Story
Mac was born on June 6, 2020, and I shortly picked her up in July 2020. She has been my special girl ever since! Mac is full of so much personality and loves to play, run around, cuddle with her toys, and chase after squirrels that she's only caught a handful of times. She is shy with other dogs, but loves to play and entertain. Whenever someone comes home, she loves to sit and shake for a treat (or greet them with lots of excitement). Mac means the world to me, but being away at college means I can't give her the time, attention, and care she deserves. My mom has been taking care of her, but Mac has a bit too much personality with her and her lifestyle. Although it makes me incredibly sad to rehome my special girl, I know it's the right thing to do for her. Mac is microchipped and has received shots in her lifetime, but she is currently not up to date. She is also not fixed. She would love a home where she can run outside or at least be walked often.

Story
Benny is a 2 1/2 year old border collie. I purchased from a rescue in western WI in Oct 2025 when he was a year and an half. He is a good dog that has been a great companion for me but between my work schedule and some personal health concerns Benny is not getting the attention and exercise he should have. Although he is content when inside and self-entertains with occasional playtime with his toys I feel bad having him inside this much.Ideally a new home for Benny would include active adopters who enjoy being outside. Benny loves being out and going for walks, etc. Benny is friendly, affectionate, lovable, energetic, loyal, eager to please and always alert (as any good border collie should be :)). Benny loves playing with balls and having treats.Benny is ~50 lbs., up to date on all shots and his rabies vaccination is good until Oct 2028.

Story
This here is Rosie, she absolutely loves people but does not love other female dog. We had gotten Rosie 4 years ago at a shelter in St. Cloud. Rosie is 6 years old, 10-16-2019. We are looking for someone who can accommodate her for we no longer can. Our hearts are broken but it’s what’s best for both our gals. Rosie loves going outside, car rides, and loves attention. She does have a kennel, harness, collar, bed etc.
