Story
Aurora - Female 5 years old- birthday February 20th, 2019 Aurora has been with us since she was a pup, and she is such a good girl. She loves playing fetch, going on walks, running around with her human, snuggling, and treats. She is on the smaller side for huskies, since she was the runt of the litter. She gets along with children, but she gets a little angry at children who fall on top of her when walking, pull her hair, etc. So a home without small children is needed. II run an in home childcare so I am rehoming her hoping to find a more relaxed environment for her. No small dogs Cats are okay She will do best in a home where someone is there most of the time, as I have been home with her since we got her as a pup. A yard for her to run and play would be ideal, but not a requirement if you will be taking her on walks and to dog parks, etc. Rehoming fee of $400 We are located in Cold Spring, MN

Story
Gus is amazing with all animals and humans. He wants to be best friends with everyone. Very sweet and energetic, yet loves a great nap! Doesn’t bark unless he is really needing something. Loves being outside and playing fetch, loves snuggles. We really want Gus to go to a great home where he will get the attention he deserves, and be as loved as he is with us. Unfortunately we have to rehome him as our child has developed very bad allergies to him.

Story
Buddy is a 11 month old purebred Rottweiler. He is the best! He’s curious, cleaver and cute! We are moving and won’t have enough space for him to live his best life. We’re hoping to find someone that will give him love and attention, the space he needs to grow. He has met a few dogs in our neighborhood and does good. He has not met any cats that I know of. He was a little spooked by our neighbor’s ducks they were raising. They flapped their wings when he got about 4 feet from them and he jumped back and ran back to the house really fast. He also helped catch some mice out in the neighbor’s shed, he got pretty good at sniffing them out. He’s got a good amount of energy, but that’s to be expected as he is still a pup. We hate to see him go but are hopeful we’ll find his forever person that can give him the life we can not.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please help us by fostering  TODAY!!!!! ________________________________________________________ We try to evaluate  most of our adoptable dogs temperament  with a senior UDR rescuer before it goes into a foster home. This helps ensure we place it in the right foster home. We may have some dogs in rescue who are not on our website that we are getting to know and who may need a foster home. Our goal is to place dogs in the right foster and adoptive homes! Of course it is up to the fosters to further evaluate the dogs while they are living in the home.  New arrivals coming soon! We partner with Doberman Rescue of Northern Texas, High Desert Doberman Rescue and many other rescues across the US and world. We have new Dobermans coming in often and have the ability to take in a homeless Dobermans the same day we are contacted should we get a surrender request. We can always use fosters to be on the ready to foster one of these new arrivals!         Please apply on our website to foster, or give a shout out if you can help any of these dogs!! As always fosters get the first chance to adopt! You provide a safe, loving home with daily structure until your foster dog gets adopted. Time frame is anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months. If you have a dog, your dog may like a friend. We try match up the dog with the foster home best suited for each dog in need. UDR supplies all the dog food, some supplies and always pays for vet care. Going on vacation and worried you will have to find a place for your foster dog?? NO worries!!!Know we DO have numerous options for vacation boarding and doing temporary fostering of your foster dog while you take that much needed vacation. We are also in need of short term fosters, those foster homes who would take in a foster dog on a short term basis, a weekend, a week or two, even to help in emergency or medical situations. Please fill out our foster application today and help a dog in need!!!  Fosters get first chance to adopt their foster dogs, so this might be a great way to "test" out your new friend. Fostering has its perks!! Many fosters do join the foster failure club, meaning they end up adopting their foster dog! Why should I foster a dog? Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have (other than adopting, of course). By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re: freeing up a spot so a shelter can take in another dog. giving your foster dog the time he needs to be ready for adoption. helping us learn more about the dog so he can end up in the best home possible. socializing the dog to a home environment and possibly getting him used to being around other pets and different types of people. Thank you for helping us help them! Fostering saves lives. Be a hero, foster a dog in need!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Gizmo, a 2 year old Lab X, a little man with a BIG personality and a heart full of love. This adorable pup has earned himself several affectionate nicknames, including 'Mo', 'G', and 'G-man', all stemming from his original name, Gizmo. Giz man's unique blend of charm and determination makes him an absolute delight to be around. G gets along famously with other dogs and knows how to hold his ground when necessary. He's a real softie at heart, especially when it comes to snuggling up in cozy blankets, which he loves to messily rearrange to create the perfect resting spot. He even believes he's a pro bed-maker and is always ready to lend a helping paw! When it comes to playtime, G's energy and curiosity come to life. He's an avid chewer, so soft stuffed animals are a no-go, but he's all about hard chew toys that keep him entertained. He may not be a fan of water, avoiding the family pool and lakes, but he takes full advantage of sunny days to relax and explore the yard, sniffing to his heart's content. G is no stranger to adventure, enjoying car rides from short trips to the barn to long journeys all the way to Florida. He's a smart boy who knows his basic commands and walks well on a leash after a brief initial pulling phase. However, his stubborn streak may show itself from time to time, but it only adds to his endearing personality. This playful guy has a keen sense of hearing, which makes him attentive to every sound, though he's selective with his barks. He might make a great hunting partner? G loves the thrill of the chase and can't resist going after birds, squirrels, and rabbits in the yard. He's also fascinated by frogs and toads, often thinking they'd make for a tasty snack if given the chance! Yuck! While he may coexist with a cat, G-Mo has to be kept separate due to his natural instinct to chase when the cat runs. However, when it comes to people, he's a sweet and friendly companion, albeit a little shy initially. But that shyness quickly fades away, especially if treats are involved. This wonderful boy is up-to-date with vaccinations, neutered and chipped, ensuring he stays healthy and happy. If you're looking for a four-legged friend to bring love and laughter into your life, G-Man might be the perfect addition to your family. With his loving nature and mischievous charm, he's sure to win your heart in no time!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 26, 2024, 7:07 am
