Story
*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* ---- Emmitt is what you’d get if you combined a retired grandpa, a part-time detective, and a full-time couch ornament. This man is aggressively chill—his daily agenda includes sniffing every square inch of your home like he’s solving a decades-old mystery, followed by an intense nap to recover from all that investigative work. He transitioned into his foster home like he’s done this before (honestly… suspiciously smooth), and now his life goal is simply to exist within a 5-foot radius of his humans at all times. Potty breaks every few hours? Acceptable. One respectable evening stroll? Also acceptable. The rest of the day? Dedicated to corner sniffing and perfecting his “professional lounger” status. Toys? Balls? Please … Emmitt did not come here for childish activities. He prefers sophisticated hobbies, like couch sitting, people watching, and—concerningly—searching for “treasures” (read: dead things) in tall grass. A true man of refined yet questionable taste. He loves everyone he meets and will greet you with a wagging tail like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Mornings include a little conversation if you ask nicely, and when he’s fully relaxed, he’ll bless you with the tiniest, sweetest snore you’ve ever heard. Now, let’s address his one enemy: the crate. Emmitt is not just anti-crate—he is actively plotting against it. This man has attempted prison breaks by bending the wires like a tiny, furry escape artist. He would very much prefer sleeping in a real bed… preferably yours… under the covers… like he pays rent. Training-wise, he’s not out here trying to win obedience competitions, but he does understand “no”—especially if it interrupts his occasional side quest of sneaking downstairs to test your carpet’s absorbency. He’s mostly house trained, just working with a… let’s call it a “frequent flyer” bladder situation, so regular potty trips are key. Overall, Emmitt is a low-key, lovable weirdo who just wants a human around most of the day to keep him company while he lives his best, slow-paced, sniff-filled life. If you’re home a lot and looking for a loyal, slightly ridiculous sidekick with big “retired but still curious” energy—Emmitt is your guy. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your Senior dog in top shape.

Story
Say hello to Ember! She is housetrained. Ember has been around children of all ages in the past and did well. She also has been around cats in the past and has displayed a prey drive toward them. Due to this, Ember should not go to a home with cats. She has had mixed experiences with other dogs in her past two homes. She grew up around small and large dogs and did well; however, when meeting new dogs, she was vocal. Slow and proper introductions to resident pets and children are always recommended when bringing a new animal into the home. Ask a TCHS staff for tips on how to ease the transition. Ember would love to have durable toys to chew on and keep her entertained. She loves squeaky toys and attention! Patient and consistent training using treats is a good way to work on obedience cues. Ask a TCHS staff about training and suggestions for the perfect toy for your new friend from the TCHS Re-Tail Shoppe. *Adoption holds may be placed on available animals in person or by calling 320-252-0896. An adoption hold reserves available animals for one day after the animal is ready to be adopted. More than one adoption hold may be placed on an available animal and will be honored in the order they were received. Adoption holds are $25 plus tax, are non-refundable, non-transferable and not applied toward the adoption fee. **Minnesota sales tax and an administrative fee ($20 for cats/dogs and $10 for small animals) will be applied to all adoptions. Donations and adoption fees help cover the cost of spay/neuter surgeries, microchipping, vaccinating, deworming, any medical procedures, and general care of all shelter animals.
