Story
Mama Everest is a stunning husky/shepherd mix with a heart as big as her name. She comes to us from the Red Lake Reservation, where she did everything she could to keep her babies safe in the harsh Minnesota cold. Everest gave birth under a porch, sheltering her puppies as best she could. A kind community member brought the puppies inside to keep them warm, while Everest stayed close by—watching, waiting, and protecting from outside, even though she wasn’t comfortable coming indoors herself. Her devotion never wavered. She has proven to be an incredible mama. Her puppies are healthy, happy, and chunky thanks to her constant care. Everest has done her job beautifully—and now, once her babies are fully weaned, she deserves the chance to be someone’s baby too. Mama Everest is gentle, resilient, and deeply loyal. She’s learning that she’s safe now and that humans can be trusted to take care of her as well. If you’re patient, compassionate, and ready to open your heart to a dog who has given so much of herself already, Mama Everest may be the perfect fit. Her next chapter should be one of rest, love, and forever. 💙 Her adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers her spay, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care she may have needed while in the rescue’s care. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are.

Story
Winnie is a beautiful 5-year-old Husky girl weighing about 50 pounds, and she comes with some seriously awesome house-dog skills. She is house trained, crate trained, walks nicely on leash, rides well in the car, and has done well with both dogs and cats. Basically, Winnie already understands the assignment. She is the kind of girl who is easy to love — sweet, smiley, and ready to be someone’s loyal sidekick. Whether she’s going for a walk, hopping in the car for an adventure, or relaxing at home, Winnie is happiest when she gets to be part of the family. When it comes to kids, Winnie would likely do best with older, respectful children who understand dog boundaries. Younger kids may be a little too overwhelming for her, so a calmer home with dog-savvy kids would be her best fit. Like any queen, Winnie does have a couple of boundaries. She can be protective of her food around other animals, so she should be fed separately and given her own space during meals, treats, and high-value goodies. She also isn’t a big fan of vet visits, so she will need a patient adopter who can help her feel safe and advocate for her during medical care. Winnie has so many wonderful qualities already in place and is looking for a family who will love her for the amazing girl she is — quirks and all. 🐾 Winnie’s adoption fee is $400 MN tax which covers her spay, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care she may have needed while in the rescue’s care. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are.

Story
Meet Lady, a smart and cuddly senior pup with the sweetest bear ears you can't resist! Her beautiful coat and eyes will melt your heart. Lady is house-trained and after settling in, she'll sit by the door to let you know when it's time for a bathroom break. She walks wonderfully on a leash and is working on mastering her sit command, especially when treats are involved! Lady is great with kids and people, and she loves belly rubs and playing hide and seek with her humans. While she can be protective of her food and bones, she’s respectful and will find a secret spot to stash her treats until she's ready to enjoy them. She's perfectly happy with other dogs as long as they respect her space, particularly when food or bones are involved. Lady would thrive in a home as the only dog or with a mellow older dog who shares her calm nature. She’s a loyal and loving companion who’s sure to bring joy to any household! Lady's adoption fee is $300 plus MN tax which covers her spay, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care she may have needed while in the rescue’s care. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are.
