Details

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

Story

Tiko is a 60 lb shepherd husky mix (probably). We haven't done a DNA test. We got her from a rescue at 16 weeks old and she is 10 years old. Strangers often comment"cute dog" "handsome dog" "look at those ears". She loves meeting dogs on walks, and does very well in large off leash dog parks. She's getting better but is generally not good with dogs in enclosed spaces including her own house. She is an experienced skijor dog but definitely past her prime. She loves to walk and get her sniff on, and explore unleashed when possible (minnehaha dog park. Tiko knows a few tricks and is very food motivated. She loves chest rubs, ear rubs and thinks getting toweled off is like massage. She is friendly to people but not overly and she is not a licker (unless of course you've got chicken grease on your fingers). She hide when there is thunder. She is alert, communicative, and pack oriented. We want potential adopters to spend some with us and Tiko so that the transition is easier on Tiko.

Kevin

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

(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. He is a sincerely wonderful, playful, comforting companion who we know will make someone very happy.

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?

Story

Meet Wilma, a 2 year-old energetic Olde English Bulldogge puppy. Wilma has a lot of personality, she loves to cuddle and take naps. She loves to play in the snow (and loves to eat snow too). Wilma loves to be outside, she enjoys going on walks to the park, or playing outside with her ball.Wilma is looking for a new home that will better suit her needs. Wilma has had exposure to other pets in the household (cats, dogs). Wilma would do best in a single-pet home. She has a tendency to display her dominance over other animals. She has not been exposed to children in the household. Wilma is currently being mussel-trained for when she is in public settings.Wilma is such a sweet dog, she is great with people and acclimates well to new social environments. She can sometimes come off shy, but is quick to warm up to anyone.No adoption fee -- I want nothing more than to find a loving home for Wilma that is able to better support her needs.

Story

Edith is such a wonderful 10 yr old lil lady. 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),.She provides so much comfort and love but she is also very quirky- 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. She may take a bit of time to adjust- following you around the house with curiosity. She does need a home with people who have adopted in the past and are aware of rescue dogs needs. She will not do well in a home with cats. She is apprehensive at first and needs a little coaxing. She will do better with someone who works from home or part time. She has brought so much joy to my life!Again she needs an experienced adopter and a home without cats.
