Story
Meet Lightning Bug! This precious brindle baby is searching for a family willing to work on building her confidence and social skills. Bug was surrendered to us at the end of August. She`s slowly been getting used to the shelter environment and staff, however she`s still quite nervous with new people and places. She only knew one home for the first year of her life, she grew up with her mom and the few humans she knew, but unfortunately didn`t get out to socialize as a puppy. Despite being shut down and unsure on intake, she was tolerant of all handling and cares done by our intake staff. She has not been introduced to cats yet, but enjoys the company of other dogs. If you think Bug may be a good fit for you, please give the shelter a call at 218-675-7297.

Story
This handsome 3-year-old pittie mix has come such a long way. When Todd first arrived, he was thin, scared, and clearly hadn’t had an easy life. With good food, gentle care, and patience, he’s finally filling out and showing his true personality.Todd is affectionate with the people he knows and trusts — he adores the staff who have helped him heal — but he’s cautious with new faces and needs time to feel safe. Because he’s protective of his food, toys, and people, he’ll need an experienced, adult-only home that understands resource guarding and can continue helping him build confidence at his own pace.Todd is not cat-friendly, but he does well around other dogs and enjoys their company once he’s comfortable.Once you earn Todd’s trust, you’ll find a loyal, goofy friend who just wants to be loved and understood. Call 218-675-7297 for more info. Paws & Claws Rescue & Resort is open Mon-Fri 8am-4pm and weekends by appointment only.
