently eats biscuits in the morning and a full meal at night. Sundance would thrive with a patient, active person or family who can give him the time, structure, and love he deserves.
