Story
Meet Miss Faith! She is a rambunctious, smart, sweet puppy. We estimate her to be almost 2 years old. She came to us from a severe neglect case, and was extremely skinny and unsocialized. She has come a long way since she was rescued, but still has a lot of learning to do. She loves her people once she trusts them, but has some insecurities, so slow introductions with people are key. She loves to snuggle, give kisses, and spend time chilling on the couch. She also loves to fetch and go for walks. Essentially, she is a puppy in a 2 year old body, that loves to love but has a lot of world to discover!! By the way she LOVES men, so if you are a guy looking for a new furry companion, she is your girls!!!Faith is curently in a board and train facility in LaCrosse WI (this is where her meet and greet will occur), where they are teaching her to trust new people. She does great with men and will give you a longing look until you decide to come over and say hi. She is slower to meet women, but if you avoid initial eye contact at first, and use her name with treats, she adjusts quickly. She has learned that fellow furry friends are a great thing and LOVES to play! She does have a lot of power behind her shenanigans so a larger dog is the best match. Small breeds may find her way too intimidating. She has never met a cat, but her interest in small fuzzy things such as squirrels is so great, we think a home without cats is a good choice.  Additionally, we would also recommend a home without young children. She is so powerful, that littles may get knocked over during play time. We think with more training and discipline, she could settle into a home with older kids, but now she just has too much enery behind her love. Ideally, we are looking for a patient, disciplined adopter that can help Faith learn and grow the proper way to associate with her humans and canine friends. We know she can be a champion for her breed, and we want a family that will help her do that. She is a determined, smart, goofy girl that needs boundaries and rules to learn how life works and teach her the tools to be successful! Please at least consider a meeting to see if she is a good fit for you. We think she is truly a diamond in the rough, that deserves to have a loving family! Faith's adoption fee is $475 and will arrive fully vetted, altered, and microchipped. If interested in Faith, please fill out an application at www.newbeganimalrescue.org ##989459##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please help us TODAY!!!!! UDR is in need of FOSTER HOMES for the following dogs:   ________________________________________________________ We try to evaluate  most of our adoptable dogs temperament  with a senior UDR rescuer before it goes into a foster home. This helps ensure we place it in the right foster home. We may have some dogs in rescue who are not on our website that we are getting to know and who may need a foster home. Our goal is to place dogs in the right foster and adoptive homes! Of course it is up to the fosters to further evaluate the dogs while they are living in the home.  New arrivals coming soon! We partner with Doberman Rescue of Northern Texas, High Desert Doberman Rescue and many other rescues across the US and world. We have new Dobermans coming in often and have the ability to take in a homeless Dobermans the same day we are contacted should we get a surrender request. We can always use fosters to be on the ready to foster one of these new arrivals!         Please apply on our website to foster, or give a shout out if you can help any of these dogs!! As always fosters get the first chance to adopt! You provide a safe, loving home with daily structure until your foster dog gets adopted. Time frame is anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months. If you have a dog, your dog may like a friend. We try match up the dog with the foster home best suited for each dog in need. UDR supplies all the dog food, some supplies and always pays for vet care. Going on vacation and worried you will have to find a place for your foster dog?? NO worries!!!Know we DO have numerous options for vacation boarding and doing temporary fostering of your foster dog while you take that much needed vacation. We are also in need of short term fosters, those foster homes who would take in a foster dog on a short term basis, a weekend, a week or two, even to help in emergency or medical situations. Please fill out our foster application today and help a dog in need!!!  Fosters get first chance to adopt their foster dogs, so this might be a great way to "test" out your new friend. Fostering has its perks!! Many fosters do join the foster failure club, meaning they end up adopting their foster dog! Why should I foster a dog? Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have (other than adopting, of course). By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re: freeing up a spot so a shelter can take in another dog. giving your foster dog the time he needs to be ready for adoption. helping us learn more about the dog so he can end up in the best home possible. socializing the dog to a home environment and possibly getting him used to being around other pets and different types of people. Thank you for helping us help them! Fostering saves lives. Be a hero, foster a dog in need!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dock Diver, ball player alert!!! Piper is a 6 year old, female Chocolate Labrador x Doberman who is truly an easy keeper, been there done that kind of dog. Piper loves swimming, dock diving, playing ball and going for walks/runs. She is an active girl who likes to be active with her family. Piper was surrendered due to her family expanding with babies. While she did live with a 2 year old, a home without young children under 10 will be best for Piper. Older children or teens who love playing ball, going for runs, playing in the water swimming and are respectful with dogs in general are completely acceptable for Piper! Piper does well with other dogs as long as she is properly and slowly introduced. This girl loves playing ball and swimming for hours! A good throwing arm would be a bonus for Piper! Dock diving comes to her as a second nature thing as she loves swimming, jumping off the dock and will do this for hours. All you need is a teen boy, a dock , a ball and Piper is happy as a clam! Piper would do well as an only dog, or in a home with an older dog. Piper does have a prey drive so no cats, chickens, rabbits or small critters. She might even like to go hunting with the proper training! Piper is fully vetted, spayed and ready to go to her forever home.  Please help us help this gorgeous girl find her happy ever after! Piper is spayed and current on vaccines. She is ready to come home and be your loyal companion today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 2, 2023, 8:06 am

Story
Location: Sioux Falls, SD Sally is a beautiful, athletic, intelligent girl. She is potty trained and starting to learn basic commands. She's alert and aware of her surroundings which makes her a great watch dog. Sally's learning how to walk on a leash without pulling. She still has the drive to chase squirrels and rabbits which distracts her on walks. However, she's a fast learner and wants to please. Sally loves belly rubs and giving/receiving love. She waits for you to call her up on the couch, otherwise she lays by the door or in her bed. Sally would love a fenced in yard to run and play, and an active routine. She is so cute with little kids giving them a kiss and will melt your heart with her sweetness. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org). Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration). Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Sophie, a 10 month old retriever mix who is in search of her forever home. Sophie is a sweet and gentle pup who loves to play with other dogs and for the most part will be an easy keeper. She can be a bit timid and scared of new things so would need an adopter experienced with fearful pups who could help gain her confidence. Sophie has been known to bolt in fear, so a fenced yard is a must for her safety. She is crate and house trained, and has been fully vetted. Sophie absolutely adores other dogs and going to the dog park. She would be best in a home with another canine companion. In fact, it would be wonderful for her to attend doggy daycare to help build her confidence. Although she wouldn't hurt a fly, Sophie might be scared of it. She would do well with cats and small animals as she has zero prey drive.  If you are looking for a loving and playful companion who just needs a little extra TLC to help her shine, Sophie could be the perfect addition to your family.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 2, 2023, 8:06 am
