Story
My name is Macadamia and I need someone with experience with a reactive dog. I am not friendly with strangers until I warm up to them, and I am not good with other dogs. When I have my people I am loyal and only want to be snuggled and loved on, especially snuggling up at night. I have had both ACLs repaired and have become a bionic bully. But even that hasn’t stopped me from loving running wild, dock diving, and chasing after my tennis ball! I have been super loving with my 1.5 year old human, but likely won’t do well around large groups of kids or strange kiddos that aren’t part of my pack Please if you want to have a spicy girl, that would thrive with some additional training and time, she will be an incredible dog..

Story
Bellamy #975 Age: 7.5 years old Color & Breed: Tricolor Basset Gender: Neutered Male Weight: 60 pounds Bellamy and Cornelius are a bonded pair of basset males that came to MNBR when their family could no longer afford their medical care or basic necessities. Cornelius was in urgent need of bladder stone removal surgery and Bellamy needed a dental and has a leg that’s been swollen for months. Both boys were seen at our vet on 1/28 and got everything they needed. Nelly had one large, one medium, and several small stones removed from his bladder. He will need to be on a prescription diet going forward and should be checked regularly for stones. Belly was diagnosed with a hygroma which is more annoying than anything else and will hopefully subside with time.

Story
vanilla #927 Age: 5 years old Color & Breed: Tricolor Basset Gender: Spayed Female Weight: 37 pounds Requires: Fenced yard and confident companion dog There’s absolutely nothing plain about Vanilla #927! This 5-year-old tricolor basset is looking for her forever home with someone who appreciates her sweet demeanor. Plot twist, she actually prefers spray cheese from a can to ice cream cones. Who knew? ‘Nilla feels safest when wrapped in a blanket (because nothing scary could be under a blanket.) If she can be joined by a bunch of stuffed animals, all the better. Because she’s still shy, a home with a fenced-in yard and lots of patience is needed. She's mostly potty trained, although sometimes things are just...scary. Vanilla doesn’t need other dogs for comfort but does like to hide behind them when she’s scared (because she knows that having a slower friend means the T-rex will get them first.) Vanilla is still learning how to relax and trust. With time (and enough cheese), she’ll learn how to be the best companion basset the world has ever seen. Add some Vanilla to your house!

Story
Orchid #967 Age: 6 years old Color & Breed: Red/White Basset Gender: Spayed Female Weight: 41 pounds Orchids bloom with care, and Orchid #967 is ready to thrive. This 6-year-old red-and-white female came from a commercial breeder and is ready to let her guard down and love with her whole heart. Orchid is learning many new things, like walking on a leash, getting housetrained, and what the heck is making those weird loud noises she doesn’t like. Orchid LOVES stuffed toys and enjoys the company of other dogs. She could adjust to any kind of yard situation, although a fence would be best since she’s still a little shy. A quiet home full of toys and patient people is just the type of “greenhouse” Orchid needs.

Story
Celena, a 2 yr old female yellow lab mix, came into our program a few weeks ago and has been in boarding because we don’t have a foster available for her. So we are looking for someone that is interested in fostering her until we can find an adopter, or foster with intent to adopt her. She was in a temporary foster home in Texas until the treatment for heartworm was completed and she could make the long trip to MN, so we have some helpful information on her. Celena weighs 58#, and is at her ideal weight. She is housebroken, and has never had an accident indoors. She’s not fond of being crated, and might need a bribe to go in – she said to tell you that bully sticks, fruit, and peanut butter work well – and has been crated overnight. Celena sits on command, is leash trained, and is quite a good snuggler. She LOVES other dogs, and her ideal foster home would have another playful dog and a yard for them to run around in. A privacy fence would be best because a couple times she has climbed over a chain link fence. Her friendly nature sometimes leads her to jump up to greet people, and her love of good food makes jumping against counters irresistible, so could need a little work to correct this. Her friendly, affectionate, even-keeled nature makes her an easy dog to have around. No experience with children (although because of her playful energy we would recommend older kids), or with cats. Celena has been spayed, is current on distemper, Bordetella, and rabies vaccinations. She’ll need a recheck heartworm test between April and July to make sure the treatment was successful – Second Chance will cover this expense. A special crate will be provided for the time she is fostered, and then will need to be returned to Second Chance when she gets adopted. Celena is getting more comfortable being crated now, and isn’t scheming on ways to break out, so might accept a regular wire crate by then. She definitely seems most comfortable when her people are home with her, so a home where she won’t be left for long hours every day would be best. Call 651-771-5662 if you have any questions, or can offer to take care of Celena until she finds a permanent home – as a foster, you would have the first opportunity to adopt her.
