Story
Bubba is some sort of pointer mix and is about 4 years old. Such a sweet boy who has always welcomed affection and has such a love for life. When we found him, he was quite emaciated and required proper refeeding and lots of love. Our family felt as though he found us for a reason and therefore he has been at home with us, hoping his owners may respond to social media posts however this never happened and unfortunately, he was never microchipped. He is doing really well right now in regards to having gained appropriate weight and although we will miss him, we are not in a position to keep him long term. Bubba is a high energy dog that thinks he is a lap dog:) Requires ability to get significant amount of exercise daily. Loves walks, car rides and palling around. Knows basic commands. Walks well on a leash but requires redirection with bunnies/other dogs/some people as he will bark. Has started to play along fence line with neighbors dog. Warming up to our FIVE cats :)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Snoop is a 1-year-old neutered purebred, male Doberman, who was surrendered to UDR from the breeder with his two sisters. Snoop tends to be on the shy and timid side but his spirit shines through despite the challenges he has faced. Snoop is very loving with his foster mom and dad and embodies the playful and adventurous essence of puppyhood.  Beneath his lively exterior, Snoop reveals a vulnerability that only serves to deepen the connection with his caring companions. There are some men that do scare him so we can only venture at what his past may have experienced. Snoop will need a fully fenced yard as this boy can jump like a high stepping gazelle! Yes, Snoop can clear a 4-6 foot fence with ease. Snoop is fully vetted, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped and neutered! If you have room in your heart for a courageous soul in need of a understanding home, Snoop is ready to make a lasting impression on your life and be your loyal companion. Visit our website at www.uniteddobermanrescue.org to submit your adoption application and welcome Snoop into your home.

Story
Location: Ivanhoe, MN Hello everyone, meet CLYDE! This handsome guy is the perfect gentleman! He is potty trained and kennel trained. He has only spent time in a large 10 x 10 kennel, so I don’t know he would be in a smaller kennel. He loves his toys and can usually be found chewing his benebone. He seems to like all the dogs he meets, however, he doesn’t like to share his toys. Although he loves his doggie friends, he really likes to spend time with his people. Running and retrieving the ball in a fenced yard is ideal. He does get the zoomies! He walks great on a leash and can hardly contain himself when he knows it’s time to go! He does get very excited if he sees others on his walk, so we are working on manners. He has seen cats and is a bit apprehensive at first, but then is curious about what they do. He gets along with the resident cat. In his previous home he had trouble with younger kids, so respectful kids 12 and up is best for him. He has had some training. He knows sit, down, off, stay (although that one is tough to do at times!). He will gladly trade kisses for butt scratches any chance he gets. Clyde is an all around great guy! If you want an exercise buddy and couch cuddler he is your man. Please meet this guy, you will not be disappointed. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Mankato, MN Arista is a fun-loving pup who adores playing with her littermates. She has the sweetest face that you’ll want to smooch nonstop! She’s a smart girl who loves to watch and learn from her siblings, so she’s likely to pick up on training quickly. Arista does great with other dogs and kids and would thrive in a home ready for puppy playtime and learning. She’s not potty or crate trained yet, but with her intelligence and eagerness, she’ll catch on fast. Arista is a joyful, affectionate puppy who will bring endless smiles to her future family. 🐾💖 --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Apple Valley, MN Meet Peppa! Peppa little sweetheart will likely grow into a medium-sized dog. He’s the perfect blend of calm and playful—happy to romp around with his toys, but just as content to curl up for snuggles. This clever little guy is already showing off his smarts. He know sit, lay down, shake, and are doing very good with wait and leave it (about 75% mastered). He’s also working hard on his potty training. Peppa does great in his kennel at night, though he’ll never say no to a cozy spot next to his humans. Peppa gets along wonderfully with other dogs, kids, and even cats. He loves to follow his people around, quietly observing everything with his adorable little ears—quite possibly the cutest ears you’ll ever see! Peppa would make an amazing companion for anyone looking for a loving, loyal pup with a gentle temperament and a bright future. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Monticello, MN Hi there, I’m Gromit! I’m a curious, happy puppy with all the typical puppy energy. Always ready to explore, play, and see what’s going on around me. I currently have three furry siblings and I love them all…but shhh, don’t tell anyone, my favorite is my fur brother because he can really match my energy! I adore following my siblings around and when playtime is over, I’m always first in line for snuggles. There’s also this small looking dog in my foster home… I think it’s a dog? It hisses at me a lot, so I’m not totally convinced. Still, I’m very brave and polite. I just approach slowly and carefully to see if I can sneak in a sniff or two. I love staying close to my foster parents, but my absolute favorite human is the little one who mysteriously always has snacks to share. Honestly, I think we’re best friends. I’m learning that my kennel is my own little space and I’m doing a great job practicing, but right now I still have sleepovers on the big dog bed with two of my fur siblings. I sleep through the night with no accidents as long as I get a potty break before bedtime and I’m doing really well with potty training overall! I’ve made huge improvements since my first couple of days in my foster home and I get better every day. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow with a big heart, I’m ready to wiggle my way into your life. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
