Story
This Sheltie requires a yard with a secure, physical fence with direct access from the house. We adopt locally to the Twin Cities metro. We are not able to coordinate distance placements. Apply at Adoption Wes, aka Grandpa Wes, Buddy and Teddybear, is an amazing little guy! He has such a sweet personality! He will be a great addition for a senior-loving single-story home, or a home that can accommodate his age-related vision limitations by blocking off access to stairs. Age: 12 yrs young! Size: 25 lbs. Temperament: Wes is very sweet, highly treat-motivated, and has a fun personality. Wes was shy and unsure when he first came to rescue, but he has blossomed in his foster home and has quite a spunky and fun personality. Fence: Recommended due to vision limitations and because Wes does not have experience with leash walks. Dogs: Wes gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, including Shelties and 5 lb. Chihuahuas. Cats: No cats in his foster home. Wes reportedly got along with the cat in his previous home. Kids: No kids in his foster home and Wes has not had exposure to children. Due to some vision limitations, Wes would do best in an adult home, or a home with an older child who understands about giving a senior dog space and waiting for a dog to initiate interaction, and who can be responsible to close doors to prevent accidental escape. Crate Use: Wes uses a crate when transported in the car, and has free run of the house in his foster home. Housetrained: Yes Responds to Cues: Wes does well with routine and predictability. It can take him a few days to get used to a new environment. Once Wes is familiar with the layout of the home and routine of going outside, he does very well. Wes responds to his name and nicknames. Leash Walks: Wes is new to wearing a collar and using a leash. Car Rides: Car rides have been to go to the vet and groomer. Wes is crated for transport for his safety. Activity Level: Low, as expected for his age. When excited, Wes can break into a frolic and looks like a little goat hopping around! It’s absolutely adorable! Wes may pace when he is in a new environment or getting used to a new routine. Barking: Wes is very quiet - such a plus! He will bark with joy when excited. This is usually out in the yard when he’s really happy. Health: While in rescue, Wes has had an exam, bloodwork, thyroid test, tick screen, heartworm test, vaccinations, and a dental with extractions. He still has many teeth left to enjoy his treats and chews, and is in good shape for a senior! He is on Carprofen daily. Wes does have limited vision. He can see well enough not to bump into objects, but has trouble with distance and depth perception (stairs). Extra precautions need to be taken to make sure Wes does not have unsupervised access to stairs, or that stairs are blocked with a gate. All that Wes requires is a home full of love, some safety precautions to accommodate his vision limitations, ….and treats! He will be such a joy in your life! Adoption fee: $250 We adopt locally in the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota.

Circle Pines, MN
Size

Story
We adopt locally to the Twin Cities metro. We are not able to coordinate distance placements. Apply at Adoption Pinkerton is the sweetest, most loving boy! He will thrive in a senior-loving single-story home, or a home where he does not need to manage stairs to be with his person and to go outside. He has been dearly loved all his life, he will be your best friend! Read more: Age: 11 yrs young! Size: 47 lbs. on his way to a goal weight under 30 lbs. Temperament: Pinkerton is a very happy boy! He just craves attention and will take endless pets as he gazes at you lovingly. He loves everyone he has met! Fence: We will consider a home without a fence with a family who will commit to keeping Pinkerton safely leashed 100% of the time for his lifetime whenever he is outside of a securely fenced area. Pinkerton has experience eliminating while on a leash. Dogs: Pinkerton gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, and lived with a Shih-Tzu previously. Cats: Unknown. There are no cats in his foster home. Kids: No kids in his foster home and it is unknown if Pinkerton has had exposure to children. Due to pain and stiffness that is likely weight-related, Pinkerton would do best in an adult home, or a home with an older child who understands appropriate interactions with an older dog. Crate Use: Pinkerton uses a crate when transported in the car, and has free run of the house in his foster home. He sometimes sleeps in his crate, which has a bath mat to assist him in getting up. Housetrained: Yes Responds to Cues: Pinkerton does well with routine and predictability. It can take him a few days to get used to a new environment. He’ll do most anything you ask for a treat! Leash Walks: Currently leash walks should be short to prevent further pain and stiffness. As Pinkerton approaches his goal weight, leash walks will be much more comfortable and enjoyable for him. He likes walks! Car Rides: Car rides have been to go to the vet and groomer. Pinkerton is crated for transport for his safety. Activity Level: Low, as expected for his current mobility level. Barking: Pinkerton is quiet for a Sheltie - a plus! He will bark with excitement about food. Health: While in rescue, Pinkerton has had an exam, bloodwork, thyroid test, tick screen, and heartworm test. Pinkerton is on Carprofen daily for pain and stiffness, likely weight-related. He is able to do 2 or 3 steps but it will be some time before he can do more than that. We are hoping that, as he approaches his goal weight, he will be more mobile and regain strength in his back legs through exercises. He is able to walk on a hard floor but struggles to get up when lying on a hard floor. He has fewer issues when on a rug or carpet. Pinkerton will be such a joy in your life! He is perfect for someone with few or no stairs, who wants an easygoing, adoring boy to love and to enjoy slow, leisurely walks together, and who can support him toward his goal weight so he can be as healthy as possible. Adoption fee: $250 We adopt locally to the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota.

