Story

Maui was purchased at 6 weeks old at a German shepard breeder in Monticello, Minnesota. Maui recently turned 5 years old on July 3rd. Maui is looking for a loving family that can spend time with him outside, especially in the winter as its his favorite season. Maui loves plenty of deck time basking in the sun when the weather permits. Maui is very protective which is an important role as a German shepard to protect the ones he love and care about. Maui is trained in house commands such as; place (going to his place mat), kennel, free (release word), and yes (used for food/treats). Maui had a little cat brother that he adored and enjoyed plenty of play fights with. As big as Maui is, he loves to cuddle like he is a lap dog. Maui loves to eat honeydew, his dental treats, and just treats in general.

Story

Forest is a very handsome dog with a gentle, sweet temperament. He came to us from a Reservation – someone took him as a pup, but after a year, didn’t want him anymore (said he got too big, plus kept wandering back to the farm where he was born). He was taken in by a rescue partner that lives on a farm until he could be transported to Second Chance. This easy-going boy proved to be good with dogs, cats, adults, kids, chickens, cows, goats, horses….all the farm animals he encountered. Forest is a 1 yr. old, 84#, shepherd-pyrenees mix with floppy ears. His foster mom says he needs to gain weight, and that underneath his fluffy coat of fur you can see and feel all his ribs; she is guessing his ideal weight might be close to 100#. Forest loves pets and attention – if you stop petting him, he will gently give you a paw to encourage you keep the pets coming. He is good with the resident dogs – playful with the same-size female, and respects the male’s desire to be left alone. At his one trip to the dog park (which he absolutely loved), he was good with dogs of all sizes. Ignores the 2 cats. Forest is housebroken – he doesn’t ask to go out, so you need to establish a schedule so he gets out at least 4-5 times/day. He sleeps on the floor in your bedroom at night, and isn’t permitted on the furniture. At first, he was confined in the laundry room when left, but now has free run of the house AS LONG AS all the shoes are picked up and he has approved things to chew on. His foster mom works from home, so he has someone with him much of the time. He is learning how to play with toys. Easy to walk him on leash, is learning to respond to his name when called (was previously named Flop), and will “sit” for a treat. His recall isn’t perfect – still a work in progress. Seldom barks – might complain initially if confined in a room, but doesn’t join in when the other dogs bark. He hasn’t had much experience riding in a vehicle, and will drool. Forest likes to be with people and other dogs – his ideal home would have another playful dog and a fenced yard. Forest has been neutered, and is current on distemper, rabies and Bordetella vaccinations. He is microchipped, and his heartworm test is negative. The adoption fee for this friendly, easy going dog is $350. Call 651-771-5662 if you are interested in meeting Forest.

Story

Meet Noel, a lovable 4-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her playful personality! She is house-trained and loves her kennel — it’s her safe haven for both bedtime and chilling during the day. While she’s content in her kennel when her humans are away, she might give a little whine if she can hear people nearby because she’s truly a people puppy and loves being close to her family. Noel is great with kids and enjoys the company of other dogs. She does have a lot of energy and loves to play, but cats usually aren’t her biggest fans because of her rambunctious, playful nature. She is currently working on her leash manners and would benefit from some consistent training, though she’s a quick learner with the right guidance. She’s a pretty chill passenger and rides wonderfully in the car, making her an excellent road trip companion! Nera’s energy level is medium—she enjoys a good game of fetch, although she may not always bring the ball back. She’s also perfectly happy roaming around in a fenced backyard, content to explore and take in her surroundings. Noel waits patiently for her food and responds well to basic commands, like sitting and laying down. Above all, she’s an incredibly sweet, loving dog who just wants to be a cherished member of a family. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion, Noel might just be your perfect match! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $425.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 8, 2025, 12:37 pm
