Story
Name: Charlie  Age: 10 months Breed: Mixed  Gender: male Weight: 53lbs Good with kids: yes Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: not fostered with any Current on vaccinations: yes Fixed: yes Foster location: Wisconsin Rapids  Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Adoption includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Bio: When we say rescue takes a village...we mean it. In Charlie's case it also took multiple states, coordination and 2 pilots!  A wonderful man happened to be in an Arkansas shelter at the right time and noticed sweet Charlie...sad, alone and confused. He saw the potential in Charlie and made an effort to help. He reached out to some of his contacts who then reached out to Our Pack. Charlie needed an advocate and thankfully found one. And while Charlie's story is a familiar one, he needed the right people to see his potential as Charlie is deaf.  His southern foster got him out, vaccinated, neutered and set up for success. He stayed with his rescuers at their home until arrangements were made and Charlie was cleared for travel. Charlie then made his way via private plane to Missouri by the very man that saved. There he was picked up by another volunteer pilot that flew him directly to his foster in Wisconsin Rapids.  We have learned that Charlie loves toys, chews and playing with other dogs. He likes to run, even if it is slightly slower than the resident dogs and a little more clumsy. He seems to be good on a leash and has a great start on potty training. He kennels well, eats his meals politely and takes treats nicely. He is a puppy who will need continued training and patience, but already has a good understanding of manners.  Charlie is young and while he may learn differently then the stereotypical dog, that doesn't make him any less eager or teachable. He has started to work on learning sign language, the routine of his foster home and how to just live and be a happy pup. We will update more on Charlie as we go along this journey with him.  Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based rescue. Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved. Preapproval applications for future adoption are welcome.December 17, 2025, 2:48 pm

Story
Name: June Age: 11 months old  Breed: Terrier mix Gender: Female Weight: 40# Good with kids: yes Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: no Current on vaccinations: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Foster location: Appleton  Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio:  June is an all to common story, adopted from an overcrowded shelter as a puppy and then returned after they had a baby. Many of June’s siblings had been adopted through OPARI this summer and they were such a foster fav we couldn’t leave this girl behind.  She has proven to be such a sweet girl already, her return papers said no kids- we would like to respectfully say her previous family is way wrong. She loves respectful children, but can be a bit enthusiastic with her love.  She is decompressing but so far seems to be on the higher end of activity levels. She is smart and loves to love on her people but if there is another dog to play with she will pick play. While she needs time to settle in for now our recommendation is going to be an active home, and not a new new year resolution active, but a proven record. Maybe a family that has other active dogs to play with in a fenced in backyard, or regular doggie daycare trips. Please know this may change as she settles more but for now that is what we are learning about this pretty lady.  Puppies will be puppies—they scratch, nip, jump, have accidents, and chew on things they shouldn’t. They require time, patience, and consistent training. Please only consider adoption if you’re truly ready for the responsibility and lifelong commitment they deserve. 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.January 3, 2026, 12:31 pm

Story
Name: Roo Age: 4 years Breed: Doberman Gender: Female Weight: 65 pounds Good with kids: yes Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: unknown 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 Roo, the sweetest doberman in the world! Roo travelled to Wisconsin from Texas where she did not have the best start in life. It is believed Roo was used to have puppies and then dumped when she "out grew her usefulness". Roo did not receive the best ear cropping, but her flopped over ear is so endearing! She does take daily supplements to help her hips. Her hips do make her a little hesitant to jump and might need assistance getting into a vehicle. She is working on leash training, but still has a tendency to pull. Now that you are informed of her imperfect qualities, let's talk about her perfect qualities! Roo is very mild and laid back. She really enjoys the resident littles (dogs) and really wants to play with them. She does this little pounce/bow that is extremely adorable. She takes direction from them when they don't want to play with a small pony. She is totally content laying out on the couch or curled up in a dog bed two sizes too small! She has expert level dobie hugs and perfected her dobie lean! Due to her protector breed, we are looking for an adopter who has experience with dobermans. Roo is just waiting for "the one" to see her and love her for who she is that is willing to continue training. She is looking for her protector that she wants to protect.  The 3-3-3 rule of rescue is important to all rescue dogs but especially true for sweet dogs like Roo. They need that time to blossom.

Name:  Breckenridge Age:  8 weeks   Breed: Terrier mix Gender: Male Weight:  5> lbs Good with kids: Not fostered with, but puppy Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: Not fostered with, but puppy Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and prior vetting paperwork. Foster location:  Waupaca  Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Meet Breck &#226&#157&#132&#239&#184&#143 Named after Breckenridge, and just like the mountain town, Breck is equal parts charming and fun. This brown-and-white cutie brings a little altitude energy — playful when it’s time, but happy to slow it down and enjoy the view. Breck is curious, social, and always down to see what everyone else is doing. He’s got that friendly, easygoing personality that makes him fit in anywhere, whether that’s romping with his siblings or posting up for some well-earned snuggles. &#226&#157&#132&#239&#184&#143 Important info: About a week ago, we discovered the puppies have ringworm (not invited). They’re currently undergoing treatment and doing great. Because of that, we’re hopeful they’ll be ready to go home after January 14. &#226&#155&#183&#239&#184&#143 Good news: You don’t have to wait to apply. Applications are open now, and Breck is absolutely worth planning ahead for. If you’re looking for a puppy with good looks, good vibes, and main-street Breckenridge charm, Breck is ready to be your new adventure buddy. Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc.

Mama is Girly Girl (coming soon to the page ), and dad is still a mystery. Girly Girl was found with an intact male when she was brought to the shelter, so he could be dad… or Bow just decided to keep us all guessing. Either way — this little guy is pure Valentine charm in a compact package, and he’s only getting started. Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue.
