Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 15 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Meet Henry! Henry is a cute, snuggly bundle of soft happiness who settles into new places quickly and loves being close to his people. He adjusts easily, follows his humans everywhere, and is always thrilled to see you, even if you only stepped out for a minute. This cheerful little guy enjoys going for walks, though he prefers shorter outings when it's cold or snowy.Henry is mostly house-trained but still has occasional accidents during cold weather. He is crate-trained and will happily go into his kennel on his own, though not always on command. Once inside, he’s content, unless he’s left alone. Because Henry was abandoned in the past, he may have some separation anxiety. He is very vocal when he can't see his person, making him not well suited for homes with shared walls.Henry has not had much exposure to other dogs or cats, but he is friendly and curious during dog encounters outside the home. He is great with kids and enjoys affection, cuddling, and hanging out by your side. His favorite toy is his stuffed Lamb Chop, and his least favorite thing is being alone.With a happy, bright personality and plenty of energy, Henry will thrive with someone who is home often and enjoys daily walks. He does not require a fenced yard and tends to stay close during outdoor time, though his new family should still keep a close eye on him.If you’re looking for a small, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be with his person, Henry might be the perfect match!If you are interested in Henry, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Story
History: Princess is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon! A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Princess, although my foster family calls me Peanut. My foster mom says I am a 10 pound bundle of sweetness. I’m very shy but I’m starting to understand that this new world is full of snuggles, warm beds and lots of good food. I like to be in the same room with my people and sit near them on the couch. I’d rather not be picked up, though. I sleep quietly in my kennel and keep it clean. As long as I can go outside regularly, I don’t have accidents in the house. I love being outside! I love to chase my foster brother around the yard,even though he’s three times bigger than me. And when we’re done playing, I like to snuggle on the couch with him and my even bigger brother. I’m very quiet. I love food! But I don’t like to eat when anyone is watching me and I don’t like to take treats from anyone’s hands. My foster mom is working with me to get past that so that I can learn things like going up and down stairs and walking on a leash. She says that will really open up my world, but it’s hard for me to trust people right now. I’m working on getting braver and my mom says I’m really making a lot of progress. I’ve come a long way in just a few weeks. She tells me all the time how wonderful I am; I’m starting to believe her. My foster mom and I hope I find a forever family who understands that I’m a timid girl and will give me as much time and patience as I need to get comfortable. We both think I’m a perfect fit for just the right family!

Story
History: Annalise is a beautiful girl who arrived to rescue recently and immediately warmed our hearts. She is officially ready to start her journey in finding her forever home and hopes to find them soon! A Note from the Foster: Annalise’s story is one of quiet resilience and blossoming joy. For the first four years of her life, she knew only the confines of a crate. She missed out on the gentle touch of a loving hand, the freedom to run, and the comfort of a family. But despite that hard start, Annalise has a heart that overflows with hope. Her tail wags endlessly, and her eyes shine with the desire to trust, love, and belong. Personality This little girl radiates happiness. Annalise adores the company of other dogs and finds her greatest joy in play. Big or small, she doesn’t mind—she just wants a buddy who will wrestle and romp with her. Her very best friend right now is a 40-pound Wheaten Terrier, and together they remind us what second chances look like. Though still a bit skittish, Annalise’s determination to connect is inspiring. She leans into her humans, wagging furiously, and when night falls, she longs to be close—curled up by your side, finally feeling safe. Training & Home Life Potty Training: A work in progress, but she’s eager to learn with gentle guidance. Leash Training: She hasn’t yet learned the leash, so a patient family will need to help her discover the outside world at her own pace. Eating Habits: Annalise is a wonderful eater—mealtime is one of her favorite parts of the day! Sleeping Style: At bedtime, she wants nothing more than to snuggle near her people, soaking up the love she missed for so long. Ideal Home Annalise’s perfect home is one filled with kindness, patience, and play. Another playful dog is essential for her happiness—someone who will wrestle, chase, and teach her all the joys of being a dog. Because she isn’t leash trained yet, a secure fenced yard (or safe outdoor space) will give her the freedom she’s never had while keeping her safe. She came from a place of confinement, but her future is bright. With every tail wag, every joyful bounce, and every tentative snuggle, Annalise shows us her bravery and her boundless capacity for love. If you open your heart to her, Annalise will gift you with unwavering devotion, daily joy, and the privilege of witnessing a soul truly set free.

History: Isaac is a super handsome boy who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with his smile and happy personality. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon! Isaac is deaf but does well despite this! A Note from the Foster: Meet Isaac: 14 lbs of Pure Fun! 🐾 Don’t let my tiny size fool you—I’ve got a big personality! I may be deaf, but I make up for it with a heart full of love, boundless energy, and yes… a lot of barking (I take my job as the neighborhood announcer very seriously). Playing is my favorite thing in the world (seriously… PLAY!!!! 🎾) and I’m always ready for a game. Treats? Yes, please! My eyes light up at the very sight of them. I’m a pro at doing my business outside when kept on schedule, and I sleep soundly in my crate all night (and keep it nice and clean). A fenced yard would be my dream so I can run and explore safely. Chew toys are my jam, and if you’re looking for a constant, loving shadow, I’m your pup. I’d also love a playful dog buddy in my new home to join in all the fun! 🐶💞 If you’ve got energy, toys, snacks, maybe another furry playmate—and don’t mind my vocal side—we might just be a perfect match! 💕

Story
History: Rio is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon! A Note from the Foster: Rio is a 1 year old male maltese and what a personable and happy little guy he is! Rio just completed three weeks in a board & train program where he was working on building some skills and manners to set him up for success. This training also comes with a lifetime of support for Rio while in rescue and continues once he is adopted as well. Now that he has some basics under his belt, he needs a foster who can continue helping him practice and become his best self. Check out what the trainer has to say about him: "Rio is a very energetic and smart pup who needs to be given ways to burn energy. That, including the lack of structure and socialization is what has contributed to his reactivity toward so many things. I've focused primarily on engagement, socialization, settling, and leash walking. He will need to be supervised and on leash when outside to keep up with training. He shouldn't be allowed to roam freely outside without guidance. He does like other dogs, but he needs a proper example to lead him. He's still learning proper social dog cues, so the wrong housemate could lead him astray. Ideally, he's the only dog in his home, paired with people who are dedicated to fulfilling his needs. He's not the type that will thrive being a "couch dog". If there are kids in the home, I'd recommend older kids (15+). If he is in a chaotic family home, I can predict that'll only feed his overstimulated tendencies which feed that reactivity. To set him up for success going forward, he should be with someone who has time for him and is okay with structuring him (place, crate, etc.)."
