Story
Ellie was acquired in April of 2024 from a Rescue here in Minnesota. Her home was in Texas, and she came with heartworm and had major anxiety with shadows, lights, and abrupt noises. We worked with her to make her home with us, and it has worked well for the last year and a half. Recently, however, we have also started fostering a new human baby, and Ellie's jealousy and anxiety have caused her to be aggressive towards our other little dog in the home. They used to be friends but something changed. We are not able at this time to work through this problem in her life at this time. Ellie sleeps in my 15-year-old daughter's room and loves people. Ellie has had trouble controlling her jealousy with the other dog in our home as if there is a dropped treat or a morsel of food, she may attack the other dog because of the food or a toy that Ellie desires. She does a good job listening as she knows the words no, and stay. But occasionally she is very aggressive to other dog.

Story
Looking to re-home our male Heeler mix, Jack. He will be 2 in December, is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He knows basic commands such as sit, here, wait, up, down, kennel. He is house trained and crate trained. He does well with other dogs and kids. He does well with cats if they are used to high energy dogs. One of our cats is still a kitten and they do great together. Our older cat is afraid of him as he does chase him. He likes to play, loves affection, and is always looking to please. Jack would best thrive in an active household. He would do fantastic on a farm as a working dog with a job, on acreage, or in a large fenced in yard. As a Heeler, his herding instincts tend to kick in and he will chase people walking and biking. He is a good dog, however he is not a good fit for our household. We do not have the time to provide him with enough mental and physical stimulation that he needs. Jack loves chew toys, walks, and the dog park.

Story
I rescued Baz from a local shelter that's well known for adopting out sick animals and lying to adopters about it then refusing to help with medical bills. I've had him 4 years, he's 95% purebred 5% ??? I have to re-home him due to my own medical issues recently that have changed my life forever and he deserves better than I'm about to give him now. He's great with my disabled daughter and my other dog but absolutely hates cats. He has anxiety issues around loud noises like thunder and fireworks but hates anyone knowing that! He's a loving, snuggly, goofy, crazy alien boy with about a million nicknames now. I'd prefer him to go to a home with a fenced in yard but he's used to being on a lead and/or taking walks. He's trustworthy enough for me to leave him home alone not in a kennel and come back to find everything exactly as it should be! I don't want to let him go but it's in his best interest - this is breaking my heart! Let me know if you have any other questions!

He's a sweet, loving, playful, energetic dog but he needs more outside time, playtime and just overal attention than we can currently offer. He has lived with young kids and two adults his whole life. Hes always been the sweetest boy with our kiddos and loves to shares snack time with them and get cuddles and scratches. Zero loves to RUN so you need a fenced in yard or an invisible fence or have the time to go to dog parks with him. Please help me find his next forever home

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Letti is a young playful dog that is great with toddlers, kids, adults, cats, and other dogs. However, she has started going after our chickens. She would probably do best on a property with plenty of land or in a house with a fenced in yard. She knows sit, down and come. We've been working on heel and stay. She is crate trained and fully vaccinated including rabies. She did have incontinence issues when younger that we treated with cranberry supplements and pumpkin seed powder which seemed to do the trick as she is no longer on those supplements. She does great in her crate at night and doesn't make a sound. Some negatives is that she has gotten into our garbage and will dig if she comes across a rodent in the yard.
