Story
Sweet Senior Seeks Quiet Home Meet Haus! This sweet, quiet Rat Terrier mix is around 8 or 9 years old and is looking for a peaceful home where he can spend his golden years enjoying strolls to explore and sniff everything. Haus is a gentle soul who loves nothing more than to soak up the sun and enjoy the simple pleasures of a quiet life. What Makes Haus Special Haus is a calm and easygoing companion. He’s already house-trained and is very quiet in his kennel. He's not a fan of a lot of commotion and would prefer a home where he can be the star of the show. He's a little shy around other dogs, so a home where he's the only pet would be ideal. Who is Haus's Ideal Companion? Haus would thrive in a quiet, calm household. He's looking for a family with adults only or with older, respectful children who understand and appreciate his gentle nature. He dreams of a home with a yard where he can spend his days leisurely sniffing the breeze and basking in the sunshine. He even still enjoys a few miles of walking each day. If you have a comfy spot on the couch, he'd love to share it with you too. Haus is in Stage 1 Kidney disease. He is doing very well on a canned food diet and occasional sub-Q fluids. He will need bloodwork a few times a year to make sure his levels are staying steady. Even with that diagnosis, Haus is still so happy and enthusiastic about life. If you're looking for a chipper, loving companion who will fill your home with quiet joy, Haus might be the perfect fit for you. Haus’ adoption fee has been waived due to his need for continuing care after adoption. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website. www.northernlakesrescue.org

Helga

Female, 7 yrs 3 mos

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
This sweet mama has done a wonderful job raising her puppies, and now it’s her turn to find a loving forever home. Helga is a beautiful, laid-back girl who is both independent and affectionate—a perfect balance for someone looking for a companion without the constant demands of a high-energy pup. Helga appears to be housebroken—she patiently waits to go outside and has never had an accident on the porch. She’s also doing well on a leash and comes back eagerly when called (especially if treats are involved!). She enjoys exploring the yard and taking her time to poke around, but she always checks back in with her people. She’s very loving with her foster family and happily soaks up pets and attention, but she’s also content to relax on her own. Helga does bark at unfamiliar noises, though it never lasts long. She is still heartworm positive and will need treatment, as well as to be spayed before adoption. As for cats, she’s a bit inconsistent—sometimes ignoring them completely, other times a little too interested—so a cat-free home or slow introductions would be best. Helga is ready for a family who will give her love, patience, and a safe place to call home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who is both calm and affectionate, Helga could be the one for you.

Sweet, smart, and oh-so-loving, Joe is ready to steal your heart. His mom is a Rat Terrier and his dad seems to have been a Lab or maybe a Hound, giving him a wonderful mix of smarts and sweetness.
