Story
After much discernment we have decided that our home is not suitable for our 3yr mix Muntz. He loves to chew and keep his mouth busy. He loves toys! He is likely a combo of some herding breeds (border collie x lab?) as he has a strong motivation for herding and keeping tabs on everything going on around him. An ideal home for Muntz would be one where he can have a job to do. He would love to be your right-hand man! He has lots of energy and needs a chance to get it all out. He also loves food and is highly motivated. We would recommend that he goes to a home without young kids as he doesn’t know his size and can be mouthy when he gets excited. Due to his tendency to herd and control, he may not be a great companion for other dogs depending on their temperament. A passive dog would likely be fine. We do not know how he is around other animals. We are looking for a home that has experience with herding dogs and the ability and time to train him to be your faithful companion.

Story
Owen is a great family dog that loves attention. He loves to run and be outside. Playing with toys, treats. He would love somewhere he can be himself run and play, maybe even in the country. Owen is up to date on all shots and yearly vet visits. Being 6 years old he is still young at heart and runs very fast when he wants to play. Need to find a loving home for him.

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. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue.  License #487823.  Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved. An approved application does not mean you must adopt the dog of interest, if it isn't a good fit.April 5, 2026, 7:20 pm

Name: Milo and Lola Age: 10 years Breed: chihuahua  Gender: Milo(male) Lola(female) Weight: Milo 10ish lbs but overweight Lola 5 lbs... also could loose a little Good with kids: 5+ Good with dogs: yes,respectful dogs Good with cats: yes Current on vaccinations: pending Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Foster location: Shawano WI Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio: Milo and Lola were surrendered to OPARI after 10 years together thru no fault of their own. These two siblings would loooooove to find a forever home together, they are quite attached after so long. That being said they are two individuals with different personalities, both love to nap and cuddle. Milo is the talkative one, he grumbles, he snorts, he occasionally barks. Hes loyal, he wants to be your shadow and although he likes to put on a tough exterior, he loves to be loved. Lola is sweet, shy and takes a little bit to warm up. She's a huahua, she loves to burrow under blankets and be snuggled up snoozing. Both pups have had minimal accidents, caught onto potty habits quick and do so well in the car. These senior cuties are just waiting for the right home Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823.

Foster location: Appleton Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio: 'If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all.'. Thumper here! And I joined Our Pack with my other Easter siblings so we can get a better chance at living a great life. Im looking for a family that can share that same positive outlook, so I can have all the best influences around me. Like many puppies, I LOVE to chomp on things especially my tennis ball. Im often running around the house with it. Im a touch dramatic at times, so foster lady says. Like getting stuck on the stairs, or tripping over my own feet. Much like a bunny on a warm spring day, I love doing zoomies to see how fast I can go. I'll need a home that is very patient with training, concistency, puppy shenanigans, and will give me plenty of activities! Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue.

Foster location:  Neenah,WI Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Cottontail is just a baby and loves to be cuddled. She has a playful side and enjoys games of tug-of-war with her foster siblings, but she's just as happy curling up close when she's ready to rest. Like most puppies, she will run, play, and follow you everywhere before eventually crashing into your arms for a nap. She truly is the softest little puppy, and has the sweetest little soul. She has already impressed us with how quickly she learns, showing great potential to become a wonderful addition to whomever would love her. As she is still new to the world, she will need continued training and guidance, but with patience and love, she will thrive and grow into an amazing companion. With her adorable personality and loving heart, Cottontail is ready to find a family to grow up with and give all her love to. If you're looking for a sweet, loving puppy to add to your home, she may be the perfect fit. Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823.
