Story
Tootsie is a beautiful middle aged gal. She was found as a stray in a neighboring community. She is estimated to be between 5-7 years old and if she could talk she`d say she is in the prime of her life! Her breed(s) are unknown but she appears to have some bird dogs in her lineage. She`s a perfect 51 lbs. and has a wash & wear coat!Tootsie is pretty firm in her beliefs. She absolutely loves chasing the ball and running with her foster dad. She absolutely wishes cats did not exist. Tootsie absolutely believes humans are better than any other reward on the planet. Tootsie, also, absolutely does not want to share her home with any other canines.Tootsie can be made to appear as if she a handful, a problem, questionable. When she first came to us we were concerned about all of these things. But we know one thing. Tootsie craves praise and adoration from her people, and she has proven that day after day. She wants this. It is an incredible thing to witness a dog shed the old persona and try a new one on, especially a reactive dog. She`s not always going to get it right, so she needs people that will continue to have her back and not try to make her something she is not. Tootsie needs to be the only pet in the home. She has made huge improvements and is now comfortable walking past and casually being around other dogs in passing. Beyond that she is an easy keeper. Want to go for a long hike? She`s your gal! Feeling like a couch day? She`s got the snacks. Tootsie is going to love her new humans with every fiber of her being. Who doesn`t want that kind of adoration?Tootsie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. She has also tested negative for heartworm disease.Her adoption fee is $300.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application to find out more about our Tootsie!

Story
Hi! My name is Meemaw Ivey, and I'm from Alabama! Would you like some sweet southern sunshine in your life? Meet Meemaw Ivey - an older gal who's sweeter than pecan pie. She's a bit shy at first, but a few gentle pets, treats, and some time to warm up, and she will melt into you. Meemaw loves her people, couch snuggles/naps, and leisurely walks. She is housebroken, low energy, walks great on a leash, and does well in the car. Meemaw is not crate trained; but does well when left out in the home alone. She may bark a few times to protest your absence, and will counter surf for a tasty treat if they're in reach! Her happy dance when you come home and the way she melts for pets are sure to worm her into your heart. Do you have a quiet house, a comfy couch, and plenty of snuggles to give Meemaw in her golden years? From the Vet: Meemaw Ivey is a gentle soul who is ready to let her true spirit shine. While she arrived with a few hurdles to clear, including demodex mange, dental disease, and heartworm disease, her resilient heart hasn’t skipped a beat. We are taking things one step at a time to ensure she feels her very best. Meemaw is currently beginning her journey to wellness, starting with her spay and the first steps of her heartworm treatments. To keep her safe and help her body heal, she will need a quiet, low-energy lifestyle with restricted activity during her heartworm treatment. This means more time for cozy naps and gentle chin scratches, which suits her sweet personality perfectly. About 30 to 40 days after her heartworm treatment is fully completed and she’s feeling strong, we will schedule her dental care. TBB will include her heartworm and dental care in her adoption contract. This ensures her new family can focus on what matters most: the quiet joy of a wagging tail and the comfort of a loyal companion.

Story
Hi, my name is Sheila. I am from Alabama. Sheila is a happy active puppy. When she first came to MN she was very shy, skittish, and scared. It took her some time to warm up to us, is still wary of quick movements, and is starting to approach us with more confidence. She has learned the joy of toys and playing with my dog, Jasper. Sheila does well with cats; she mostly ignores them but is curious and tries to sniff them when she can but respects their space. Sheila freezes on -leash. Up to now she's only had it attached to a collar; she may do better with a harness so we're going to try that this week. She's "mostly" house-trained, I mean she is a puppy so that is an on-going effort. A fenced yard may be helpful since her leash training has only just begun. Lastly, Sheila is teething, chew toys are everywhere!

Story
Update 5/8/26 Eirwyn had a week full of exciting progress and growing confidence. He completed his first walk without his foster dog siblings, which was scary at first, but he slowly became more comfortable and successfully explored on his own. During the walk, he calmly handled meeting a kind neighbor, choosing to keep his distance but showing major improvement compared to a few months ago. He also experienced walking near heavy traffic and, after some initial fear, relaxed enough to sniff and explore his surroundings. He discovered birds for the first time—both robins and ducks—and was fascinated by them, quietly watching without barking or chasing. At home, Eirwyn made another huge step by laying on his foster mom’s lap while she used her computer, something that previously scared him enough to run away. Eirwyn is also becoming much more comfortable with his foster dad, despite originally seeming best suited for a female-only home. He has been cuddling next to him, resting his head on his lap, taking treats, and even accepting occasional pets. The nice weather meant lots of outdoor time, including walks, yard work, and an enthusiastic mud-playing session that ended with an easy bath. He also did wonderfully during a family barbecue, happily accepting treats from guests and enjoying time outside. Overall, Eirwyn’s resilience and steady progress have been incredible to watch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eirwyn (air-wyn) is a 2-year-old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix with a gentle heart and a resilient spirit. He is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves being outdoors, playing with his furry foster siblings, sneaking the occasional sock, and snuggling up for comfort. Like many Great Pyrenees mixes, he has a strong need for mental stimulation and thrives when kept busy, so experience with working breeds will be especially helpful for his future adopter. Because of his past, Eirwyn has some unique needs: *He is naturally timid and particularly fearful of men, so he’s seeking a female-only home where he can feel safe and secure. *He does best with a predictable routine and would be happiest in a calm environment without young children (older teens 15+ may be okay). *He also requires a confident, friendly resident dog to serve as his “mentor,” helping him continue to build confidence and navigate the world. *He would do best in a home with a physical fence, as he can be easily startled and is still developing reliable recall. *Due to his barking and anxiety, he is not suited for apartment living or homes with shared walls. One of Eirwyn’s more unusual challenges is his fear of screens—televisions, computers, and similar devices can be very frightening for him, though he is slowly learning to tolerate them when turned off. He’ll need a patient adopter committed to helping him work through this fear over time. Eirwyn is looking for a special person who understands that progress takes time. He will thrive with someone patient, consistent, and committed to continuing his training and supporting his needs—including ongoing anxiety management if needed. In return, he offers deep loyalty, sweetness, and the joy of watching a once-shy dog continue to blossom into his best self.
