Bobinski

Labrador Retriever

Male, 4 yrs 7 mos

DETROIT LAKES, MN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Bobinski is a handsome, neutered male black Lab with a heart as big as his smile. When he first came to us, he was struggling with severe hip dysplasia in both hips. After successful FHO surgery on his left hip—and a great recovery—our vet team cleared him at his 8-week recheck with no need for surgery on the other side! Now that he’s feeling good, Bobinski is ready to enjoy life to the fullest. He’s a happy, curious boy who loves going on walks, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with his people. Bobinski can be a little selective about his dog friends, so a proper introduction is a must. He’s been through a lot and deserves a forever home where he can keep smiling, adventuring, and being loved.

Pointer Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos

DETROIT LAKES, MN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Kahlua is a free spirited girl, with enough energy to keep not only herself going, but you as well! She likes to be outside to play or go on walks to sniff everything and also is full of whimsy that likes to tell her to explore, so she'd need some training or a good fencing/leashing system outdoors to remind her to stay and explore your home!

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi there! I'm Benji, a young adult dog with lots of love to give. I am a very good boy who is friendly, affectionate, loyal, playful, smart, funny, and athletic. I love to run around and play fetch. I'm very good at it too! I am a herding breed, which means I need someone with breed experience who realizes that I need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. I am very smart and trained easily with consistency and positive reinforcement. I can be good with other dogs but our personalities need to match and of course, we need proper introductions. I would be the perfect companion for someone who is active and likes to spend lots of time outdoors. Maybe you could be the one to give me a forever home?
