Story
Location: Brooklyn Park, MN Are you looking for a new best friend? Joel would like the position! Joel could sit on the couch and snuggle right next to you all day. Pets are his favorite thing in the world! It is a little confusing to him that you might have something to do other than pet him, but when that happens, he often gets the hint pretty quickly and is great at resting nearby while you get things done. Joel is affectionate, attentive and picks up on new tricks quickly. He gets the occassional burst of energy and loves taking walks. He would be a great dog to take on adventures! He also settles well, doesn't bark much and sleeps great in his kennel at night. While he gets excited for treats, he is not overly motivated by food and shows no signs of resource guarding. Joel gets along great with the 10-year-old human who lives in his foster home, and is always happy to see her. The dog in his foster home is not as excited as Joel is to play, so they haven't spent a ton of time together. I think Joel would be fine as a solo pet or with another dog in the home who matches his energy and enjoys playing. He seems to have a stronger prey drive, so living with a cat may be difficult. Joel exhibits some classic German Shepherd traits too, including the occasional land shark behavior, so experience with that breed would be helpful. If you are looking for a best buddy to explore with, Joel could be the perfect dog for you! *Originated from: South Dakota Reservation. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Rice, MN Meet Bumper! This boy is playful, silly, smart, and FULL of personality! He may be blind, but he certainly doesn’t let that slow him down. He’s incredibly intelligent and has learned to navigate his world using his other senses. He’s an active, curious pup who loves to play and would really enjoy having a confident dog friend to keep him company. He’s still a pup with plenty to learn, but he has so much potential. He is potty trained and tolerates his kennel, although he’d much rather be near his humans! He currently lives with older children, dogs, and cats and does well with his furry friends. Because he can’t see, he would do best in a home without young children. His lack of vision can make unexpected movements or approaches difficult for him to understand, so a calm environment where he can feel safe and comfortable is important. He’s affectionate, intelligent, entertaining, and has so much love to give! He’s looking for a family who will see him for the fun, goofy, amazing dog he is, and who isn’t afraid to help him learn the ropes along the way. *Originated from: South Dakota Reservation. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: St Paul, MN Hi, everyone! I’m looking for my forever family. I’m a sweet little pup who’s just learning to play. I have three siblings who run around with me. We do well with the other dogs, cats, and kids in our foster home. I’m am slowly learning to go potty outside, but am young so this will take continued training. I usually eat once during the night. Would you be interested in letting me join your family?! *Originated from: South Dakota Reservation. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Ramsey, MN INTRODUCING YUKI! This sweet girl is looking for a family, and is hoping it is you! Yuki is a gentle, good-natured and smart girl. She is potty trained. In her previous home she learned to ring a bell when she wanted to go outside. She is kennel trained, but definitely prefers to be right by your side. She is the best friend you always wanted. Yuki can be skittish in a new environment, therefore she would love a patient family that will allow her to get comfortable at her own pace. A calm and predictable home with kids 12 and up would be best for her. Chaos can be to overwhelming to her. Her ideal home would include the following: Walking and squeaky tennis balls are an absolute must! She is an enthusiastic walker! She pulls a bit to begin with. She wants to get all the smells in, but she will settle down after a short time. Chasing and squeaking her tennis ball is a favorite pastime. A fenced yard to chase that ball and show off her zoomies. Yuki really enjoys chasing the cats. While she hasn’t been allowed to get very close to them, living with cats may not be a successful fit. Calmer dogs only. Yuki does not enjoy dogs that get in her face. If there is another dog in your home, it would need to be a more laid-back pup. She will need a slow, safe introduction to her new sibling. A window to observe the outside world. She likes to lay in the sun and see the goings on in the neighborhood. Though she has her playful and adventurous side, sitting beside you on the couch is her favorite way to wrap up the day. If you are a looking for the ultimate companion Yuki is your girl. She is excited to meet you! --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Hurley, SD Meet the Salad Litter! These tiny pups are hard at work mastering their most important jobs: napping, eating, playing, and learning how to be dogs! They’re soft, clumsy little bundles of joy who are already stealing hearts wherever they go. Their mama, Ambrosia, looks like a German Shepherd, and based on some of the pups’ features, there’s likely a little Husky mixed in too! The Salad pups love piling on top of each other for meals, playtime, and naps. They’re discovering the joy of chewing on puppy toys, soaking up cuddles from their humans, and giving the sweetest puppy-breath kisses. These little ones are looking for adopters who understand that puppies take patience, consistency, and lots of love. Their new families should be ready for potty training, teething, basic obedience, and all the adorable chaos that comes with learning how to be a puppy! Because socialization and potty-training routines are so important at this age, they’ll need homes where they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. If you’re ready to add one of these sweet salad sprouts to your family, apply to adopt today! Before you know it, one of these little pups could be snuggled right in your arms. *Originated from: South Dakota Reservation. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
