Story
I have a breeding pair of 6 year old AKC rough collies with papers. My living situation has changed and l can no longer keep these two wonderful dogs. They have successfully had two litters of 10 and 12 puppies. Solstice, the female, is a great mom to the puppies. I would like to keep them together because they have always been together and are well suited for each other.. .I am hoping to find the right people and place for them to be relocated to. Come and meet them. 715-787-3424

Story
This is Remington “Remmy” he is a 4 year old blue brindle pitbull who strives with the people he loves and trusts. He is loving, loyal and the cutest cuddle buddy. - up to date on shots- not neutered - not good with cats- selective with male dogs - good with female dogs I’ve had him ever since he could fit in my hand. His mom rejected him as a baby, when I found him he had a gash in his left leg and right ear and that’s when I knew he was going to be mine. I woke up almost every hour of the night to take him down by his mom and make sure he stayed safe while eating. He had his own little bed next to mine, but instead he slept with me otherwise he would cry. If that doesn’t tell you all about his personality, I don’t know what else would.He’s a bubbly dog, very energetic, he smiles, he howls when you’re away.He does have a lot of anxiety, separation and just in general. But he really is just such a good boy.He’s always laying up in my bed and always needs to be touching me lol!!

Name: Frack Age:  10 weeks (5.15.26) Breed: Terrier mix Gender: Female  Weight: 10 Good with kids:  yes Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: yes Current on vaccinations: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Foster location: Weyauwega  Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio:  Meet Frack ♡ Frack made the trip north with her sister Frick and is officially accepting applications for a full-time family, snack provider, and professional belly rubber. Before you fall head over heels for her cute puppy face, let’s discuss reality for a second… Frack is still very much a BABY. That means she will need: • potty training • kennel training • socialization • manners • patience • routine • toys • supervision • and approximately 47 reminders a day that shoes are not snacks She is learning everything from scratch. The world is big, exciting, confusing, and occasionally something she probably should pee on. Puppies are messy. They chew things. They wake up early. They have accidents. They test boundaries. They require consistency and commitment. But they also become loyal best friends who think you hung the moon. Frack is sweet, curious, playful, and ready to start her next chapter with a family willing to put in the time to help her grow into an amazing dog. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, tiny chaos, and a whole lot of love… Frack may be your girl ♡ Apply today! Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823.

Story
Name: Butch Age:  8 years Breed:  chi mix Gender:  Male Weight:  14 pounds Good with kids:  Probably not as he is very scared of fast movement Good with dogs:  YES! Good with cats:  Haven't introduced him to resident kitty yet... TBD Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and prior vetting paperwork.   Foster location:  Iola, wi Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html   Bio:   Meet Butch! Although this little guy isn't going to be ready for adoption for a bit while he learns to trust, he felt left out of the introduction posts.  Butch made the trip from TX with a few of his friends that were all part of a horrific hoarding case that also involved a fire. Due to this trauma, he is learning what safety means and feels like. He is slow to warm up to humans, but instant friends with canines. Due to this, it will be imperative for Butch to get a forever home with a dog who can help him feel comfortable.    Updates will be made to Butch's bio when he completely decompresses.    Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Name: Solason Age: 4 Breed: hound mix Gender: Male Weight: 90lbs Good with kids: NA Good with dogs: Yes - plays hard, no puppies Good with cats: NA Current on vaccinations: Yes  Fixed:yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork.   Foster location: waupaca  Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html   Bio: Solason is Sola’s son and brother to Hola, and he recently made the journey north with his mom after we learned their family was still waiting in a Texas shelter. While his mom prefers to pretend humans don’t exist, Solason is at least considering the idea. When you walk into the room, he’ll often wag his tail and give you a half-greeting — like he’s thinking about saying hello — before quickly remembering he’s supposed to be nervous and retreating back to the safety of a dog bed or the floor. Baby steps. We’ve also caught him secretly playing with some of his foster brothers when he thinks no one is watching. For a big guy, he can get surprisingly playful. He’s also very protective of his mom, which isn’t surprising considering everything they’ve been through together. We’re still figuring out whether the two are truly bonded or if what they share is more of a trauma bond after years of surviving side by side. Solason is about twice the size of his mom, weighing roughly 90 pounds, but despite his size he’s a gentle giant. He allows pets, loves food, and will even allow you to pick him up and carry him — which is equal parts adorable and slightly ridiculous considering how big he is. He can be a little particular about food… but the things he loves, he LOVES. Dogs who have spent years surviving instead of living often need extra time and patience to trust the world around them. Because of that, dogs like Solason can take longer to find the right home. We couldn’t have brought Solason here without your continued support — it truly means the world to us. For now, we’re celebrating the small wins and letting Solason move at his own pace. One day he’ll realize he doesn’t have to be afraid anymore. Until then, we’ll meet him exactly where he is. Stay tuned for updates on his progress. Solason will require a fenced in yard at this time as well. Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc.
