Story
Hope has spent enough of her life being somebody’s mama. We think it’s time she finally got to be somebody’s baby. Hope is only about 3 years old, but when we first met her, her body told a much older story. She had clearly been bred over and over again, and she arrived looking like a dog who had spent far too much of her young life giving everything to everyone else. We met her during one of our shelter pulls. Her kennel sat right beside the small yards where we were evaluating dogs all day, which meant constant barking, movement, strangers, and dogs coming and going. Hope never made a fuss. She simply watched us, wagged her tail, and waited patiently for someone to come over. When we did, she pressed herself against the kennel gate so hard trying to get closer that her sweet little face practically smooshed through the bars. That calm, loving nature has only become more obvious with time. Hope is incredibly smart, knows basic commands, listens well, and has a wonderfully patient temperament. She loves people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and carries herself with the kind of steady confidence that makes her easy to have around. And now, she is healthy, spayed, at a good weight, and happy. The dog we first met has blossomed. Hope no longer looks like a dog who has been used up by life. She looks like a dog who is ready to live it. She enjoys affection, walks, companionship, and being included. She is sweet without being frantic, playful without being wild, and affectionate without demanding every second of your attention. She is simply a really lovely dog. Yes, Hope is a bully mix, and we know those dogs are often overlooked. But anyone who spends time with her quickly sees what the label misses: she is calm, intelligent, social, patient, and deeply loving. She has already done the hard part. She survived, healed, gained weight, got healthy, and learned that life can be good. Now she needs the part that matters most: a foster or forever home where she can finally belong. Scout’s Honor covers all expenses associated with fostering as needed. If you have been considering fostering or adopting, Hope is ready. It is time for Mama Hope to stop being everybody’s mama and finally be somebody’s baby. Apply at www.scoutshonor.org.November 11, 2026, 7:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Say hello to Barney (short for Barnacle)! This handsome fellow was found wandering by his foster parents' kiddo’s school. His foster mom reports that he has quickly made himself at home in our house and our hearts, but unfortunately we cannot be his forever home.   He'e a gentle giant who loves to settle in with the humans for a lazy day but will also happily accompany you on a stroll around the neighborhood. He has the patience of a saint with our very energetic, very playful 20 pound dog. He plays hard and he rests hard!   He has been great with the 6-year-old who is amember of the family. He'a happy just to have someone scratch his head and to follow the humans through the house (hence Barnacle).   Some logistics: we have taken him to our vet who’s best guess is he is 2-3 years old.  We did have the vet do all the standard vaccines so those are now up to date. He's house trained but not kennel trained. We have left him out in a bedroom with no issues. He doesn’t appear to have any food aggression and isn’t reactive to the other dogs or cats we have run into in our neighborhood when out on walks.   He needs to be neutered and we are currently working on scheduling that. He is also currently heartworm positive so we're working on getting that treated as well.  Please help us find Barney his forever home! He will be a wonderful best friend and companion to some lucky someone. If you are interested in Barney, please contact Pastor Alma at (507) 703-8464.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 13, 2026, 4:53 pm

Story
Rorshak is 4-5 years old and has been with us since March. Rorshak was taken in as a stray off the street and has not had a home since. He is an absolute sweetheart. He has a lot of energy, loves to play, and would love to have a big yard to run around in. He would fit well with any family! He is an affectionate and friendly dog with lots of love to give! He does so good with other dogs as well, even dogs with lots of energy! He is pretty good on the leash and does need to work on his jumping as he will jump on people when he gets very excited. If he can find a way to crawl into your lap, he will!
