Story

Lady is a sweet and affectionate dog who came to us from my fiancés stepmother. She is a high-energy dog who enjoys staying active and especially loves going on walks. Lady does well with other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can get regular exercise and attention. Lady is crate trained, potty trained, and knows basic commands including sit and shake. She is a smart dog who enjoys interacting with her people and learning. Due to her sensitivity to busy environments, Lady would do best in a calm home without children or frequent visitors. She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an active dog and who can provide a stable, quieter environment where she can feel comfortable and secure.

Zeus

American Staffordshire Terrier

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Zeus is a very lovable dog who enjoys giving kisses and being petted by the people he loves. He has a gentle, affectionate personality and makes a wonderful companion. Zeus enjoys running and playing outside, but he’s just as happy relaxing indoors on the couch or in his bed. He’s generally very quiet and rarely barks. While he can sometimes feel a little anxious around certain larger dogs, he typically gets along well with others. Zeus would do best in a home with a person or family who has the time to give him the attention he deserves—taking him on walks, playing with him, and simply enjoying his companionship. He’s a great dog with a lot of love to give. I care deeply about him, but due to frequent work travel, I’m unable to provide the time and attention he needs, and I want to make sure he finds a home where he will be well loved and cared for. 🐾💙

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sadie is a very loving and happy dog. One of her favorite words is "go say hi" as she meets a new person. When she see's her people she wiggles head to toe wagging her tail with joy. She is a great listener and a steady demeanor. She loves to go on walks, car rides, or snuggle. Anywhere her people are is where she wants to be. She can also be on her own for extended periods if her people work away from home. She is potty trained and has a ton of commands she knows. Sadie has moderate engery levels and is generally an easy dog. Her favorite phrases are "Go say hi", "Go for a walk", "Go for a ride" and "Treats!". She loves to get attention and cuddle with her people. Funny quirk is that she is surprisingly a pillow princess, she will find the softest pillowiest spot to make herself comfy. Sadie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.

Story

Dudley is an 8-year-old French Bulldog who is happiest being your low-key sidekick. This affectionate and loyal guy is low-energy, gentle, easy-going, and does well with people and other dogs with slow introductions.Day to Day routineDudley had IVDD intervertebral disk disease, a back condition common in Frenchie's when he was 5. He is healed and had no further complications, but has some lingering hind-leg weakness, so he does best in a home with minimal stairs. He enjoys a relaxed lifestyle with short walks and lots of lounging. Ideal HomePatient adopter willing to keep a simple care routineBully breed experience preferredHome with minimal stairsIf you’re a kind and patient person who finds joy in helping a sweet dog live comfortably, Dudley will pay you back with loyalty, cuddles, and love every day.Due to a recent move to a home with multiple levels, and a job that requires travel, I’m looking for a setup that better supports Dudley’s mobility and long-term comfort.

Bailey

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Labrador Retriever

Male, Young

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My stepmom passed away recently after a very short battle with cancer and her wish was that, as the dog people of the family, we adopt her dog. Bailey’s training has been shoddy. He gets along ok with our other dog but is reactive with other dogs on the street. He has had limited experience with leash walking but we’re now walking him 3-4 times a day. He has had experience with boarding and did fine. We live in a condo so we’ve got him wearing a bark vibration collar so he won’t bark at every noise he hears. He is used to his crate. Some of his behavior quirks we believe we could work through, but his interactions with our cat are the reason we don’t think we can keep him. We do have access to his vet so can get medical info as needed. He’s a sweet numskull who is incredibly cuddly but needs a home with a seasoned dog owner with a yard and no cats.
