Sky

Pomsky

Female, Adult

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

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

She was adopted this Spring from a local Rescue however my health has declined since then and am no longer able to walk her 2-3 miles a day and/or bring her almost daily to the very large Off-leash dog park so she can play with other dogs due to the cold weather. I also live in a senior apartment and there is NO enclosed area on the property where she can run and play without a leash, and have lots of other commitments away and she has to spend too much time alone and I feel like she needs a home where her human/s are very active outdoor even in the Winter and that don't have octogenarian health related issues. Sky will be 4 years old in 4 months, she has been a total sweetheart and it's very difficult for me to let her go but it breaks my heart that I cant give her the high energy lifestyle that she deserves and would do much better living in a house with a large enclosed yard to go out to play in as she loves being outside and especially likes to play out in the snow.

Poncho

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

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

Story

We adopted Poncho a year ago from our local humane society shelter. We adopted a 10 year old cat shortly before then and had hoped that they'd be able to coexist and be companions in our home together. Poncho is a excitable, cuddly, playful, and curious pup who loves walks, playing with other dogs, and curling up at our feet at the end of the day. He has attended and passed a 4 week basic obedience course (sit,stay, drop, etc commands) and is crate and house potty trained. Unfortunately, our cat and dog have not bonded as we'd hoped and our cats aggressive response to Poncho and his large size make us worried about potential harm coming to either or both at some time. Due to his size and love of people (still working on jumping up on strangers) he is not ideal for a family with young children. Poncho would be perfect for a home with no cats, no children, an ability to take him for a 20 min walk once a day, and willingness to cuddle up with him on the couch at the end of the day.

Special Needs

Oatie

Schnauzer (Miniature) Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Male, Adult

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oatie (short for Oat Milk) is a stray we found this summer in Minneapolis. He is very sweet and cuddly. He only barks when someone's at the door and when he's about to get fed - otherwise he is very calm. He enjoys road trips and hiking, and will lay in your lap the entire time in the car. He is not neutered, and has a heart murmur that would cause a challenge if he went under anesthesia. His major issue is that he is not potty-trained, so he wears doggy diapers in the house and has to be changed frequently.

Kallea

Husky

Female, Adult

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Kallea is my heart in dog form silly, sensitive, and full of life. She’s the kind of soul who follows you everywhere, makes you laugh when you need it most, and rests her head on your knee when words fall short. I took her in at one year old when she didn’t trust anyone, not even a touch and with time, she learned what love feels like. She adores her walks, her stuffed toys (say “toy” see for yourself), and the soft spot between her eyes being scratched gently (especially during nap time). She’ll dance for food, talk to you when you’re late, remind you how special it feels to be loved unconditionally. She was once bitten by a big dog, so she can be cautious, but her trust comes quickly and her joy is contagious. Life has become uncertain for me, and I can’t be selfish anymore. She deserves so much more. A stable loving home where she can feel safe, have her zoomies in peace, and the snuggles she can’t get enough of. She’s pure joy, & whoever gets her will gain a piece of magic.

Sugar

Jindo

Female, Adult

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Sugar is a 7 year old Jeju/Jindo/Shepard mix. Super sweet. Likes to be outside and would prefer to have a lot of space to run and explore. She is a very curious active dog. It breaks my heart, but I will be having surgery, and I need to rehome her as soon possible. I can no longer care for her. Please help us find the right home for her. In addition, I have moved to Texas and my son has small children. She has nipped at them. Mostly because the kids don't respect her boundaries. She is ok with other dogs as long as she is not crowded in with them. She would be great with one person who works from home. Or a farm with space to be off leash.
