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: Duluth, MN My name is Chandler. I enjoy lots of cuddles, but my foster mom says I am too big to sit in her lap. I like to run outside a lot and take many walks to get my energy out. My foster mom says I am smart too after I showed her how the lift latch works on the gate. When I am tired, I prefer to sleep in my doggy bed by my foster mom’s feet, but I also like to relax in the kennel when I am over stimulated. I get along good with cats and people, but sometimes other dogs scare me. I love to play with the other puppies at my foster home and snuggle with them. I even let the puppies eat out of my food bowl sometimes! I think I would like to be the only dog in my new home so I can relax and bond with my new owner. *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: Minneapolis, MN “On the Road” to finding his forever family, Kerouac is ready to write his next great chapter. Named after the iconic author, this 2-3 year old German Shepherd mix is a handsome, soulful boy looking for a co-author to share life's adventures. Here is what you need to know about this literary gentleman: The Plot: Kerouac is fully potty-trained and has excellent house manners. The Character: He is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle up after a long day of exploring. The Supporting Cast: He is very friendly with other dogs. He would absolutely love a dog companion in his new home, though he can also shine as your solo protagonist. His Hobbies: True to his wandering namesake, he loves daily walks to sniff out new stories. When he's relaxing at home, he contents himself with stuffed toys and bones. The Setting: Because he has a bit of that restless, adventurous spirit, he requires a yard with a secure fence to keep him safe during outdoor playtime. Are you ready to offer this sweet boy the beautiful, sprawling ending he deserves? *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: 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).

Location: St. Francis, MN Meet Leon! Leon is a sweet, goofy, and playful pup who is looking for his forever home!

Story
Location: Avon, MN Meet Aurora—she may start out a little shy, but quickly warms up. She is active, playful and wading/ splashing in her pool. She also loves digging, laying on the cots, chasing other dogs and playing with kittens. Aurora is only vocal when playing with her sisters. Like most puppies Aurora also enjoys chewing on sticks, lying in the grass, pouncing on her sisters, being misted by the water hose and and lying as close as possible to the outdoor fan to cool off before resuming their play. Then she likes to come inside and cuddle. *Originated from a 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).