Story
✨🐾 Looking for a Special Home for a Very Special Sheltie 🐾✨ We are searching for the perfect forever home for our purebred Sheltie, a sweet 9-month-old boy with a huge heart and a few unique challenges. When he was a tiny puppy, his mom accidentally sat on him, which left him blind in one eye and possibly with some neurological quirks. Because of this, he has good days and bad days, and he’ll need someone who can offer patience, consistency, and lots of love. 🌟 About Him: • 9 months old, purebred Sheltie • Blind in one eye • May have some mild neurological issues • He can be aggressive at times. • Currently on gabapentin (we’re not seeing much improvement with it) • Needs extra attention, gentle handling, and a calm environment • Incredibly sweet, affectionate, and tries so hard to be a good boy • LOVES being close to his people and thrives with routine • On good days, he’s playful, goofy, and full of personality

These pups are in Buffalo, Minnesota too!

Story
Location: Woodbury, MN Meet Shadow 🖤 (Professional Observer. Selective Snuggler. Equal-Opportunity Cuddler.) Shadow is the kind of dog who watches the room before entering it. He’s thoughtful, intelligent, and takes his job as “emotional barometer” very seriously. Once he decides you’re safe, he’ll reward you with quiet companionship, soulful looks, and the occasional dramatic sigh. He’s affectionate—but in a low-key, meaningful way. Shadow isn’t here to sit on your face or steal your snacks. He prefers leaning against you, settling nearby, and choosing closeness rather than demanding attention. Once comfortable, he happily shares his affection with the people he trusts — including curling up for a snuggle when the mood is right. Shadow is kennel trained, house-trained, and highly tuned in to his surroundings. He thrives with predictability, clear boundaries, and humans who speak fluent Dog Body Language™. Because he’s sensitive and perceptive, he does best with older kids or teens, and with younger kids only if introductions are slow and respectful. Energy-wise, Shadow is solidly medium. He enjoys walks, toys, and short play sessions—but he’s equally talented at napping. He walks nicely on leash, appreciates calm “sniff and stroll” walks, and does not require a fenced yard. Bonus fun fact: his recall is quite good when expectations are clear (he likes rules—don’t tell the other dogs). Shadow can live in a multi-dog household, especially with calm, socially appropriate dogs and humans who manage shared resources like food, chews, and prime nap spots. With the right setup, he’s capable of peaceful co-existence and selective play—but he’s not into chaos, drama, or free-for-alls. Shadow bonds deeply but not possessively. He’s not a one-person-only dog — once he feels safe, he’s happy to snuggle with trusted humans and settle in wherever the vibes are calm. If you’re looking for a smart, soulful dog who will quietly choose you (and then maybe your partner too), Shadow might just be the perfect addition to your home. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: St Paul, MN Meet Juno! She has the cutest "masked" face and behind that mask is a beautiful girl with the sweetest temperament. She is eager to please and very affectionate. She's got the perfect amount of puppy energy combined with superb cuddling skills. Juno is housetrained and is quickly learning new commands like "sit" and "down". She gets along well with her resident dogs and loves toys. Juno is working on gaining weight as she came into the rescue underweight, but she loves eating so will quickly get back to an ideal weight. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
