Story
Ziegler (Ziggy) is a sweet, curious guy who loves being wherever his people are. True to his Shepherd side, he enjoys keeping you company and will happily follow you from room to room just to be part of the action. He does great free-roaming the house when his fosters are out, but he can also settle nicely in his kennel after about 10 minutes if needed. Ziggy absolutely loves being outside—walks, playtime, and exploring are some of his favorite things. Because of how much he enjoys being outdoors, a fenced yard is a must for him. Ziggy gets along best with female dogs and would be happy to have a canine buddy to play with. However, he cannot live with cats. He would do best with kids 4 and up. Ziggy is a friendly, enthusiastic boy who sometimes forgets how big he is when he gets excited, but his heart is always in the right place. His fosters have started working on training and manners with him, and he’s been doing well! His future family should be ready to keep building on that progress—either continuing training at home or working with a trainer to help him become the best boy he can be. When the day winds down, Ziggy’s favorite place is right next to you (or on you). He’s convinced he’s a 72-lb lap dog and loves nothing more than a good snuggle. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who’s equal parts adventure buddy, playmate, and cuddle companion, Ziggy might be your guy. Adoption fee is $450+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Meet Kia, a GORGEOUS young gal who is smart, affectionate, and loving everything life has to offer- cuddles, toys, and belly rubs! Kia is potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. She's very loyal and affectionate, and she loves to snuggle—personal space not included with this gal! She plays well with other dogs after a proper introduction, but would also be happy as your one-and-only. No cats or small animals though! Kia would thrive in an active home with a fenced in yard or a household that likes to adventure before a good round of naps and cuddles. Ready to give this sweet, silly, toy-loving girl the forever home she deserves? Apply at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee: $450 + tax

Story
Meet Vivi! Vivi was found as a stray and ended up in animal control before coming to rescue. She is estimated to be around 10 years old, but she definitely didn’t get the memo—Vivi has plenty of energy and a tail that seems to wag nonstop. She’s a happy, curious girl who loves to be part of the action. If something moves, Vivi wants to check it out! She enjoys playing and still has a fun, youthful spirit. Vivi is a smart girl who knows “sit” and understands “no.” She appears eager to please and is learning that calm behavior earns attention and pets. She is also very good motivated. 😉 She’s quiet in her kennel, keeps it clean, and has not been destructive in her foster home. After a couple of initial accidents (normal when adjusting to a new home), she’s doing well going potty outside. She LOVES walks and belly rubs!! Vivi has met the resident dog in her foster home and did fine, but she can be a little enthusiastic and barky and is still learning doggy boundaries. Because of this, she will need slow introductions with other dogs. Vivi can also be a little sneaky around doors, so adopters will need to be careful when coming and going. She should not be off leash unless in a securely fenced area, as she does enjoy running. She is not a fan of small squeaky fast-moving kids but older kids are ok. Vivi is not a fan of apartments and wants to protect her owner so will bark at strangers. A house with a fenced yard is best for Vivi. If you think Vivi might be the right fit for your home, please apply at www.campcompanion.org. Her adoption fee is $450 plus tax

Story
Meet Glenda and Lucky! These girls are 14 year old sweet hearts. Glenda (white/brown) weighs 11.30lbs and is a Jack Terrier Mix, Lucky (brown) weighs 16.96lbs and is a Doxie mix.Lucky and Glenda came to SDR after they had been left alone for 6 months with someone coming in to feed them once a day. Both girls were in rough shape. Both had lost a lot of hair and had bald patches . Lucky’s toe nails were so long that they curled into the pads of her feet. Every step was painful. Understandably both girls are very timid and apprehensive with new people. Lucky warmed up to her foster mom within a couple weeks and Glenda has warmed up, but is very scared of new people. Both spend most of their day sleeping. Both are potty pad trained. They need to stay together as they are bonded. Glenda likes to take care of Lucky, licking her ears or face.They need a calm household with not a lot of people going in or out. They get along great with other dogs but Glenda will chase cats.Our vet recommends that Lucky stay on a prescription low-fat diet for the remainder of her life. Her values have not completely normalized, so they believe she is going to bea chronic low-grade pancreatitis patient for the rest of her life. This means that the next owners will have to be very strict about not giving fatty items as treats. Ideally, just fresh fruits and veggies. Lucky had a dental cleaning with extractions and senior bloodwork while in SDR care. Glenda also had a dental cleaning with extractions and senior bloodwork while in SDR care.Glenda and Lucky's adoption fee is $500 + MN sales tax- You must fill out an adoption application before you are allowed to meet the animal. Please complete the adoption application located on our website: https://smalldogsminnesota.org/adoption-application/- Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philosophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, it must be charged.- Please note that we do not have a shelter, and all dogs are in foster homes. Since we strive to provide the best possible care for our animals, sometimes we cannot answer emails promptly. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to you.- You must be 18 years of age to make an adoption request.- A healthy pet is a happy pet!

