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
Cash here! Hey! I have been making very good progress in my new foster home. I fit in with all the pups - big and small. I am altered, house trained, microchipped, and up to date on all age-appropriate shots." My foster mom says, "He does OK with the cats (he's a herding breed so he will try and herd them every now and then but it doesn't bother my cats). He is a little uncertain of new people but does warm up fairly quickly and then LOVES butt scratches! Due to being a little skittish I would recommend a home with no small children. He stays out in the doghouse all the time. He is a very chill guy who would love walks a couple times a week! We are working on walking and doing great with a training collar."

Story
Daisey here! I'm very new to SCHS and look forward to meeting my new fur-ever family! My foster mom says I am the sweetest little girl and LOVE to snuggle. I have a spicy little personality that has really come out since I have been with them. I love to play with all the pups and think I'm one of the big dogs. "She has done amazing with all the dogs in my home and does great with the cats as well! She's a little skittish with new people but once she warms up she will be your best friend! Due to her skittish nature I would say a home with no young children would be best for her. She has been doing great with house training and kennel training. We are currently working on leash manners but shes getting the hang of it." She is house trained and up to date on all age-appropriate shots. She will be fixed soon. Contact 507-451-4512 or steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com to set up a meet-n-greet. My adoption fee is $350.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I’m Buddy and looking for my forever home! I’m currently couch surfing with my foster mom and 2 foster fur siblings. I’m 11 years old but don’t let my age fool you. I’m good with being a couch potato but also good with running around all silly. I’ve been with my foster family for almost a month. At first she kenneled me and I did great in there. Now I have free range of the house. My foster mom works from home and I sleep in the dog bed in her office. When she leaves you can find me and my fur siblings sleeping on the couch or being apart of the neighborhood watch. I get along with both female and male dogs. I’ve been around a few other dogs besides my foster fur siblings and everything went well. I love to snuggle up in my dog bed or blankets near others. At night I sleep in the human bed. I can get up on the couch no issues but my foster mom’s bed is high so I use dog steps. I love to run and play outside and I recently started playing with dog toys. When someone comes to visit, I bark at first but then I get excited to meet new people. My foster mom has a fenced in yard so I can roam all over. I do love taking walks and walk very nice on a leash. I’ve never had an accident in the house while living with my foster family.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Darlene Mannino for more information about this pet.Poppy update!   My name is Poppy. 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.   Her DNA test results: 66% Boxer 14% German Shepherd 14% Chow Chow 6% Labrador Retriever  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 10, 2026, 5:12 pm

Story
I have been having severe allergic reactions and through medical testing, have learned I am allergic to dogs. It breaks my heart to be finding a new home for Wally. He is a great dog, loves my grandkids. He loves jumping on the trampoline. He is fully housebroken and kennel trained. A fenced yard is a must. We have a fenced yard and he loves running in the yard. He has a sister that he is very bonded with and they are a package deal. She is a 10 month old Sharpei/american bulldog mix.
