Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Plum but we affectionately refer to her as Alice, a name that seems to resonate well with her, even though her response to names is not particularly strong yet. Alice is thriving and displays a gentle and sweet demeanor, especially towards my 11-year-old son. Evidently, she has spent considerable time with children and relishes their company. She eagerly joins my son in bed, finding her way under the covers to peacefully doze off—a clear indication of her yearning for a permanent home. Alice's physical attributes contribute to her charm, boasting surprisingly soft fur and a tender face, possibly hinting at some American Bulldog lineage. She delights in showering affection by licking faces endlessly and enjoys being cradled on her back like a baby for extended periods. While she responds well to commands like "crate up," occasional reinforcement is needed. Generally quiet and composed once settled, Alice has never indulged in people food, eliminating any begging behavior. However, if something piques her interest, she positions herself as close as allowed, even attempting to snatch it if not deterred. Her recall skills, especially outdoors, are lacking, likely stemming from a past where she had ample freedom to roam. Reactivity and impulse control pose challenges, particularly around lawnmowers, other dogs, loud vehicles, and joggers. Her behavior around these situations can be unpredictable at times so it necessitates careful management with a gentle leader and harness. A friend, who is a dog trainer, has confirmed these challenges but believes they are not insurmountable, with patience and professional guidance. Residing in a wooded area with a fenced yard, Alice spends her time observing wildlife, offering a positive outlet for her energy. She coexists well with another dog in the household. Alice is bright and quick to learn when motivated. Her sleep habits lean towards a more laid-back hound-like pattern, not exhibiting an early riser tendency. Alice's athleticism shines through in the backyard, where she bounces energetically and engages in enthusiastic pursuits. It's worth noting that she has endured past abuse, evident in moments of flinching during seemingly innocuous activities, highlighting the importance of understanding her background in shaping her behavior. Overall, with the right guidance and patience, Alice, the sweet and spirited dog, has the potential to overcome her challenges and thrive in a loving forever home. Plum is from a local impound.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* This sassy senior is still looking for her forever home.  Phyllis is looking for that special someone who understands an old lady may not always feel her prettiest and therefore wants to be left alone, may have extended nap sessions and sometimes just wants to pig out.   Phyllis would rather have short walks to her food dish and potty spot than long walks on the beach, or up and down many stairs, and she would prefer a spot where she can sleep near you so she knows you're sticking around. Phyllis does snore (as any self respecting bulldog does) so earplugs may be necessary if she sleeps right next to you.   Phyllis likes to talk. She likes to tell you when she wants attention, when she is hungry, when she has to potty and most importantly when she needs to be tucked in.  (Phyllis always prefers to be tucked in when she goes to sleep.)   Phyllis enjoys playing with you but not so much alone.  Squeaky toys are her favorite but she loves her lamby too. Phyllis knows to bring toys back and does so for as long as she wants to play.    Phyllis has lots of love left to give and wants to find the special person who wants to give it back. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Phyllis is from a local impound.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Barbara! She ticks off all the boxes for an ideal dog, although she does have some mobility challenges. Barbara is excellent in her kennel, where she also sleeps at night. She gets along great with other dogs, enjoying both playtime and cuddles with them. She's a good traveler in the car. Barbara rarely barks, usually only when she's excited during play with other dogs. If she feels stuck on a rug and can't cross the wooden floor, she might whine. While she manages well in her wheelchair for short periods, she struggles on hard flooring and prefers carpet or rugs. She's an amazing little dog! While we're uncertain about her interactions with cats and younger children due to lack of exposure, I believe she'd do well with both. Barbara is generally fine with strangers, a bit reserved initially but quick to warm up. Despite her limitations, she's fond of snuggling, whether on furniture or with a fuzzy blanket and dog bed. Barbara adores playing with her toys, chewing on bones, and engaging with the other dogs in the household. Despite her mobility issues, she's just as active and playful as ever. One of her ears always stands up, while the other never does. Barbara's typical day involves spending time at home with my husband, lounging on her dog bed, playing with the other dogs, and taking naps in her kennel. Several days a week, she accompanies me to the vet clinic where she spends the day kenneled. She receives plenty of attention and love from everyone at the clinic, watching us work and interacting with various dogs and cats. She's a joy in the kennel, and her involuntary little kicks are absolutely adorable as she hops around in and out of her cart. Barbara is from an owner surrender.