Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Brooklyn Park, MN

Size

Details

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

Story

I adopted Bonnie from the Humane Society November 2023. She was born in October 2020. Bonnie is a beautiful, loving dog but needs a more active family. I am a 71 y/o woman with arthritis & 2 knee replacements.She craves attention / interaction with her owner. At the time I adopted Bonnie I had 2 other elderly dogs at home. They have since both passed away. The last, Kansas, passed away earlier this year. Since then Bonnie has become more fearful of other dogs when we go on walks. She is very active and loves to go on walks. She is very strong and is very intent on chasing squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, etc we see on our walks. This has resulted in her pulling me off my feet. I switched her to a prone collar and we can now walk safely. She does still walk faster than I wish. I have a fenced in back yard and she has a doggy door so she can go out anytime. Unfortunately I have rabbits that "live" under my deck and Bonnie has killed 2 of them. She doesn't eat them though.

Poncho

Labrador Retriever

Male, Young

Brooklyn Center, MN

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Ponch is the sweetest boy. He's a great companion and will follow you everywhere you go, just wanting to be with you. He's smart and trainable. He is food motivated and loves to get lots of treats. Ponch is good with our two other dogs and cat, but he has not done the best at the dog park. He barked at other dogs but did not seem aggressive. We think with a little training he will do fine in that setting. We rescued Poncho from being abandoned at a lake and have been fostering him for a few months. He was skin and bones when we found him, but now he is back to a normal weight. We named him Ponch because we think he looks like Ponch from the show CHIPS (Eric Estrada :) He does have some separation anxiety but has not chewed things up, just cries. He is not kennel trained yet. He LOVES to cuddle. Overall, he is a big lover with a heart of gold and is a very handsome boy. He is very loyal to his people, and we want to keep him but just do not have the time he needs and deserves.

Story

Meet Daisy Mae, the tall drink of water you didn’t know you needed. Born around January 2022, she’s basically a professional at being both your hiking buddy and your couch-side snuggle supervisor. This big, goofy girl thrives in the company of other dogs—seriously, she thinks doggy playdates should be a full-time job and she’s the CEO. Cats? No problem. Chickens? Well… let’s just say Daisy Mae believes they’re suspicious little feathered aliens and she’d rather not negotiate peace treaties with them. She’s got all the basics down—potty trained, kennel trained, and polite enough that you won’t find your favorite shoes mysteriously “remodeled.” What she’s really looking for is a family who will match her zest for life, whether that’s tackling trails, showing off at the dog park, or pretending she’s a 70-pound lapdog when the day winds down. Daisy Mae is equal parts adventure partner and cuddle connoisseur, and she’s ready to make your family complete. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Shadow

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Adult

Brooklyn Center, MN

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

Meet Shadow! Shadow is a 3-year-old pup born approx 6/21/22 with a heart full of love and loyalty. She’s fully potty trained, does wonderfully in her kennel, and finds comfort in having a safe, cozy spot to finally call her own. Shadow is a sweet and affectionate snuggle-bug with her person, but she also has plenty of playful energy. She loves to run, bark, and chase after balls. While she can be nervous at first and needs slow, patient introductions with new dogs, she has the potential to be a good canine companion once she feels secure with her family. She would also thrive in a place where she can express herself vocally without limitations. Because of her high prey drive, Shadow will keep a close watch on squirrels and would do best in a home without cats (not cat tested). She’s also a bit jumpy when excited, so a household without small children may be the safest fit. Shadow thrives in a calm, structured environment and has so much potential to shine with the right person. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will make you laugh with her sweet little quirks, cuddle with you on the couch, and join in on everyday adventures, Shadow may be the perfect match! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Dental, Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $550.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 24, 2025, 8:27 pm

Lola

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Adult

Brooklyn Center, 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

Hi, I’m Lola! I’m a sweet, gentle girl who knows all my basics — I can sit and lay down like a pro. I’m also kennel trained, potty trained, and house trained, so I fit in nicely with a family routine. I sleep in my kennel at night and stay in it quietly during the day when everyone is at work or school. I might let out a little whine now and then, but it never lasts long. Most of the time, I’m perfectly content to nap, relax, or just keep to myself. I really like other dogs, but I do need to be fed separately — food is my one thing I prefer not to share. Once mealtime is over, though, I’m all about playing, cuddling, and being part of the pack. When I meet new dogs or new people, I can be a bit timid at first, but give me a little time and I’ll warm right up. Once I feel safe, I’m affectionate, snuggly, and ready to play with anyone who wants to be my friend. I’ve met cats, too, and I mostly just want to play with them. I’ve also been great with kids, at least as young as 12 that we know of. As long as kids understand that I need my space when I’m eating and don’t try to share my food, we should get along just fine. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who just wants a safe place, a little patience, and a family to adore… I think we might be a perfect match. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Alicia

Catahoula Leopard Dog

Size

Details

Story

Hi there! My name is Alicia and I'm a 2-year girl that weighs about 40 pounds. I have the same name as my foster mom, so they call me Aurora. I am, without a doubt, the sweetest pup in the world - everyone tells me so! I love to meet new friends and give them hugs, kisses, and snuggles. I’ve met many dogs (15-100 pounds) and have done fantastic with them all. I love to wrestle and play tug-of-war with my furry friends and I’d absolutely love to have a fur sibling in my future home. Confident, dog-savvy cats would be okay too, although I might chase them a little at first. What else is there to know about me? Oh yeah, I’m completely potty, leash, kennel, and house trained! More than almost anything in the world, I love stuffed animals!! I could play with them all day. Sunbathing outside and chasing tennis balls are my favorite activities. Something important to know about me is that I have bilateral hip dysplasia. Some dogs need FHO surgery, whereas others can manage the pain with just medication. Since I’m still young, it’s unclear if I will need surgery in the future but it’s definitely possible. For me to stay healthy, my future family must commit to the following: 1) keeping me lean and active with low-impact exercise such as walks; 2) continuing to feed me a prescription mobility diet such as Hill's j/d; and 3) giving me a joint supplement like Dasuqin. If I'm too active, I will limp or walk slowly; my foster mom manages my pain with an anti-inflammatory. Because of this, I'd do best with a canine friend that takes breaks and doesn't play to rough - that way I don't overexert myself. I know this might sound like a lot of work, but I promise I'm worth it! I'm a super affectionate and loving dog that is so grateful for a second chance in life. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
