Story
Odie's ideal home would be a busy hunting home or even a veteran that needs a full time Velcro friend. Odie has not gotten a fair start and sadly has been in 3 homes now and needs to finally find his forever home. He came to our home from a breeder with field training and loves to chase the birds, and is a good pointer and retriever. He is also an over grown lap dog that loves to cuddle, give kisses, play tug of war and fetch. Now the down side, he has proven that he would do best in a home with no other dogs or at the least no other male dogs. He would also be best with no children. He has proven to be ok with cats. Is house broken and crate trained. Neutered and fully vetted. He will be 2 in May. Adoption fees negotiable for the right home.

Story
Gemma is a beautiful, two year old pit bull. She is from Arizona, where she was severely neglected by her previous family. We found her in Scottsdale through The Desert Dog Project (thedesertdogprojct.org) rescue, which is run by a friend. At first, Gemma seemed like the perfect dog for us so we drove her home, to Minnesota. Gemma is clingy and has a lot of anxiety due to her previous neglect and abandonment. She needs a warm, loving home without other animals. We have trained her to leave our 3 cats alone, but it took some time and work, and from time to time, we still see the look in her eyes telling us she is thinking about attacking She seems to covet women over men but easily latches onto whoever gives her positive energy and attention. A perfect day to Gemma is to snuggle with you/at your side in bed, on the couch or simply playing shadow, as she follows you around the house. We are moving and cannot bring her sweet self with us. She is young but overall a really good dog.

Story
Her names Luna and she responds to Spanish and little English. We got her through a family member who got it from his neighbor. we took her in till we can find her a new home as we have a few ourself and no room. From what we see as we have her is that she’s not kennel trained at all, she will claw, bite pretty much anything to get out or she will just cry and cry. She’s very good outside the kennel for the most part, she loves to cuddle and play with toys and talks a lot when tryna play with her, sounds aggressive but shes not. She does get to play with one of the smaller dogs and gets along with him pretty well but we also have a reactive dog that got out and they fought for a couple seconds nothing bad happened but from that idk how well she does with older dogs. She really just needs a home where some one is willing to take the time to properly train her and give her a ton of attention and love, she really is a great loving dog when you get to know her.

Story
Hi! My name is Loki and I am a 4 year old Labrador/Golden Retriever. My parents adopted me from a breeder in Missoula, MT when I was 12 weeks old. I love to play fetch and lots of space to run around. I love to hunt and have been to hunting camp. Swimming is also one of my favorite activities! I come with some behavioral issues as I was attacked as a puppy by another dog. I do not get along with other dogs or children. I have bitten other dogs when I feel scared or threatened. I am a very good dog but have triggers such as toy aggression and around food. I am a very kind soul when it is just me and a loving family. My parents welcomed a baby boy and I no longer feel comfortable in my home as I do best on my own. I am currently very loved but for the safety of my family, I am looking for a new family to love me to my fullest extent.

Story
Dakota was adopted in 2019 from a rescue that brought her up from Alabama. She loves everyone and everything. She is obsessed with comfort so she needs a nice dog bed, human bed, or pile of blankets to sleep on. She truly believes she's a lap dog and will never leave your side. Here are the cons... if you cannot provide your undivided attention or a comfy place to sleep she will follow you and cry. She also has anxiety towards anyone touching her paws. You can't clip her nails so she has to take 2 different sedation medications and use anesthesia to be out under for a nail trim. She truly is a good dog but she needs someone who can give her enormous amounts of love and patience.

Story
I love this girl and she is full of joy and energy! She loves to run around the yard and have fun. Always keeping an eye on her humans too… she is watchful, smart and loves to solve problems. I hate to let her go, but I am moving across the country to the city and she deserves a bit of a yard to run and play in and I can’t give that her any more.
