Story
Location: Ivanhoe, MN Hello everyone, meet CLYDE! This handsome guy is the perfect gentleman! He is potty trained and kennel trained. He has only spent time in a large 10 x 10 kennel, so I don’t know he would be in a smaller kennel. He loves his toys and can usually be found chewing his benebone. He seems to like all the dogs he meets, however, he doesn’t like to share his toys. Although he loves his doggie friends, he really likes to spend time with his people. Running and retrieving the ball in a fenced yard is ideal. He does get the zoomies! He walks great on a leash and can hardly contain himself when he knows it’s time to go! He does get very excited if he sees others on his walk, so we are working on manners. He has seen cats and is a bit apprehensive at first, but then is curious about what they do. He gets along with the resident cat. In his previous home he had trouble with younger kids, so respectful kids 12 and up is best for him. He has had some training. He knows sit, down, off, stay (although that one is tough to do at times!). He will gladly trade kisses for butt scratches any chance he gets. Clyde is an all around great guy! If you want an exercise buddy and couch cuddler he is your man. Please meet this guy, you will not be disappointed. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Monticello, MN Hi there, I’m Gromit! I’m a curious, happy puppy with all the typical puppy energy. Always ready to explore, play, and see what’s going on around me. I currently have three furry siblings and I love them all…but shhh, don’t tell anyone, my favorite is my fur brother because he can really match my energy! I adore following my siblings around and when playtime is over, I’m always first in line for snuggles. There’s also this small looking dog in my foster home… I think it’s a dog? It hisses at me a lot, so I’m not totally convinced. Still, I’m very brave and polite. I just approach slowly and carefully to see if I can sneak in a sniff or two. I love staying close to my foster parents, but my absolute favorite human is the little one who mysteriously always has snacks to share. Honestly, I think we’re best friends. I’m learning that my kennel is my own little space and I’m doing a great job practicing, but right now I still have sleepovers on the big dog bed with two of my fur siblings. I sleep through the night with no accidents as long as I get a potty break before bedtime and I’m doing really well with potty training overall! I’ve made huge improvements since my first couple of days in my foster home and I get better every day. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow with a big heart, I’m ready to wiggle my way into your life. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Rock Valley, IA Norbert is a sensitive, sweet soul who thrives in calm, understanding environments. He absolutely loves being outside—running, playing, and soaking up fresh air—and when playtime is done, he’s more than happy to settle in for cuddles. He’s potty trained and does wonderfully when left alone, never chewing things up… as long as he’s not crated. Crates are a big no for Norbert and cause him a lot of stress, so he does best with freedom and trust. He loves other dogs and really enjoys having canine friends to play with. He’s also around cats; while it took him some time to adjust, they’re slowly warming up to each other. Norbert can be a bit too enthusiastic and wants to play rough, but he’s actively working on learning better manners. Norbert is initially very scared of new people and prefers quiet, low-key settings. He’s a high-anxiety boy who needs patience, gentle reassurance, and time to feel safe—but once he does, his affectionate side truly shines. He’s medium energy overall and lives for his toys and bones, which bring him a lot of comfort and joy. Norbert would do best with a calm, patient home that understands his need for space, routine, and kindness. With the right person, he’ll be an incredibly loyal, loving companion. 🐾💙 --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Sioux Falls, SD Meet Ruby (aka Scarlet)! ❤️🐾 Ruby is a beautiful sweetheart (33% German Shepherd, 67% mystery mix!) with a heart full of love and a spirit full of fun.

Story
Location: Buffalo, MN This is Adam! He is the sweetest, love bug. He's good with other dogs of all kinds and sizes.

He is a smart, loving, curious boy who loves following and knowing what his foster mom is doing and does his best to help as much as he can. He is doing ok with potty training.
