He’s 6 years old. He thrives off of having room to run around. And be his goofy self. He loves being around people and will let you know it. It hurts me to have to rehome him but he is a very playful pup.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nellie a stunning 8-year-old blue Doberman girl with a classic cropped and docked look and a heart just as beautiful as her sweet eyes. She’s the kind of dog who turns heads everywhere she goes—and once you meet her, she’ll win your heart just as fast. She has some hair thinning and areas of hair loss. She may need a little extra skin care and a family who understands that her beauty shines far beyond her coat. She is also heartworm positive but has started treatment and is on road to recovery. Nellie is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves her people and enjoys being part of the action. She’s ready for a stable, loving home where she can settle in, be cherished, and finally stop worrying about what’s next. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a gentle soul and don’t mind a little “less fur, more love,” Nellie just might be your perfect match.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.United Doberman Rescue Adoption Process Application Submission: Complete the adoption application thoroughly.

Story
Location: Rosemount, MN Meet the lovely Foxglove. A quiet soul looking for a calm household to help her blossom. Foxglove is a bit of an introvert, but with time and patience, she will show you her gentle and playful side. She has a long list of wonderful qualities. *House trained *Not destructive *Great listener *Professional cuddler *Quiet housemate *Gently takes treats *Gladly accepts belly rubs *Loves to be near her people She is still working on building confidence and being brave, so a fenced yard would be the safest thing for her. It is unknown if she lived with kids, but too much chaos may be overwhelming. Kids 8+, and understand boundaries, would be best. While she hasn’t shown much interest in toys or playing, that could certainly change once she finds her perfect family. Are you active? Love the outdoors? Foxglove could be your girl. She totally loved running and rolling in the snow. She is happiest and most playful when out walking. She will show her excitement when the leash comes out. Leash skills are top notch. Getting in all the interesting smells makes her smile! A more remote or less traveled route can be beneficial while getting comfortable in a new environment. She seems to like dogs. She does walk with the resident dog, but hasn’t really wanted to interact. Again, in her forever home, she may show more interest. A dog that is very energetic may be too much for her. Are you someone with a soft spot for a shy, but sweet and loyal, companion? Apply to meet this gorgeous girl. She will definitely repay you with endless love and loyalty. --------------- 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 Michael, MN Hi! My name is Hoot, Holler is my sister. I would like to say I’m a playful pup, full of curiosity, but cuddling and annoying my sister are my favorite things to do. I LOVE toys and food…especially food. I will do anything for a piece of cheese. I am super outgoing and I love all the animals, yes even the cats, but I don’t think they like me back as much. The human says I can probably work on my coordination (whatever that is), and I don’t know what personal space is. I love to explore the outside, there’s so much to sniff! I am kennel trained, but not a fan of going into the kennel at first, but the human gives treats, so I guess that’s ok. She also says potty is for outside and that we’re working on it. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Eagan, MN Gualala is a bundle of energy and joy! She’s a playful, curious puppy who loves spending time with her siblings and is always ready for fun. Gualala is very smart and picks up on routines quickly. She’s food-motivated, which makes training easier, and is already making great progress. She’s currently getting used to crate training and is doing well—she even sleeps through the night! She’s also doing great with potty habits for her age—she goes outside when taken out and uses pee pads indoors. With consistency, she’ll continue to improve. Gualala has a wonderful temperament and is great with kids and other dogs, making her a fantastic addition to many types of families. She would thrive in a loving home that can continue her training, give her plenty of playtime, and shower her with affection. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Clear Lake, MN This fluffy teddy bear is looking for her forever family! Gallimimus is one of twelve adorable puppies and came into her foster home at 3-4 weeks old, so her favorite hobbies mostly include growing, napping, and soaking up all the cuddles she can get. She absolutely loves sleeping in your lap and will search out the coolest spot in the house for the perfect nap. She has an easygoing personality and is lightly playful — give her a chicken-wrapped bone and she’s one happy girl. When she’s not snoozing, she enjoys lounging outside in the grass or playing gently with her puppy sister. Gallimimus is sweet, content, cuddly, and already showing signs of being a wonderful companion dog. The best part at this age is she is very trainable! If you’re looking for a relaxed little shadow who loves affection and cozy vibes, this fluffy girl may be the perfect fit for your family. 🐾 --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
