Story

Luca here! Although I may look a little intimidating I have the sweetest kindest soul. I will require walks or some sort of enrichment as I do have energy to burn. I am altered, house trained, and up to date on all age-appropriate shots. My foster mom has this to say about me. "Luca does amazing with other dogs of all sizes, and cats! He loves to play and wrestle but loves a nice cozy couch to cuddle up on when it's time to relax!" She also said they are working on getting me used to a leash, but I do good on a slip lead. Contact 507-451-4512 or steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com to set up a meet-n-greet. My adoption fee is $350.

Story

Arlo here! Hey! I am new to this foster-thing so right now I can be a bit shy and timid, but then I warm up as long as the person is calm – slow and steady movements will help me be able to trust you (I did not come from the best situation). Until I warm up, I tend to hide under chairs or tables. Also, I am not aggressive to anyone. I love to snuggle with my "person," but I am also very comfortable laying on the couch by myself for a nap. My foster mama said I am very calm and well mannered! She also noticed I am not food motivated, so it can take a little bit of coaxing to get me to eat sometimes. I am not a huge fan of the kennel either, but I am slowly warming up to the idea of being in it at night. I am great during the day and have not had to be kenneled up – I’m a very good boy! I am altered, house trained, and up to date on all age-appropriate shots. Contact 507-451-4512 or steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com to set up a meet-n-greet. My adoption fee is $350.

I was returned after 6 years with my last home. I was not so friendly with my foster sisters when I got here. I finally got use to being around other dogs and am learning to be part of a pack. I'm gonna need a strong alpha parent to help me to continue to grow out of my shell. I've never been around other puppers. I'm potty trained and have never had an accident in the house. I like to eat by myself and I may take all day to eat my food. I'm a lovey dove and love to be loved on. I try to be bossy and need reminding that I don't have to be bossy. I will follow you around anywhere you go.

Cotton

Australian Shepherd

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

Northfield, MN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Cotton’s time has been beautifully spent. He’s learned to safely navigate a world that he can’t fully see or hear. He’s earned the nickname ‘Fake blind dog’ for his incredible ability to overcome the challenges and obstacles that he was born with, lived through and now has conquered. He moves with the absolute swiftness of a skilled herding dog. He is every bit as confident and agile as his canine counterparts.Beyond his improved physical abilities, Cotton has continued to make strides in his dog to dog relationships. It’s difficult in the canine world for Aussies that can see and hear. Their intense nature, quick movements, desire to herd, and demand for order can often be misunderstood by other dogs. When the ability to quickly read another dog is diminished by lack of vision or hearing or both- it can easily result in reactivity. Cotton has used his time here to learn to read cues his way. He’s learned to trust and play. He’s mastered fun and that should always be a priority. He’s also learning who to avoid, how to exit gracefully and that the humans do have his back. Cotton has embraced the life he’s living. He has worked so hard to be good and do good. He has more than earned his place in this pack, this home, this organization, this community and this world.He still needs a home of his own. This place he lives is wonderful but it’s not his wonderful. It’s a resting spot. A wayside stop. A layover. Cotton needs people that wake up every day happy and excited that he is there. A home that grabs him an extra treat when they are out. A grandma that extra spoils him. A kid that cannot wait to get off that bus to play with him. A bed that is just his. A family.Cotton has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on his vaccinations. He has tested negative for heartworm disease.His adoption fee is $350.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you would like to meet this beautiful boy.

Nessie

Australian Shepherd Australian Cattle Dog

Female, 1 yr 9 mos

Story

Spice & spunk that is what Miss Nessie is made of! This fun and active girl is about 1.5 years old. She is a girl that loves and needs to work. Her work can look many different ways! Agility, obedience, herding, running companion, hiking buddy, fly ball ruler- her options and your opportunities are endless!Nessie is great in the house and a champion at crate time. She is incredibly smart and devoted to her people and any activity they take her along to! The opposite side of a fantastically active, fun dog - is that they rarely have an off switch and you are rarely afforded an off day! But they are worth it! Worth cold, wet walks. Worth late night summer runs. Worth the extra time and effort.Nessie has done a fantastic job while in rescue of figuring out how to socialize and tolerate other dogs. She’s learned how to appropriately initiate play! That getting told ‘no’ by other dogs is part of life. And that too much attitude and friends don’t want to be around you. She still has work to do in her dog to dog relationships but she has made HUGE strides. She gets that the people are here to help and maintain order- we don’t need her assistance ?? It a beautiful place when they recognize this piece! She looks to her people if she has a concern- no longer wants to handle it on her own.Nessie needs a home that knows and understands herding/working dogs. She is so much more than an adorable girl with a beautiful coat. She is smart, willing and driven. She deserves a home that recognizes her awesomeness and encourages her.Nessie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. She has also tested negative for heartworm disease.Her adoption fee is $450.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you would like to meet this awesome girl!
