Story
Hi there! I’m Darby — your future best friend and professional snuggle buddy! 🐾I’m a mix of Labrador Retriever and Australian Cattle Dog, which means I’ve got a big heart, a loyal spirit, and a thoughtful, sensitive soul. I may not be the first to run up and say hi, but give me a little time and patience, and you’ll see — I’m full of love just waiting for the right person to share it with.I’ve mastered the basics like house training and I’m great on a leash now — walks are one of my favorite ways to spend time with my people! I get along well with other dogs, especially with slow, gentle introductions that help me feel safe. I currently live with two dog siblings who look a bit like me, and we love to cuddle up on the couch or romp around the yard together.While I’m not a big fan of being in the kennel (I’d much rather be curled up on the couch, your bed, or wherever my humans and dog friends are!), I’m well-behaved and respectful around the house. I’m also a polite guest — just give me a comfy spot and a chew bone, and I’m a happy girl.Men can make me a little nervous at first, but I’m trying hard to be brave. With kindness, calm energy, and a little time, I warm up and become a deeply loyal and loving companion. I’m not just looking for any home — I’m hoping for one where I can truly feel safe and part of the family.My foster mom says I’m a sweet, smart, and thoughtful girl who’s always trying her best. If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a big heart and the loyalty of a Lab mixed with the devotion and intelligence of a Cattle Dog — I just might be your perfect match.-------------"I'll be home for Christmas!"

Story
Hi, I'm Oscar!My foster mom calls me her gentle giant, and she’s right—I’m about 70 lbs of soft, calm, and loving energy. These days, I’m showing off more of my confident and playful side! I’ve learned how nice it feels to ask for pets with gentle nudges, and I really enjoy being close to my people.I live with my sister and two other dogs, and we have a blast playing together. I’m also learning it’s okay to have a little fun chatting with the neighbor dogs over the fence!I’d do best in a calm home with a fenced yard, since sudden noises can still startle me. I’m gaining confidence every day, especially with patient people and maybe a friendly dog buddy to show me the ropes. Gentle, older kids who understand that I sometimes need space would be just fine, too.I’m house-trained, sleep wonderfully in my crate, am a great car rider, and am an easy companion—quiet, affectionate, and happy just to be near you. I am just the best couch potato around!If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle dog who’ll bring warmth and calm to your home, I’d love to meet you.Love, Oscar--------------------------------------------"I'll be home for Christmas!"

Story
*Felicity’s adoption fee has been sponsored thanks to a generous donor*Oh, hi there! I'm so happy you found me. My name is Felicity. I am a playful, spunky and snuggly girl looking for my furever family. I've been so loved in foster homes since I was a puppy, but I know my family is out there!!I currently live in a condo with my foster mom and cat friends, but I have also lived in a house with a foster dad, mom, teenagers and other dogs with a fenced in yard. I have done well with the little kids I have met that are respectful of me. I take a little time to warm up, but not too long! Once I get to know you, I'm your best buddy. I am house trained and do well on leash or freely in the backyard. I am crate trained. I can sleep in my crate at night and when I'm home alone. I go in happily with a treat and love my cozy bed. I also love to sleep in bed with my foster mom though! I'm a great napper, super snuggly and love to give kisses! I'm just the right size too; not too big and not too small!I do bark at new things or in new situations, but I am a good listener and am corrected easily. I would do best with a patient and confident person who is experienced with dogs and is consistent with me! I am such a loving and special pup. My foster families have absolutely loved me and believe that the perfect family is out there looking for me. Is it you? X0XOXO,Felicity Felicity is a little fighter who has been diagnosed with autoimmune disease called Canine dermatomyositis (DMS) which is an inherited disease that causes inflammation of the skin, muscles, and blood vessels in dogs. She deserves to find her family just like every other dog up for adoption in rescue. If you feel you can provide her with all that she needs, a lifetime of love and care, snuggles and commitment, please make sure to fill out an adoption application. --------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Story
*Star’s adoption fee has been fully sponsored by a generous donor*Hello! My name is Star and I’m ready to light up your life! My life in a nutshell? Well, up until I came to Minnesota, I lived in Alabama with my five babies. But it wasn’t glamorous, we lived in the woods. I approached a home, led them to where we were living and they got us to safety. Now that all of my pups are adopted and in loving homes, I think that it’s my turn! I’m a quirky, gentle girl with a heart full of love. I guess you could say that I’m cautious, new things still make me a little nervous. But with a bit of patience and a lot of pets, I warm up pretty quickly. I like to be around my people, curling up in cozy spots and giving soft nose boops. Once I’m comfortable, my silly side will definitely come out! I’m a very loyal girl once I know that I’m safe with you. I can’t wait to find my forever home and live the best life that I can. I know that I’m someone’s perfect match, hopefully it’s you!

Story
Hi! My name is Bessie and I just arrived from Alabama in November! I currently live with my foster family (a human mom, dad, and 3 kids ages 10, 7, and 3). They all LOVE me and give me hugs, belly rubs, and ear scratches. I am an eager learner, and have already learned sit, gentle, and leave it. I am getting better with potty training too! I love being outside, playing with other dogs, chewing my nylabone and Kong, and snuggling on the couch. Sometimes I forget that I'm 70 pounds, and need reminders to be gentle with the smaller humans, but I'm working on it! A play date with a furry friend is a great outlet for me.I quietly sleep in my crate overnight AND when mom goes to work. When she's working from home, I closely supervise and chew on my toys or snooze. I am looking for a family who has room in their hearts and home for a big and fun snuggle bug!!

Hi! I'm Tommy! I came from Alabama, me and my brothers were on our own until some wonderful people found us. I've made it all the way to Minnesota and boy oh boy am I loving it!! Currently, I'm living with my foster mom and dad, and 4 other doggos! I love them all!! My foster mom says I love everything and I'm always happy!! She's right! She also says I'm one of the bestest boys ever!! I'm excellent on my leash, I've learned to be comfortable in my kennel when I eat, at night, and when my fosters aren't at home. I'm so close to doing all my duties outside, very few accidents, so that's good! My fosters have noticed that not only am I super cute, I'm also super smart. I've picked up on so many things like good manners, being gentle, and listening to my people. You should come and meet me, and see what a perfect pup I really am!
