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
Welcome to the world of Zeenie. I recently came into rescue and as with most new dogs to rescue I shut down. I didn’t eat, I just laid in my bed. But I am young and adjusted quickly. In a couple of days I started playing with my foster mom's husky, a couple more days I finally decided I would eat my food, not just take a couple bites. Now that I am comfortable I play with her dogs and we run and run in our yard. My original owner let me sleep in her bed so that is where I am comfortable. My foster mom is trying to get me to sleep in a dog bed at night but I am not doing it. When she is gone I do go in a kennel and don’t mind it. Oh and I learned how to use the doggy door pretty quickly. Now I run in and out like it is a revolving door! There is so much to see outside but yet I want to be in the house near my humans. I know some commands like sit and off. We are working on others. Well for only a week in rescue I feel I am doing pretty good. I sure hope to find myself my own family real soon. Can’t wait to meet you!!Adoption fee $295 plus tax____Please Note: We ask that an application be filled out before coming to the shelter. If pre approved, a meeting with the animal will be set up. To fill out an application, go to http://watonwan.weebly.com/adoption-application.html, All animals are current on vaccinations, sterilized and given flea/tick preventative. Cash or check only. For more information, our website is www.watonwan.weebly.com or call the shelter at 507-942-7387. For more information on cats, please email: petcompany@hotmail.com. Please note-not all dogs are at the shelter. Please call ahead
