Story
Name: Black Jack Age: Puppy (DOB: 3/1/25) Gender: Male Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix Weight: 51 lbs Dog Friendly: Yes Cat Friendly: Testing available upon request Child Friendly: Yes, older school-aged children preferred House Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Energy Level: Moderate Temperament: Easygoing, loving, and very tolerant of other dogs Requirement:  Not apartment-appropriate; could be suitable for a duplex or condo Adoption Fee: $450 + tax To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family: Black Jack and his sister, Lickity Split (also available through Mending Spirits), were found as strays in Alabama when they were just puppies. They recently made the journey to Minnesota and are now looking for their second chance with a loving family. Black Jack is a very affectionate boy who loves to relax with his foster dad—especially in the recliner, where he’ll happily snuggle up for naps. He’s easygoing, well-mannered, and lives peacefully with five other dogs. He goes into his kennel willingly and already knows some basic commands. With his long legs, we suspect he may have some Great Dane in his mix! Black Jack will make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a gentle, loyal companion. About Me (from Black Jack): Hello, Minnesota! It was a long trip to get here, but I’m so happy to be in my new state! I was cared for by kind folks at HASRA in Alabama, where I got as much love as possible—even with 50 other dogs around. My sister and I are both here now, and I’m ready to find my forever family! My foster dad lets me jump into the recliner with him, and I fall asleep almost instantly—it feels so good to be safe and cozy. I know “sit,” “stay,” and “down,” and I have so much fun playing with the five dogs in my foster home. I can’t wait to meet my new family and start our life together. Please fill out an application so we can meet soon! Till then—enjoy life!     November 21, 2025, 4:22 pm

To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family: Laddie and his sister were found as strays and spent months at a women’s home confined to a kennel together.  When Laddie first got to MN he was very afraid and hid outside for the first few days.  I can now pet him and take him for walks, and bring him to the backyard, and he comes in when called.  He wants to have people pet him, but is shy with new people.  He plays well with other dogs.  He has been in my house with 7 other dogs, and one was a 3-month-old puppy, and he did well with them.  He loves to hang out in his kennel.  He will need a patient home where he can get used to the new surroundings and feel comfortable.  On our walks, he displays a good nose for scents and loves seeing the birds in the field.  He is on the smaller side for a Lab and will be a very nice dog given some time. About Me:  I can’t believe how long that drive was to MN.  I am really happy to be here, even though at first I seemed very scared.  I’ve had a lot of things happen to me in my first year of life.  I am looking for a family that will take time with me and show me what a dog is supposed to do. HASRA saved myself my sister and me from living in that kennel for months on Christmas Day.  What a relief that was.  Now I am in MN and determined to find that family that will bring the best out of me.  Please think about filling out an application, and let's meet!  Thanks Laddie December 6, 2025, 9:31 pm

Story
Big, beautiful, and full of life — Channing is a young chocolate lab with a story that deserves the happiest of endings. He came to BENCHS after being seized by the Police Department when he was found abandoned in a rental unit. When he arrived to the impound, he was severely emaciated… but this incredible boy never stopped fighting for his second chance. Today, thanks to good care and good food, Channing is a healthy nearly 80 lbs, and he’s finally ready to find the family he’s always deserved. Channing is estimated to be around 2 years old, though he has all the playful, goofy energy of a much younger pup. True to his lab roots, he LOVES toys — give him a big bucket of them and he’ll happily scatter them around the house as he entertains himself. He thrives with exercise, enrichment, and an active lifestyle. He is sweet and friendly, but because he still takes treats with a lot of enthusiasm, we recommend a home without very small children while he continues working on gentle manners. He is also a strong dog physically and will benefit from a family comfortable with big, energetic breeds. Channing is dog-selective, especially with intact males (which he did not care for at the impound). He may do best as an only dog or with a carefully matched companion. We’re still unsure how he feels about cats. Despite everything he’s been through, Channing is a happy, joyful dog with a huge heart. He’s ready to leave his past behind and start the next chapter — one filled with love, play, stability, and a family who will never abandon him again. If you’re looking for a fun, loyal, energetic companion who will adore you with his whole giant lab heart, Channing might be your perfect match.
