Story
Dexter is a 30-lb mixed breed with a sweet, personable nature and a lot of love to give. He enjoys being around people and soaking up attention, and he has a nice balance of playful energy and relaxed, easygoing moments. Dexter was recently involved in a dog fight with another male dog, and because of that experience, he would do best in a home as the only dog or with a very friendly, social, well-matched canine companion who respects boundaries. With thoughtful introductions and the right fit, Dexter can thrive and feel secure. His medium size makes him a great option for many different households, whether you’re looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion, or both. Dexter is ready for a fresh start in a calm, loving home where he can feel safe, supported, and truly part of the family. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving dog who deserves a second chance, Dexter may be your perfect match.

Story
Leo is a 5-month-old Lab mix weighing about 36 lbs, and he’s a growing puppy with a sweet heart and lots of potential. He enjoys people, loves attention, and has that classic puppy mix of playful energy and affectionate moments. Leo was recently involved in a dog fight with another male dog, and because of that experience, he would do best as the only dog in the home or with a very friendly, social, well-matched canine companion who can help him build confidence in a positive way. With proper introductions and a supportive environment, Leo is expected to continue learning and thriving. We are unsure how Leo would do with cats, so any introductions should be done slowly and thoughtfully. As a young pup, Leo is still developing and will benefit from structure, consistency, and continued positive experiences as he grows. He’s ready for a fresh start with a family who can provide patience, guidance, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a young dog with a bright future and a heart ready to bond, Leo may be the perfect fit.

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.

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
Domino was found as a stray and never claimed. He was born in March of 2022. He is an 80 lb Lab mixed with an energetic goofball. He should be fine with older kids and adults. Domino has some dog friends here, but isn't fond of others, so an introduction to your dog would be a good idea to see if they click. Domino also should be in a cat free home. Domino has a big personality and loves attention, he keeps a clean kennel here, so the transition to home should be easier. Domino really wants a home and a family. Will you come and make his dreams come true? All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.
