Name: Daira Age: Puppy DOB: 10/18/25 Gender: female Breed: Border Collie/ Labrador Retriever mix Weight: 21 lbs Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: yes Child friendly: yes House trained: in progress, puppy Crate trained: in progress, puppy Energy level: Moderate Temperament: sweet, snuggly, docile, easygoing, loyal Requirement: Not apartment appropriate, but could be in a condo or duplex Adoption Fee: $525+tax To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html Hi there! I’m Daira, a sweet Border Collie and Labrador Retriever mix puppy with a heart as big as my paws. I’m new to Minnesota and still discovering all the exciting things about being an indoor pup. My distinct white-tipped front paws and question mark tail are my signature markings and make me different from my sister. For most of my young life, I lived outside on my own, so every cozy new experience now feels extra special and exciting to me. I’m a curious little explorer at heart — I love sniffing out new corners, chasing a bouncy toy, or investigating a new sound. I also have a soft, cuddly side and adore curling up on a warm bed or snuggling on the couch for quiet time with my people. Sometimes I’ll nuzzle in close just to make sure I’m part of whatever is happening, and I always appreciate gentle pets and love-filled attention. I get along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids, and I have a calm, friendly nature that makes it easy for me to bond with new friends. I’m still learning house training and crate training, but I’m making steady progress and respond well to patience, structure, and positive encouragement. I enjoy short walks, play sessions, and discovering new sights and smells, and I’m looking forward to learning even more as I grow. I dream of a family who will share life’s adventures with me — from playing in the yard, going on safe walks, learning new tricks, to quiet evenings curled up together. I’m loyal, loving, and full of potential, and I want a home where I can be a true part of the family, sharing love, laughter, and lots of cuddles along the way. Please complete an application so that we can meet one another! Daira will be spayed February 12th      January 26, 2026, 8:02 pm

Story
  Name: Natz  &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143 Wish Upon a Star Age:  1. 5 years Gender: male Breed: Labrador Retriever/ Collie Mix Weight: 37 lbs Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: yes Child friendly: yes House trained: yes Crate trained: yes Energy level: moderate Temperament: sweet, intelligent, reserved, loyal Requirement: Not suited for apartment living, but would thrive in a town home or condo Adoption Fee: $375+tax   Wish Upon a Star Adoption Special. 50% Discount will be applied to this fee.   ( For animals who have been in care for over 6 months are eligible for 50% off their adoption fee.) To adopt, go to: http://www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html Some stars take a little longer to find their sky… and Natz has been patiently waiting for his wish to come true. Natz isn’t the kind of dog who rushes headfirst into the world. He watches first. He listens. He takes his time—because when Natz gives his heart, he gives it completely. When Natz made the long journey from Alabama to Minnesota, everything felt unfamiliar. New sights, new sounds, new people. At first, he wasn’t sure who to trust. But after a few quiet days, something shifted. He realized he was safe. He realized these humans were kind. And once that trust settled in, it was as if a snuggle switch flipped—revealing the deeply affectionate, loyal soul he had been keeping close. Natz may be shy at first, but give him a few minutes and he’ll lean in for pets, soaking up every bit of affection. He’s learning puppy manners quickly (he’s already picking up “sit”), loves going on walks, and is working on curbing his enthusiasm on leash. He does great in his crate, though he prefers spending his time roaming freely through the house or yard, always keeping track of where his people are. There’s a sweetness to Natz’s cautious nature. It isn’t fear—it’s thoughtfulness. He values security, routine, and connection. Once he bonds with his family, his loyalty is undeniable. He has joyful bursts of puppy energy, and when playtime is done, he’s more than ready to settle in for cozy snuggles. From Natz himself: He doesn’t rush into things. He likes to be sure. But once he knows he’s safe, once he knows you’re his, your voice becomes his comfort and your presence becomes his home. Curled up beside you, the world suddenly feels a lot less big.   January 29, 2026, 8:08 pm

I have spent most of my life outdoors, so indoor living is still new to me—but I’m catching on fast and discovering just how amazing warm blankets, cozy naps, toys, and love can be. I’m an explorer at heart and love checking out my surroundings, though loud noises can still startle me a bit. I enjoy sniffing, investigating new corners, and chasing toys, but I also love quiet snuggle time with my people. I’m dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and kid-friendly, and I respond well to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. I’m learning indoor potty training and crate training, and I’m eager to please and quick to learn new things. You’ll recognize me by my beautiful black coat with unique brown highlights and my adorable back toes dipped in white. I’m full of love, curiosity, and potential, and I’m excited to find my forever home where I can feel safe, happy, and truly part of the family. Could that be with you? If you are interested in meeting me, please fill out an application. I look forward to meeting you! Deidra will be spayed February 12th   January 26, 2026, 8:02 pm
