Story
Location: St Louis Park, MN Pharmacy (affectionately known as Macy) is such an easy dog to love! She was found as a stray on a SD Reservation with her adorable puppies and has been very excited to retire her "mom" duties and focus on being a care-free dog again! She's a smart, curious, goofy girl who will likely greet you with a boop and immediately ask for belly rubs. She gets along great with dogs and loves to run and play - she would thrive in a house with another younger or energetic dog who also loves to play. She also loves to be outside and would do best with a fenced in yard where she can spend lots of time hanging outdoors, sniffing around, and chasing squirrels. When she's relaxing, she likes to be cuddled up near her people where she can get pets and belly rubs. She is sure to be the perfect addition to a lucky family! --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Woodbury, MN 🐾 Meet Wojapi ("Javi") 🖤🤍 If you've been looking for the perfect little sidekick, your search might just be over. Wojapi—better known as Javi in his foster home—is one of the smartest, cuddliest puppies you'll ever meet. This sweet boy has a serious case of FOMO, which means his favorite place in the world is wherever you are. Whether he's snuggled in your lap, sleeping on your feet, or wrestling with his furry siblings, Javi just wants to be part of the action. He absolutely adores other dogs and has gained so much confidence from his foster siblings. Because of that, we'd love to see him join a home with another playful, confident pup who can continue showing him the ropes. Despite being just a few weeks old, Javi is already impressing everyone! He: 🐾 Knows "sit" 🐾 Is doing great with potty training and improving every day 🐾 Sleeps through the night like a champ 🐾 Loves exploring the outdoors, rolling in the grass, and going on walks Like any young puppy, Javi is still learning that being alone is okay. He'll need a family committed to continuing his training so he can grow into a confident, independent adult. If you're looking for a loyal shadow, an adventure buddy, and a professional cuddle bug all wrapped up in one adorable puppy, Javi is ready to steal your heart. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Champlin, MN This little goofy boy is Gary! Gary and his brother, Larry (see his page!), came into rescue together. They are 1.5-years-old! Ideally, they would be adopted together, but if separate, then go to a home with a confident dog to give them guidance! Gary is very timid of new people and experiences at first, but as soon as he realizes you're safe, or the toy is fun, or the bone is actually yummy he is ALL IN. Gary has medium energy, he gets very excited to see me, gets his wiggles out, and then happily will sit on my lap. Gary is potty trained. Right now he and his brother, Larry, have been in a room together at night. He will whine for a few minutes and then settle down. When he hears you awake in the morning he will let you know! He enjoys being outside. Gary does well with other low and medium energy dogs, he likely wouldn't do well with high energy dogs. Gary grazes his food right now, but could be trained to eat just two meals a day if that is needed. He thinks most dog treats are gross besides the soft beef ones, but is definitely up for a good bone and some chicken jerky strip chews. They have been around older kids and do well, no experience to comment on about young kids or cats though. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Jackson, MN Hi everyone! I’m Rocky and I’m a labrador mix puppy. I’m super gentle and sweet. But my foster mom says I’m also a little derpy. I’m crate trained and sleep through the night. I don’t bark much and I prefer to sit and watch the outside world through the glass patio door. You could say I’m an avid nature lover. I’m working on basic commands and I’ll pretty much do whatever you say for one of my favorite dog treats. I’m also getting the hang of this leash walking thing— and now I’m starting to get excited when my foster Dad wants to go for a jog with me. I’m still working on a consistent schedule with feeding and potty training because I’m the “goodest boy.” I'm good with people and other dogs. But I'm still a bit of a shy boy for introductions. I'm a love bug and I can't wait to find my forever home. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
