Story
I was giving my friend a ride home 5 months ago and found him as a puppy in the street of Penn Ave N. I went through the proper procedure of reporting a missing puppy. He wasn't chipped, he cold, and hungry. I took him in when there was a waiting time and he grew on me. No one claimed him in 60 days, so I kept him. Just recently I had to renew my lease. I've been getting noise complaints from my neighbor about Mister's (the puppy) loud whining. I was told I can renew, but I can no longer keep him. Last month, I just found out that I'm pregnant. I don't want to risk homelessness in my condition especially in this weather. Was wondering if anyone had a heart for this cute lil puppy that can no longer have. Thank you for reading, I hope someone has a heart like me and open their home to him. I just can't no longer have him in mines😢

Story
We acquired our dog, Willow, from the Humane Society during COVID. Willow is estimated to be around 7 years old. She loves to run around and would ideally love a large yard or plenty of walks/runs. The new home should have plenty of time to give her attention, pets, and routine exercise. Willow is adventurous, caring, timid around most dogs, and loves her family.

Lolo

American Staffordshire Terrier Australian Shepherd

Female, Young
Minneapolis, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lolo is the sweetest craziest girl! She is a bit of an enigma since she is part pit part herding dog - for example, she loves to RUN, but hates the cold! She is still pretty rowdy and will need more training, but she is very trainable with treats and learns quickly. With structure and plenty of exercise and socialization in her life, she will blossom and thrive. We would be committed to her success in our household much more so if we didn’t also have cats - her prey drive has not let up since we adopted her 7 months ago. We wish we could keep her and will be unbelievably sad to give her up. She is such a sweetie and would do so well in our household if not for the kitties. Lolo (short for Loretta) would do best in a home with another energetic dog so they could play all day! She needs to get her energy out daily and our other dog is an old man who is interested but is not on her level. She can play rough so further socialization with other dogs would be great for her.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kal is a gentle, calm, snuggly, sweet, well-trained dog who gets along with everyone! He is easygoing and a joy to have around. I adopted Kal from a kill shelter in Montana last year and planned to rehome him in Minnesota, but I fell in love with him! His DNA test came back as 100% Alaskan Husky. Our time together has been so very special! He is very active and makes an excellent running partner, which we go on daily, but he would prefer a home with a yard, whether fenced or in the country, where he can have space to roam. He is fully potty trained, walks and runs great on leash, loves car rides, and is so quiet and gentle for a husky. He is affectionate, sweet and so easy to live with! Kal is looking for a loving home where he can enjoy space, love and companionship!

Minneapolis, MN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Prince is a handsome and sweet 11-year-old boy looking for a home where he can spend his golden years. He gets along great with other dogs big and small but shouldn't live in a home with cats. He's house trained and pad trained. Though he's technically a senior he's a pretty sprightly guy and would love to go on a walk or two. He would be just as happy snuggling with you on the couch. If you've got a spot in your home for a little friend, apply to meet him :)

Benjamin is very sweet, cuddly, very snuggly and will follow you everywhere, he does have arthritis setting in in his hind legs and his hind legs are partially deformed which doctor has said as long as he stays at 13 pounds requires controlled feeding and doesn't jump meaning he needs stairs for sofa and bed.... Doesnt ike his legs messed with and can be slightly aggressive with other animals. Has had one knee surgery with his knee cap banded in place has crooked front paw as well is also trained to wear doggie diapers inside when left alone. Would be a wonderful only dog with a lot of love to offer his new parent......