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi everyone! I’m Chewy!!! I’m a fun loving guy looking for my adventure buddy. I LOVE people and other dogs. I get super bouncy when I see them and gently say hello when I get to meet them. I love playing with my toys, chewing on bones, and playing with my foster brother who teaches me how to dog.     My foster mom is teaching me fetch and lots of manners that I didn’t know I needed. I didn’t have my mom or siblings or another dog to play with until now so I’m having to learn that playing hard with my mouth isn’t nice and I have to learn to do it gently. I do love treats so I’m very motivated to learn and do take my treats super gentle. I know “off” and “sit”, and am learning down, stay, and gentle. I play nice with the kitties in the house and they let me know when I’m being too rough. My foster brother also tells me when I’m being rude.   My foster mom says that I have come a long way so far and thinks I need a strong leader who will keep up my training. She also thinks having a confident dog in my new home would be a good idea to keep teaching me how to dog, or some buddies that I could play with a lot as I’m a social guy and could learn a lot from them. My foster mom loves seeing me run zoomies around the yard showing what a happy and carefree pup I am. I love crawling up into her lap for some snuggles and belly rubs.    Ooh and I LOVE going for cars rides!! I love watching the scenery go by and smelling all the smells. I’d love to go on some adventures and see all the sights- ya wanna come with?   Chewy is from a local reservation partner.

Story
Hi! I'm Busta Rhymes but you can call me handsome. I'm a shortie with a cute face and a big heart. When I got to the rescue, they told me that I had two hurt legs. I knew something was wrong because it hurt quite a bit. I had surgery on one leg already and i'm all healed up. I'm getting ready for surgery on the other leg. (The rescue is covering this expense) Anyone who wants to adopt me should know that they would have to bring me to see my doctor in St. Cloud every couple weeks for a little while because he does the water treadmill with me to make sure I heal well. I'm awesome at it. I may need a little tlc but if you pick me, I promise to love you so much you won't mind the extra effort.

Story
Hey, I’m Surly. I’m a 10 year old English Bulldog. Although I am 10, I definitely still have some spunk in me.  I enjoy short walks but will definitely tell you when I’m over my walk and want to go back home to sleep on the couch.  I love cuddles and being covered up with a blanket while I sleep. I have a lot of sass and will tell you when I need something. I expect you to share every dish of food you make with me. I am potty and kennel trained but love being left out of the kennel to snooze on the couch while you’re away.I would never get into anything in the home and don’t really play with toys but I absolutely love bones.  I should go to a calmer house to live out my golden years. I have gotten 8 teeth removed so I’ll need yearly dental check ups to ensure the rest of my teeth are in good health and stay nice and clean. I had some masses on my body tested but they came back benign so thankfully everything is clear there. There should be no issues going forward. I am good with cats. I’ll either cuddle with them or ignore them depending on my mood. I am okay with dogs as long as they are calm and leave my food alone. I don’t like when other dogs are playing or running around too much. I’m a great car rider as well. On our walks or out in public, I really love meeting strangers and letting them say hi to me. I normally will stop walking when someone is approaching in hopes that they will see me staying at them and say hi to me! I have such a big personality and would love a bed to sleep in. Oh yeah, I always sleep in bed cuddled up next to my foster momma as well! I will definitely make you laugh every day. I am just a goof ball of a doggo and would love to meet you! Xoxo, Surly Butt Butt Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, dental, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $450 plus taxFitz is a fun loving puppy. He is picking up on housetraining, he had a few accidents but is starting to go to the door. We have a treat bucket at the door so he is associating treats with going potty outside. He absolutely loves his kennel. The door is left open and he is hoarding bones in there. He’s learning to sit and wait for me to say OK before he eats. We are also working on door manners so that when the door is open, he does not bolt outside. He is actually a pretty smart dog. He is great with dogs and curious about the cat however she does not like Fitz at all. He met plenty of people at a recent gathering and loved them all! He has met some kids agea 9-15 and did well. The baby he met was a bit scary to him. He has discovered his voice, puts his butt up in the air and his tail gets going and he doesn’t stop barking until you get down on the floor and play so I would say no to a shared wall BUT he is smart and will eventually learn.  