Story
Luna is a wonderful pup that’s meant for an only dog household. She was trained by All Dog Unleashed and is amazing on walks! She knows basic commands. She comes when called and knows her name well.We are giving her up because she does not do well with our other dog. These two tend to trigger each other and this has been a hard decision for us. Luna loves toys, sitting close but not a huge cuddler, and FOOD AND TREATS. Luna needs a very consistent experienced person to help her with her resource guarding. We are only rehoming her due to the aggression she shows to our other dog. Luna has lifetime training support with All Dogs Unleashed.

Story
Location: Brooklyn Park, MN Are you looking for a new best friend? Joel would like the position! Joel could sit on the couch and snuggle right next to you all day. Pets are his favorite thing in the world! It is a little confusing to him that you might have something to do other than pet him, but when that happens, he often gets the hint pretty quickly and is great at resting nearby while you get things done. Joel is affectionate, attentive and picks up on new tricks quickly. He gets the occassional burst of energy and loves taking walks. He would be a great dog to take on adventures! He also settles well, doesn't bark much and sleeps great in his kennel at night. While he gets excited for treats, he is not overly motivated by food and shows no signs of resource guarding. Joel gets along great with the 10-year-old human who lives in his foster home, and is always happy to see her. The dog in his foster home is not as excited as Joel is to play, so they haven't spent a ton of time together. I think Joel would be fine as a solo pet or with another dog in the home who matches his energy and enjoys playing. He seems to have a stronger prey drive, so living with a cat may be difficult. Joel exhibits some classic German Shepherd traits too, including the occasional land shark behavior, so experience with that breed would be helpful. If you are looking for a best buddy to explore with, Joel could be the perfect dog for you! *Originated from: South Dakota Reservation. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Duluth, MN My name is Chandler. I enjoy lots of cuddles, but my foster mom says I am too big to sit in her lap. I like to run outside a lot and take many walks to get my energy out. My foster mom says I am smart too after I showed her how the lift latch works on the gate. When I am tired, I prefer to sleep in my doggy bed by my foster mom’s feet, but I also like to relax in the kennel when I am over stimulated. I get along good with cats and people, but sometimes other dogs scare me. I love to play with the other puppies at my foster home and snuggle with them. I even let the puppies eat out of my food bowl sometimes! I think I would like to be the only dog in my new home so I can relax and bond with my new owner. *Originated from: Shelter in Georgia. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Richfield, MN The most special man in the world, Bodie. 🥹 When Bodie came into our home, he was visibly defeated in many ways. Sad droopy eyes, insanely itchy, he couldn’t believe he was able to go outside multiple times a day and defaulted to going into his kennel because that’s all he knew. It took only a couple days for him to realize he was saved and welcomed into the good life. He is truly the best dog anyone could ask for. Bodie shares a foster home with 4 other dogs and 6 cats. He gets along with everyone with absolutely no worries. He is kennel trained as he feels safe and comfortable in there. He sleeps through the night peacefully and is completely potty trained. He loves to lay out in the grass and soak up all the sun. Bodie is such a special guy and deserves the best retirement home. ❤️ Originated from: Shelter in Georgia. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Sioux Falls, SD Opal is a tiny warrior wrapped in the softest, sweetest soul. After spending over a week in the hospital fighting parvo, she beat the odds with quiet determination. Now she’s learning how to enjoy the world again — slowly, softly, and at her own pace. This mellow little pup wants connection so badly, but eye contact can still feel a bit overwhelming. She’ll peek at you, look away, then try again. Her bravery comes in small, precious steps. Now that she’s feeling better, Opal has discovered two great joys in life: food and soft squeaky toys. She’s also the cleanest puppy her foster has ever met. While she’s still working on potty training, she does wonderfully with potty pads. Opal isn’t a fan of baths, but she adores soft, fuzzy pajamas — especially when the air conditioning feels chilly. She’s a comfort‑seeker at heart. Opal is searching for a patient, gentle home that celebrates tiny victories and understands that courage grows slowly. She may not be fully brave yet, but she’s trying every day, and she’ll blossom beautifully with someone who lets her move at her own pace. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
