Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $475 plus taxJaya is a sweet husky/german shepherd mix. She is very loving and vocal. She loves a schedule and will let you know she’s ready for bed by taking herself to her crate. She loves her crate and willingly goes in every morning when we go to work. She much prefers her crate to free roaming. She gets pretty anxious when left out alone even for a short while. Jaya is fully potty trained and we have never had an accident in the house. She loves her toys, especially her ball, and she will carry it around like a security blanket. She  has a history of guarding her toys, but when she feels comfortable she loves for you to play with her, especially fetch, though she may not give it back unless you have a spare ball to trade. She is food motivated to an extent, but can grow bored of treats and will gladly accept affection as a reward. She is very smart and well behaved. She has not chewed on anything that wasn’t hers. She will suckle her bed when she’s anxious. Jaya has reactivity on the leash especially with other dogs, but we think it stems from excitement and curiosity. She loves having people over to the house, and when we introduced her to another dog she was excited but respectful. She would thrive in a house with a fenced in yard she can run. She is making a lot of progress on the leash and though she does still have a tendency to pull, she learns quickly if you are firm and only allow her to keep walking when the leash is loose. We have also taught her to sit and get her paws wiped before she comes inside, which if kept up is very handy on muddy days. She knows all of the basic commands, and was able to learn more very quickly. She is eager to learn and loves training games. Jaya  has started Prozac for her anxiety recently and is adjusting well. She takes the medication very well when it’s in cheese or peanut butter. She is not food aggressive and will take treats very gently and will sit and wait patiently for her meals until you use a release word.  If you have previously applied with us please email placement@midwestanimalrescue.org to reactivate your application with new interest.All fees are subject to MN sales tax and a processing fee at the time of adoption.

Story
Jeffy is a fluffy, mostly black Shepherd mix with the cutest tan accents and an even cuter personality. Born around 11/30/2025, this 12-pound bundle of joy is expected to grow into a medium-sized (26–60 lbs) adventure buddy. He may be small now, but his personality is already larger than life!Jeffy is a friendly ball of energy who doesn’t miss a beat. From the moment he arrived, he was curious and fearless, ready to explore new spaces, meet new people, and make new friends. The only thing that gives him pause? Walking through the door on a leash, but he’s working on it!He absolutely loves tug of war, wrestling with his foster buddy Nenee, chasing balls, and exploring everything around him. He will completely melt for belly rubs and happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give.He’s making steady progress with house training. He has good “tells” when he needs to go, but sometimes forgets his mission once the leash comes out. With consistency and patience, he’ll get there! He isn’t fully crate-trained yet, but he’s comfortable in his crate, snoozing there during the day and settling in with minimal fuss when crated for a few hours.If you’re looking for a sweet, fearless, toy-sharing, belly-rub-loving best friend, Jeffy is your guy. If you are interested in Jeffy, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
