Story
Name: Rayni Age: Puppy (DOB: 12/10/25) Gender: Female Breed: German Shepherd mix Weight: 18 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Child friendly: Yes House trained: in progress, puppy Crate trained: in progress, puppy Energy level: Puppy Temperament: Playful, intelligent, mild, gentle Requirement: Not rental appropriate  Adoption Fee: $525 + tax To adopt, go to:   www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html Rayni is the kind of puppy who quietly steals your heart — gentle, attentive, and ready to grow into an incredible companion. She has adjusted beautifully. Rayni plays, rests comfortably, eats well, welcomes people, enjoys walks, and is doing great with pottying outside. She’s beginning to bond and naturally seeks connection. She has a very gentle temperament. Playful and responsive to voice tone (though she hasn’t learned a name yet), Rayni naturally stays close by when walking outside, which makes time in the yard easy and enjoyable. She may hesitate in unfamiliar spaces like the shed or garage, but she watches, follows, and builds confidence with reassurance. The pups can be left alone without whining, and while they enjoy playing together — with the occasional normal sibling squabble — Rayni shows she has her own quiet confidence. She doesn’t rely on another dog to feel secure. She is incredibly ready for training. Smart, quick to learn, and eager to please, Rayni responds beautifully to guidance. She loves to lay beside you and truly seems like a loving, steady dog who will be a joy to train and raise. Now is the perfect time to welcome her home and shape the future she’s ready for. She is schedule to be spayed on April 6th, 2026         March 2, 2026, 8:58 pm

Name: Fayni Age: Puppy (DOB: 12/10/25) Gender: Female Breed: German Shepherd mix Weight: 21 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Child friendly: Yes House trained: in progress, puppy Crate trained: in progress, puppy Energy level: Puppy Temperament: Playful, intelligent, curious, brave, confident Requirement: Not rental appropriate  Adoption Fee: $525 + tax To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html Fayni is a confident, intelligent pup who is already showing the makings of a loyal and capable companion. She has adjusted very well since arriving. Fayni plays, rests comfortably, eats well, greets people, enjoys walks, and is doing great with pottying outside as she continues learning what’s expected. She is beginning to bond nicely with us. She has a fairly bold temperament — playful, curious, and brave, while still showing healthy caution in new situations. She responds well to voice tone (though she hasn’t learned a name yet) and is attentive and alert. When surprised, she may show some guarding or alert behavior, but she is responsive to guidance. Fayni can be left alone without whining or barking. She settles easily and rests quietly. She plays with her sister and can sometimes be the more dominant one — she is strong — but they interact well overall as friendly siblings. She appears eager to learn and willing to try new things. If she gets carried away, she responds quickly to a raised voice or even a simple hand clap. She strikes me as a pup who enjoys being challenged and is quite smart. Our cat corrected her once when she tested boundaries, and Fayni listened and backed off appropriately. With a firm, consistent leader, I’m confident Fayni will thrive. She has the potential to become a very obedient and well-conditioned dog with continued training and structure. She's scheduled to be spayed April 6th, 2026                 March 2, 2026, 8:14 pm

Ask a TCHS staff for tips on how to ease the transition. Brioche would love to have durable toys to chew on and keep them entertained. Patient and consistent training using treats is a good way to work on obedience cues. Ask a TCHS staff about training and suggestions for the perfect toy for your new friend from the TCHS Re-Tail Shoppe. *Adoption holds may be placed on available animals in person or by calling 320-252-0896. An adoption hold reserves available animals for one day after the animal is ready to be adopted.
