Story

Edith is such a wonderful lil lady. Adopted 15 months ago- she is a puppy mill mom who was kept in a kennel for 7 years. It has been amazing to watch her grow- learning steps, great at walks, bonding with other dogs (very curious, we have been working on introductions with new dogs- too excited, needs more socialization). She is a very quirky lady- snorts around when digging in blankets, sleeps with her head on the pillow next to me, poops while walking, afraid of her reflection- mirrors and shiny objects. Loves walks- hates the cold. Sleeps most of the day- gets random burst of really cute playfulness around 4:00pm. She will wake you up around 6:30am to go potty and will go right back to bed. Fenced in yard is best- she loves to run around. She may take a bit of time to adjust- following you around the house with curiosity. I recently had unexpected cervical spine surgery and am not able to give her the care she deserves. She has brought so much joy to my life.

Story

My wife and I clicked with this little puppy at Four Paws and a Tail and just had to take her home and name her Carmella! She’s now 10 weeks old and an absolute sweetheart when she’s calm. She does LOVE to play so it’s important that naps/ calm time are enforced. She’s 100% a lap dog and will sleep on you or in your arms all day if you let her. She just needs a loving family that can give her more time and attention than my wife and I can right now. Would be happy to give all our supplies (toys, food, pen, crate etc.) to the new family!

Bailey

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Young

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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 which has done wonders. 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 is so sweet and cuddly, we wish we could make it work but needs a home with a seasoned dog owner with a yard and no cats. We just want him to be in a home where he’s safe and loved.

Uggie

American Bulldog

Male, Adult

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

The 90lb Gentle Giant of a Lap Dog: Meet Uggie Uggie is a 90lb powerhouse with the soul of a teddy bear. A classic American Bully with a "daunting" look, he’s actually the world’s worst watchdog—he’d sooner show a burglar the treat jar than bark. He truly believes he’s a lap dog and craves constant physical contact. If he isn’t leaning against you, he’s snoring so loud you’d think a lawnmower was starting up. Personality & Skills: Gentle Giant: Bell-trained, knows "sit," and very quiet. The Surgeon: Can extract a toy squeaker in under 10 minutes. Eager Learner: Highly treat-motivated and thrives on a schedule. The Ideal Match: Uggie is strong and powerful, requiring an adopter experienced with big breeds. This is a heartbreaking choice driven by health and financial changes; he deserves a home that can provide the care he needs. We love him deeply and need someone who will cherish his big heart and "Bully snores" just as much. Is your lap (and heart) ready for Uggie?

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

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

Story

I adopted her from the Bond between in January. They have too many surrendered applications and suggested I try this. She’s incredibly cuddly, friendly, loves to zoom and then crash for a long nap. Wants to sleep in bed with you. Can shake and sit. She’s 3 years old, and has had a litter of puppies at one point but is now spayed. All vaccines are up to date. I am in a position where I can no longer keep her and am not asking for an adoption fee just a good home.

Kevin

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, Adult

Minneapolis, MN

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

We adopted Kevin in 2018 and were immediately won over by his expressive face and joyful, vibrantly playful demeanor. He’s been the best dog we’ve known ever since.He's a 25 lb terrier mix who came to MN from Oklahoma. His DNA shows a blend of herding breeds with poodle and guard-dog lineage—making him a watchful, athletic, and affectionate companion who loves attention.We are rehoming Kevin because his needs have grown beyond what we can safely meet. In the past year, he has escaped through unattended doors/gates three times—once resulting in injury after confronting another dog, and another involving a bite to a neighbor’s ankle. His bite history also includes our daughter when she began walking.Despite helpful interventions we've implemented (anxiety meds and in-home training), we're not able to meet his needs and give him a high quality of life as we have a second child on the way. He is a sincerely wonderful, playful, comforting companion who we know will make someone very happy.
