Story
Luna. She’s a sweet, affectionate, smart, sensitive, highly intuitive, submissive dog - who loves playing, naps, romping in the yard, daily sniff walks, or just watching the birds & squirrels. She does absolutely wonderful with children & other dogs.What you need to know:She’s very submissive to humans & other dogs, meaning she lets out a drizzle of pee occasionally due to the excitement/overwhelming emotions she feels. It’s getting better the older she gets.She can be timid/shy at first when meeting & will back away to touch or become submissive & pee a little bit until she knows it’s okay.She will need a lot patience & time to get to know someone because of her sensitive nature.She gets nervous in the car & sometimes sick.She has never shown aggressive behavior towards a human or dog.She uses a gentle lead to go on walks because she is strong & will pull with just a harness.All she wants is to give love & be loved - taken care of by someone who understands her & her needs.

Story
About Me.  Glen is one of our special Ridglan Farms Beagles who recently got a second chance after spending the first year of his life in a commercial breeding and research facility. Now, he's discovering all the wonderful things life has to offer—soft beds, tasty treats, toys, and, most importantly, the love and security of a family. Meet Glen, a gentle soul ready to find his place in a loving home. At just under two years old, Glen is still discovering the world—and he’s doing it with a mix of curiosity and caution. He’s happiest when he can zoom around a fenced yard or play with other dogs, but inside, he’s a true couch potato who likes to hang out nearby, quietly soaking up the company of his people. Glen is learning what toys are all about and is especially fond of food (he’ll never say no to a tasty treat!). He gets along well with other dogs and is friendly with cats, though he sometimes tries to invite them to play. New people and situations can make him nervous, so slow introductions and a calm environment help him feel safe. Loud or unfamiliar noises—like sirens or trucks—can be scary for him, so he’ll need a patient adopter who can offer reassurance as he builds confidence. Potty training is still a work in progress, and Glen will need someone understanding as he continues to learn. His early life on a farm meant little human contact, so everything is still pretty new to him. But once he feels comfortable, Glen’s sweet, silly side shines through, and he’ll quietly admire you from his favorite spot. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little extra patience and love, Glen could be the perfect fit. He’s ready to blossom in a home that understands his gentle nature. Apply to meet Glen and help him discover how wonderful life can be! Foster Notes: Friendly once he is familiar with the person. But is skittish and will become anxious. He needs patience and understanding . He fears so many new things it all scary to him .   WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.

Story
Meet Mickey I am a really sweet, people-loving guy looking for connection.  I might be shy when we meet, but I don’t stay unsure for long. Once I feel safe, I lean in—literally. I seek out affection, attention, and reassurance, and I become a very happy, loving companion. I’m the kind of dog who wants to be near you, with you, part of your world.  I’ve got a playful, active side too! I love to run, so a fenced yard would make me very happy. Toys are still a bit new to me, but I’m starting to figure them out. Walks? We’re working on that—I can get a little unsure and would rather head back home—but with patience, I know I’ll get there.  And when it comes to cuddling… oh, I’m all in. I might bring a little chaotic energy at first (okay, maybe I’ll bounce off you once or twice ), but then I settle in and just want to be close. I really do love my people. What I’m Looking For: I’m going to thrive with someone who understands that confidence takes time to build. I’ll need: A consistent routine to help me feel secure Continued support with potty and crate training - I can wait 6 hours no problem before I really need to go. Why You’ll Love Me When you choose me, you’re not just getting a dog—you’re getting a companion who will grow with you, trust you deeply, and love you in that quiet, meaningful way that only a once-shy dog can. If you’re willing to give me a little time… I promise I’ll give you my whole heart. Love,Mickey Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.   The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org.

Story
About Me Meet Snowspot, a gentle puppy with a heart as soft as her name. She’s happiest when she’s close by your side—your little shadow, always ready to curl up for a cuddle or quietly chew on her favorite toy. Snowspot is crate trained and settles in easily overnight or when you’re out, making her a wonderful companion for a calm home. She’s friendly with children, dogs, and even cats, and she truly blossoms around people and pets she knows and trusts. While new faces and noises can make her a bit shy, she prefers to watch from a safe spot until she feels comfortable. With patience and gentle encouragement, her confidence grows every day. Snowspot is still learning the ropes like any young pup, so she’ll need continued training and positive socialization to help her feel secure in new situations. She’s food-motivated and eager to please, which makes her a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will be your quiet sidekick through life’s ups and downs, Snowspot is ready to find her forever family. Apply today to meet this special girl and see if she’s the missing piece in your home. ---------- WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.  Foster Home Pets: Meet & greets are scheduled after an approved adoption application Cats at The PURRfect Match Adoption Center (Andover, MN): Some cats may be available to meet during open hours Please visit our website for the most accurate information on this pet and next steps.

About Me My name is Bubblegum... nice to meet you! I'm the sweetest little shadow you’ll ever have! I'm looking for a family to love and follow everywhere—after all, I'm a true velcro pup who adores being close, especially if I can nap on your feet and get my ears scratched! Do that and I'll. make that face... you know the one! My days are a routine to thrive in, but they include a mix of playtime and cuddles. When tired, I'll sleep soundly in my crate. I enjoy quiet mornings, especially if I can play with my favorite squeaky toys (with Lambchop being my top pick!). I do so love short bursts of play followed by cozy naps. I'm always up for a treat! I'm learning new things every day—potty, crate, and leash training—all going great! I'm friendly with everyone—kids, dogs, and even cats. I'll get very excited meeting new friends—so excited that sometimes I jump up to say hello! ...yes, I'm working on my manners. I just get so excited to play with any other dogs! I'm not a big barker, though! In fact, loud noises like fireworks or motorcycles can startle me. And I'm still figuring out the vacuum cleaner. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy, playfulness, and lots of love into your home, I want to meet you. Apply today and let this sweet girl become your new best friend!   WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.  Foster Home Pets: Meet & greets are scheduled after an approved adoption application Cats at The PURRfect Match Adoption Center (Andover, MN): Some cats may be available to meet during open hours Please visit our website for the most accurate information on this pet and next steps.
