Story
Location: Richfield, MN The most special man in the world, Bodie. 🥹 When Bodie came into our home, he was visibly defeated in many ways. Sad droopy eyes, insanely itchy, he couldn’t believe he was able to go outside multiple times a day and defaulted to going into his kennel because that’s all he knew. It took only a couple days for him to realize he was saved and welcomed into the good life. He is truly the best dog anyone could ask for. Bodie shares a foster home with 4 other dogs and 6 cats. He gets along with everyone with absolutely no worries. He is kennel trained as he feels safe and comfortable in there. He sleeps through the night peacefully and is completely potty trained. He loves to lay out in the grass and soak up all the sun. Bodie is such a special guy and deserves the best retirement home. ❤️ Originated from: Shelter in Georgia. --------------- 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 Opal is a tiny warrior wrapped in the softest, sweetest soul. After spending over a week in the hospital fighting parvo, she beat the odds with quiet determination. Now she’s learning how to enjoy the world again — slowly, softly, and at her own pace. This mellow little pup wants connection so badly, but eye contact can still feel a bit overwhelming. She’ll peek at you, look away, then try again. Her bravery comes in small, precious steps. Now that she’s feeling better, Opal has discovered two great joys in life: food and soft squeaky toys. She’s also the cleanest puppy her foster has ever met. While she’s still working on potty training, she does wonderfully with potty pads. Opal isn’t a fan of baths, but she adores soft, fuzzy pajamas — especially when the air conditioning feels chilly. She’s a comfort‑seeker at heart. Opal is searching for a patient, gentle home that celebrates tiny victories and understands that courage grows slowly. She may not be fully brave yet, but she’s trying every day, and she’ll blossom beautifully with someone who lets her move at her own pace. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

This girl will steal your heart and would love to do anything for you as long as she’s by your side. *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: Farmington, MN If you looked up “cuddling” in the dictionary, you’d probably find Bean’s picture right there! His soft eyes and sweet little look are enough to make you fold and give him anything he wants. And honestly, he knows exactly how to work those eyes! Bean is a lovable, medium-energy pup who has mastered the art of giving hugs and cuddles. He is so soft, sweet, and affectionate that once you pick him up, you may have a hard time putting him back down! Bean is doing well in his crate and is working on his house-training. He is wonderful with other dogs and loves to play. He is also a big fan of treats, which should make training a fun and rewarding experience for this smart boy. He has even done wonderfully with baths and nail trims—pretty impressive for a pup his age! We could see Bean fitting into just about any setting, from a home with a yard to an apartment, as long as he gets the exercise and attention he needs. An active person would be a great match for him because Bean would make an awesome hiking or trail-walking buddy. With continued socialization, we could even see him becoming your brewery sidekick! But at the end of the day, Bean is happiest when he is close to his people, soaking up all the love and giving plenty right back. Does Bean sound like your perfect match? ❤️ This sweet little love bug is ready to find his perfect person—and he’s waiting to give them all the hugs! *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).
