Story
Max is one of the sweetest dogs but can be shy at first. Loves to play and is very energetic. Love cuddles and belly rubs. Gets along great with our dogs. He is house trained but needs you go out more frequently than other dogs. Part of the reason we can't keep him is that we both work full time and I'll be starting law school soon and won't be home frequently enough. Needs to be mentally stimulated fairly often.

Story
Miata is around 4-5 years old. I adopted her from Rough Start Rescue. She is the cutest pup with medium energy. She enjoys going to the park and being outside. She loves to play tug of war or fetch, only she doesn't like to just give you the toy she wants you to try and get it from her. Mia will let you know when she has to go potty and rarely has accidents in the house. She can also be a snuggle pup or a lap dog. She likes to be close to her people. She also likes to snuggle under a blanket sometimes. Mia is honestly a really good dog other than a few behavior issues, like pulling on her leash and jumping up on people and more recently she's been resource gaurding. She likes car rides although they give her a little anxiety. I feel Mia would be great with a family as an only pet and no small children. She could use a little training in the behavior department. She has year round allergies, takes 1 daily medicine and sometimes needs an allergy shot. She very itching without it.

Story
Kiwi is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic pup with a heart full of love. Originally found as a stray on a reservation, she was taken in by the Humane Society, where her playful spirit and gentle nature quickly stood out. We adopted her when she was just a year old, and she has been a joyful part of our family ever since. Kiwi adores people, especially children and gets along wonderfully with other pets. She loves cats. She’s playful, social, and always ready for an adventure or a cuddle. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, playing with a furry friend, or curling up for snuggles, Kiwi is happiest when she’s with her people. As much as we love her, our work schedules and caring for a toddler mean we can’t give Kiwi the time and activity she thrives on. She deserves a home where she can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Kiwi would be a perfect fit for an active family, a home with kids, or a household with other pets.

Story
Location: Big Lake, MN ** Must have another resident dog in the home** Lightning is such a sweet boy. He came to his foster parents a scared and timid dog but is now so comfortable in the home. We weren’t sure how he would adjust but he has turned in to the goofiest, cutest little guy. He loves pets, toys, and other dogs. His favorite thing is playing with his fosters resident dogs. He would do best in a home with other friendly dogs. They help him feel confident in unknown situations and have really brought out his goofy side. He’s patient with the fosters cat. He would do just fine in a home with cats. I would describe him as medium energy. When he’s playing with other dogs he is very energetic but overall he’s a pretty chill guy. He loves going for walks, he does good on a leash. Doesn’t really mind other people or dogs when on a walk. He does okay being left out while the fosters are gone. He has had a few incidents of getting into things but is mostly fine especially with exercise before being left alone. Could likely be kennel trained with patience. He is mostly potty trained but we are still working on getting him fully potty trained. He has gotten a lot better since getting neutered recently. He is a mostly quiet pup, will whine for a couple minutes when the fosters first leave but settles down quickly. This guy is amazing, anyone would be lucky to have him. He had a rough life before coming into the rescue but he’s learned that being domesticated isn’t so bad. He’s having the time of his life in his fosters home. He may take a few days to warm up to you but once he does be prepared for the goofiest boy. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Alexandria, MN Meet Buttercup! Buttercup is a sweet, gentle pup who can be a little shy and reserved when meeting new people, but once she feels safe she becomes very loving and loyal to her people. Buttercup has low-to-moderate energy and enjoys both playtime and cuddles. She loves playing fetch and will happily bring the ball back so you can throw it again. She’s also extremely treat and food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. Belly rubs, snacks, and greeting her people when they come home are some of her favorite things. She is good with other dogs, but can be reactive when she sees them from a distance and does best with slow introductions. Buttercup doesn’t need another dog in the home, but a calm, friendly dog could help build her confidence. Buttercup is afraid of men and will need a patient home that allows her time to warm up. Because she isn’t familiar with toddlers, she would do best with older children. She sleeps well in her crate at night and learned potty training quickly. Buttercup cannot live with cats. She’s a very sweet, cuddly girl who has clearly had a difficult past and just needs a patient family who will give her the love and security she deserves. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: St Louis Park, MN Pharmacy (affectionately known as Macy) is such an easy dog to love! She was found as a stray on a SD Reservation with her adorable puppies and has been very excited to retire her "mom" duties and focus on being a care-free dog again! She's a smart, curious, goofy girl who will likely greet you with a boop and immediately ask for belly rubs. She gets along great with dogs and loves to run and play - she would thrive in a house with another younger or energetic dog who also loves to play. She also loves to be outside and would do best with a fenced in yard where she can spend lots of time hanging outdoors, sniffing around, and chasing squirrels. When she's relaxing, she likes to be cuddled up near her people where she can get pets and belly rubs. She is sure to be the perfect addition to a lucky family! --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
