Story
Hi! My name is Bandit and I am from Arkansas. I am currently being treated for heartworm disease. Heartworm is not contagious so your resident pets are not at risk! The treatment for this is 3-4 months long and requires a minimum of 3 appointments and strict rest/restricted activity. My adoption can take place during treatment, while TBB manages the financial responsibility of my heartworm treatment at The Bond Between Vet Center. Any other medical care needed outside of the specific care covered in the contract disclaimer, would be the responsibility of my new family.

Story
Hi! My name is Stella and I am from Arkansas. Hi! I'm Stella and my favorite thing in the world is belly rubs! I also love chew toys, particularly ones that crinkle. I am still a puppy (just turned one), so occasionally foster mom has to point things that AREN'T actually chew toys, but I'm happy to switch to something else! I also really like food...I use my puppy dog eyes and sometimes they share people food with me! Foster mom says I'm very well behaved. I do my business outside (I like sitting on the stoop surveying my kingdom, I mean yard!). I am happy to go in my crate for a treat when everyone has to leave. I just wait quietly for them to come home! I have a bigger foster brother...I ignored him at first, but now I like to play with him sometimes. I'd love to have you come give me a belly rub or two!

Story
Hi! I'm Gypsy! I'm a beautiful golden retriever mix, about 3 years old (born 10/2021). I'm at that perfect age – not a crazy puppy, but not a slowpoke senior either! I've had a bit of a bumpy start in life, moving between homes a few times. But I'm ready for my *forever* home, and I'm hoping you're the one! My sweet golden eyes are hoping to convince you that I'm the missing piece in your family. Because of my past, I do have some anxiety, especially when kenneled for long periods. But don't worry! I take a daily anxiety medication that helps me feel much better. It's super easy – just hide it in a pill pocket with my morning meal, and I gobble it right down! It's *very* important that I get this medication *every* single morning. It's not something I can take occasionally, and I shouldn't stop taking it suddenly. My foster mom strongly recommends I stay on it for life to help me feel safe and secure after my rough start. I'm a fun-loving girl! I adore playing with toys, kids, and most other dogs. I can be a little bossy with *some* female dogs, but I get along fine with most. Cats? I'm curious at first sniff, but then I usually just ignore them. I've been around cats in other foster homes and done well. I'm a fantastic car rider – I love watching the world go by! I'm also crate trained (I might whine a little when you leave, but I settle down quickly) and house trained. I'm the perfect blend of cuddly and playful. I'll happily snuggle up with you on the couch for movie night, but I'm also ready for some zoomies in the yard or a good run! Won't you please give me my happy ending? I promise to be your loyal and loving companion forever and always. I'm just a brown-eyed girl, waiting for you! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, rabies vaccination, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $395.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 25, 2025, 11:38 pm

