Story
Name: Sophie Age: 10 years Gender: Female Breed: Rat Terrier Mix Weight: 33 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, calm respectful dogs Cat friendly: Testing available upon request Child friendly: Yes, older calm gentle school-aged children House trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Energy level: Moderate Temperament: Sweet, fun, adventurous  Requirement: Not apartment appropriate Adoption Fee: $250+tax To adopt, go to:   www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family: Sophie is a sweet dog ready to start her next chapter. Sophie wants to be with her people-whether going for a car ride or watching TV, Sophie wants to be close by your side. Sophie loves to go for short walks, taking her time to sniff along the way. When she's not strolling with us through the neighborhood she enjoys snoozing in the sun, but due to light fur and fair skin she reluctantly takes breaks in the shade or allows you to apply dog-safe sunscreen.  She still got her spark because every so often she gets the Zoomies, but after about a minute she's looking for a soft place to rest.  Sophie is incredibly sweet and will be living her best life with people who are mostly home or can take her with them when out and about. A regular routine will not only help her transition quickly, but grow her confidence as your beloved pup. About Me: Hi! I'm Sophie and I'm so excited to meet you--don't let my age fool you! I'm 10 and considered a senior, but I love life and being by your side! I lived with my first owners since I was a puppy but was surrendered due to my humans no longer being able to care for me. I was a little overweight when I first came to my foster family, but with regular walks and a healthy diet, I've slimmed down to a healthy weight. I needed some dental work but that's all taken care of too--I am set! If you're looking for a sweet companion to join you in spending days and nights together then I'm your girl--can't wait to meet you!!!  June 26, 2026, 7:28 pm

Story
Meet Daisy — a little girl finally getting the second chance she’s always deserved. At 9 years old, Daisy is discovering what it truly means to be loved. Before entering foster care in January, she spent much of her life living on a farm, often in a garage, without the comfort, stability, and companionship every dog should know. Since then, her foster family has watched her slowly blossom into a devoted and affectionate companion.Daisy has made incredible progress in foster care. She is now kennel-trained, leash-trained, and learning household routines beautifully. She does well with pottying outside when let out consistently and continues improving with patience and structure each day.Because of her past, Daisy is looking for a very specific forever home where she can feel safe and secure. After years of relying only on herself, she prefers to be the only pet and would do best in a home without children. Early in foster care, she could be reactive when uncomfortable, but once her pain was identified and properly managed with medication, her true personality began to shine. With trust, consistency, and feeling physically better, she has formed strong bonds with her foster dad and the adults she knows best.And the real Daisy? She’s a sweetheart. A quiet shadow who simply wants to be near her people, soaking up love and companionship. She would thrive in a calm, lower-activity home with a single person or couple willing to continue giving her the understanding and stability she has worked so hard to trust. Daisy will need ongoing pain management, but in return she’ll offer unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and a whole lot of love.She may not have always had the chance to be this dog — but now she does. Could you be the one to give Daisy the peaceful forever home she deserves?Daisy is spayed and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations.To schedule a meet-and-greet, contact:• 507-451-4512 • steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com Adoption fee: $150

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Callahan came to the shelter on 4/7/2026 from the city pound when his stray hold was finished. He is pure energy in canine form. We think he's a pit bull mix of some kind, maybe with a smaller breed like rat terrier or Jack Russell. He seems to be around a year old, if not a little younger, and he has all the bells and whistles of a young, active dog. He has been vet checked and neutered and his fee is $150. Callahan needs someone who is ready, willing, and able to provide him with the training and exercise that he needs. He's a friendly guy but has obviously forgotten where his manners are, if he ever had them. However, the kid has potential (we're optimists). We think he'll be a lot of fun for someone. He really has a happy go lucky personality. Callahan would do best in a home without small kids. We're not yet sure how he would do with other dogs. Cats are most likely a no.  NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 26, 2026, 8:35 pm
