Story
Meet Finn! This sweet man came to us as a stray at the start of December 24' so unfortunately we don't know too much about his history but we do know that he knows sit, shake and loves treats! Finn is very well house trained and he has quite a bit of energy in him despite his age! We have not tested him with cats or other dogs yet but we do believe he would be good with dogs who are a little bit calmer. We think he'd be a good fit for most households but would prefer setting up a meet. If you are interested in this handsome man please fill out an application and hopefully find another addition to your family!

Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This sweet older gentleman is Steeler.  He found himself in a kill shelter with 2 other dogs that he had lived with after their owner had been incarcerated.   The shelter was asking for assistance in moving dogs out and everyone had been chosen except for Steeler.  Seeing this older guy in a shelter for so many months and then facing euthanasia because there's just not enough homes and too many dogs just hurt our hearts.  So Steeler had the journey into our foster care and now he is hoping for the journey to end with an adoption into a home of his very own.  He is a sweet gentle boy that would love to go on a walk, take a nap or watch a movie with you.  He can hang out with other dogs but he's also good just chillin on his own.  Steeler is a little too excited around the felines so a home with out cats is ideal.  He is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped.  His adoption fee is $150.00 and he would love nothing more than to hang out with you. September 12, 2025, 10:38 pm

Story
Meet Rusty!! This 1 year old petite pitty mix came to us when she wandered into some kind folks barn. Nobody claimed her so now she is looking for her forever home through adoption! Rusty is a high energy gal and will require an active owner that will be willing to bring her on adventures and give her an outlet to run some energy off. Rusty has been kid tested and seems to really enjoy them! She is okay with confident cats. Rusty enjoys other dogs, but tends to be a bit pushy and tries to be “in charge” so a non reactive resident dog might be a good fit for Rusty. Along with a confident owner that has some experience with the bully breeds.    Rusty enjoys toys and playing tug of war, and is getting better with her crate training. Rusty is eager to please humans and we know she will be a fabulous companion for the right adopter, could it be you? Rusty is spayed, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped! With an approved application her adoption fee is $275.00October 13, 2025, 6:40 pm

Story
Courtesy post for Goldmount Vet Clinic in Sherburn.  Please reach out to them with questions or if you are interested in adopting.  Their number is 507.848.9852 Bandit Blue was actually dumped by his owner (twice!) and then Bandit decided to rescue himself the second time by jumping in the UPS truck and going along on deliveries!  As the kind delivery driver was nearing the end of his day, he needed somewhere for this happy hitchhiker to go.  So Goldmount Vet Clinic agreed to take him in and now we are helping them get the word out.  Bandit Blue is sweet and young at likely a year of age.  He will need some training and work on being a good boy but he is still just a pup so some consistency will be key and that's really hard to provide in a veterinary boarding situation.  So if you are interested in this big lunk of love joining your family, reach out to the clinic.  He is now neutered, up to date on vaccinations and ready for his forever home!   November 18, 2025, 6:50 pm

Story
Meet King – A Special Soul with So Much Love to Give King has been through more than his fair share since arriving at our shelter. After a series of tests, we discovered that King has a rare congenital condition called atresia ani—a narrowing of the anus that makes it difficult and uncomfortable for him to defecate. Because of this, King requires a home where he can be taken outside every 3–4 hours and receive daily medication along with a special diet to help manage his condition and keep him comfortable. On top of his medical needs, King prefers to be the only pet in the home—he's not a fan of other dogs, cats, or young children. But don’t let that fool you—King is full of love, personality, and playful energy. He adores deflated soccer balls and loves to run around proudly carrying them in his mouth. When he’s done playing, he’s just as happy to curl up beside you for snuggles and soak in all the affection you have to offer. King would thrive in a quiet, stable home—maybe with a retired couple or someone who’s home most of the day and has the heart and patience to care for a truly special boy. He’s been overlooked for far too long, but we know the right person is out there. Could you be the one to give King the love and comfort he so deeply deserves