Story
Hi, I am Davidson!  I hail from Kentucky, but am happy to be here in Minnesota. Actually, I'm just happy in general!     I know how to sit, shake, and lie down. I am pretty good at “wait”, too.    I am eternally excited. I happily swing my butt and head around and have not yet figured out that when those parts of me run into a part of you that it doesn't feel great. I may knock over people or smaller kids who aren't sure-footed because I haven't figured out that this is the effect.  I do seem to be aware that my human foster siblings (8 and 10) are smaller and take this into consideration when I'm by them.    I am a lover of toys! I prance around happily when I have one and am always willing to share with other dogs.  I make a funny little growly sound when I'm really excited about the toy I'm trying to show you and get you to play with. It's not an aggressive thing by any means, just my way to communicate how jacked I am about it! I have earned the nickname “Darth Davey” because of the heavy breathing done out of excitement.    I am good in my kennel after some initial whining. I stay there when my foster parents leave the house. I prefer to sleep in bed with my people and my furry foster siblings, but will sleep in the kennel if I must.    I am super dog friendly. I have not shown any reactive behaviors. I want to play with friends I meet right away, but am also mindful of their cues and when they aren't quite ready to play with me. I have not shown any signs of resource guarding, either. In fact, one of my furry foster siblings is a little rude and tries to take toys from my mouth, and I just let her do it. She gets overly sassy with me sometimes when we play, and I remain non-aggressive.   I got to meet a cat to see how I would do with them, and I didn't care too much about the cat. I just wanted pets from the human whose cat it was.    I am a bit vocal, but it is when I'm trying to tell you something…like needing to go out to potty or REALLY wanting to play. For this reason, I may not be the best candidate for a home with shared walls, unless your neighbors understand that dogs sometimes bark to communicate. I bark when I want attention, but who doesn't love a guy who can communicate?!     I like lounging on the floor near my foster family's feet, but also enjoy a good dog bed and some time on the couch with my head in my people's lap. Sometimes I even try to sit in their laps.    I have an impressive vertical jump in the air excitedly when it's time to eat, go outside, and play.   I would love to meet you, get some pets, and play tug of war! After that, maybe some butt scratches and snuggles?      Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Hi! I’m Dunne, aka Dune-buggy. I haven’t had a great start in life. We don’t know much about it, but I was born in Afghanistan and spent my first couple of years there. Because of that, I didn’t really learn how or what it means to be a dog. The nice people that I’m staying with right now have a dog, and he’s teaching me some of that stuff. I didn’t really understand at first, but I’m learning how to communicate and listen instead of reacting. I don’t always understand how to communicate with new dogs, so slow introductions work best. I’m learning about toys, it’s fun to shred them apart. I’m also learning how to walk nicely on a leash. I get so excited at first that I just can’t control myself, but once I get my wiggles out, I listen and stick close to the guy walking me. I do get scared of other dogs on leashes or in fenced yards, so I try to show I’m a tough guy and get a little loud, but we are working on it. I like humans, I always want to please them. I get scared, though, if there are sudden movements or someone reaches out, so I lie down and become super submissive. Because sudden movements and loud noises scare me, a house with older or no children would be best. I’m learning something about boundaries. I just really like to be close to my people, sometimes too close (according to them). The people I’m staying with are teaching me a lot. They say I’m basically a puppy, with puppy energy at times,  especially when I first get out of the kennel. But I just need to get my wiggles out, and then I settle down pretty quickly. They are also helping me with my impulse control, waiting at doors, and not diving for my food bowl. I am house-trained and crate-trained. The kennel is my safe place and I will go in there to take a nap, and I sleep in there at night, but I don’t like to be left alone and locked up in there, and tend to be pretty vocal about it. We are working on it. I’m starting to trust humans that they are going to come back and provide me with what I need. I really do love humans, especially once I have decided you are my human. I am a snuggle bug and really a big sweetheart. I’m just trying to figure things out and learn how to be a good dog in this world. I love to run and be outside, but I also love to just curl up and chill wherever my humans are.   We’ve got some exciting news about this pup’s age! Thanks to DNA testing from Embark, we’ve got a fresh take on how old they really are. A big shoutout to Embark for generously donating these tests for us to explore! You might spot a difference between Embark's findings and our original guess—after all, no test or person is 100% accurate. It’s all part of the adventure!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Meet Irene! This 9-month-old retriever mix is 35 pounds of sweetness, playfulness, and puppy charm. Irene came up from Arkansas and has been blossoming in her foster home ever since.   Irene loves to play—whether she’s wrestling with the energetic foster pup, Preacher, or playing a gentler game of chase with the older resident dog, she knows how to match the vibe. She’s also incredibly affectionate and will often pause mid-play to come check in for pets and attention.   She’s doing great with her crate training, settling in comfortably at night and during the day. She may let out a little protest if she sees other dogs having fun without her (classic FOMO!), but she settles quickly. Irene is still working on potty training, but with a consistent schedule, she’s making steady progress. She’s also doing wonderfully with leash training and enjoys exploring the world on walks.   Irene hasn’t been tested with cats or kids, but with her gentle nature and a little guidance, she could likely adapt well. She would thrive in a home with another playful pup, but could also do well solo if her humans are active and engaged.   Now fully vetted and ready for adoption, Irene is looking for a loving family who will continue her training and give her the love and structure she needs to keep growing into her best self. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion with a heart of gold, Irene might just be your girl!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