Story
Maddox 💙 **Blind, Brave, and Full of Joy** Meet Maddox, a one-of-a-kind boy who proves every day that obstacles are no match for a happy heart. Maddox may be blind, but don’t tell him that! This playful, energetic pup lives life at full speed. He loves other dogs, zooming around the backyard, and making everyone laugh with his goofy personality. In fact, he's so smart that he learned how to use the doggie door on his very first day at his babysitter's house and had the layout of the home and yard figured out within 24 hours—with a little help from his doggy friends. Maddox's journey hasn't been easy. He was found wandering the streets of Mexico after what was likely a traumatic accident that left him blind. Despite everything he's been through, Maddox has chosen joy. He wakes up every day ready to play, explore, and love. While he can be a little cautious when meeting new people, once he realizes he's safe, his walls come down quickly. These days, he's become his foster parent's little shadow, happily following them around the house, asking for snuggles, and soaking up all the love he can get. And trust us—when Maddox leans in for affection, your heart won't stand a chance. Maddox is searching for a special family willing to give him a little patience while he learns a new home. The first day or two may require consistency, kindness, and understanding as he maps out his surroundings and gets comfortable with his people. But once he settles in, you'll discover an incredibly loyal, loving companion who will fill your home with laughter and happiness. **Maddox's Ideal Home:** 💙 May be best without small kids 💙 Patient adopters who will let him move at his own pace 💙 A family willing to continue helping him with potty training and leash skills 💙 A consistent routine to help him thrive 💙 Someone who appreciates a dog with a huge personality and a zest for life Maddox doesn't need a perfect home. He just needs a chance. A chance to keep proving how resilient he is. A chance to trust. A chance to love. And a chance to show one lucky family that blindness doesn't define him—it simply makes his story even more remarkable. If you have room in your heart for a brave little survivor with endless love to give, Maddox is waiting to meet you. 💙 *Maddox isn't looking for someone to rescue him. He's looking for someone to share his adventure with.*

Story
Meet Your Personal Welcome Committee! 🐾❤️ This adorable 7-year-old Shih Tzu may have spent the first part of his life as a breeder dog, but these days he’s making up for lost time by discovering just how wonderful it is to be loved. His signature move? The “I’m SO HAPPY You’re Here!” Zoomie Routine. The moment he spots his favorite person, he comes racing over, does excited little circles around your feet, zooms away, and then immediately zooms back for another round—just in case you didn’t fully appreciate how thrilled he is to see you. This sweet boy is a world-class snuggler who firmly believes that human laps were invented specifically for Shih Tzus. He likes being held, loves being petted, and would happily accept a full-time position as your personal cuddle consultant. He has embraced the comforts of indoor life and will often tuck himself into his kennel when he’s ready for a nap or some quiet time. It’s become his own little safe space where he can relax and recharge. While he’s settled into foster care, he’s still learning some of the basics of living as a beloved family companion. He is currently working on potty training and will need a patient family committed to helping him continue his progress. Because of his breeder-dog background, he is not leash trained and is most comfortable in a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore. An above-ground fenced yard is required for his adoption. This little guy also has a funny independent streak. Although his foster has provided dog stairs, he prefers to launch himself over the top of the dog stairs to get off the couch like he’s training for the Puppy Olympics. Because of this, he’ll need a family willing to help lift him on and off furniture to help keep him safe. What he lacks in life experience, he more than makes up for in sweetness. He’s a happy, goofy little lovebug with a heart full of affection and a personality that will keep you laughing. If your home could use a little more laughter, a lot more love, and occasional bursts of joyful zoomies, this charming little guy may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. ❤️🐾 Requirements & Important Information: • Above-ground fenced yard required • Not leash trained • Working on potty training • Freely uses his kennel for naps and quiet time • Needs assistance getting on and off furniture to prevent injury Apply to adopt: www.campcompanion.org Adoption Fee: $450 + tax