Overall he’s a good puppy. He will make a great addition to any family, especially one with other dogs. He has a lot of fun energy.Fitz is currently being treated for Ringworm. This is a very common fungal infection but can take time to fully treat and clear. It will require proper environmental management, compliance with treatments and attending the rechecks at MARS Veterinary Services if adopted before the infection is cleared. Treatment will be covered by Midwest Animal Rescue if done at MARS Vet.  If you have previously applied with us please email adoptionatmars@gmail.com to reactivate your application with new interest.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  or    *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

Story
Name: Boyd Breeds: American Bully Age: Adut Sex: Male Size: Large Boyd is a 3-4 year old black, stocky, big headed, bully type dog, who is really a calm, level headed guy. He is currently fostered with other dogs and cats, as well as an assortment of outdoor animals and is doing fine with all of them. He is playful with the other dogs, but is really a people-oriented kind of guy so would do well alone in the home too. He isn't crated currently, but would be fine with it. He is definitely an experienced, in-the-home guy. Not only is he doing excellent with his potty training refresher, he also does not jump on the furniture. He instead likes to lounge around on a dog bed and spends the night curled up on his own foam dog bed in the bedroom. He isn't a chewer or a barker. He did announce that Amazon had arrived with a delivery, but he was chorusing along with the other dogs. Along with walks and naps, his favorite pastime is sitting next to his foster dad's chair and getting pats. This blockhead might not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but he is definitely treat-motivated and therefore trainable. He already knows basic commands like sit and shake and is working on down. He pulls a bit on the leash, but is improving all the time. He also has excellent recall off leash. While he is definitely calm, he also needs his daily walks. And a rope to tug on or even a big stall ball to play with outdoors. This guy has been well socialized and is ready to join you on your adventures. Or just hanging out, watching sports or a movie. Requirements: No special requirements Adoption Fee: $500 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fish is your quintessential playful and energetic pup! Plus, he's a total sweetheart, showering everyone with affection. He's quickly adjusting to his new foster home and is making remarkable progress with potty training. Crating poses no issue for him whatsoever. While he's still getting used to the older, larger resident dog, he's mastering the art of toning down his excitement and behaving politely. His encounters with cats, chickens, and horses are met with trepidation from a distance—they're quite intimidating! We'll keep you updated on his feelings toward his farmyard buddies once he's had time to settle in. When startled, he chirps or barks to express his curiosity, but settles down swiftly with a little redirection. He's astute and curious, often venturing off to investigate his surroundings. Though not overly clingy, he responds promptly when called or enticed with a fun toy.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Bucket is from Texas. He was being raised by a homeless man who carried him around in a bucket along with his brother.  They were both brought into rescue after being surrendered.  Bucket and his brother have  received  proper veterinary care while in rescue, and now it's time to find them both homes of their very own here in MN.  Bucket is a sweet boy who has found the joy of toys.. lol.  He will carry one in his mouth with him almost  everywhere  he goes.  This sweet boy is not completely potty trained, but what puppy is?  He operates on the puppy schedule of sleep, eat, play and then poop.  Making sure  that  he has adequate outside time roughly 30-45 minutes after being fed is crucial to getting him  potty  trained, and repetition and consistency are always key.  Bucket is not necessarily crate trained, but will come to his crate when called and will go in and settle nicely to go to bed at night.  covering his crate with a blanket to shut out outside  stimuli  is extremely helpful while crate training a puppy as well.  Bucket is a sweet sweet boy that is a bit on the reserved side, he would benefit from a confident resident dog to show him the ways of the world, but he definitely doesn't require one as a stipulation of adoption.  This sweet boy would be happy with a lap that he can call his own, and an endless supply of stuffies/toys to carry around with him.  If you think that he just couldn't be more perfect for you, please fill out an adoption application today!  He can't wait to meet you!   If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
