Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rowen came to us on 4/23/2022 from our friends at the Rescue Network after he was rescued from a reservation in South Dakota. He's now a long term resident who's been overlooked, which is a shame. Having been with us for so long, one of our volunteers was curious about his breed mix and decided to find out with a dog DNA test. He's a pit bull mix with about a quarter of German shepherd and his appearance does hint at these results. He's a big boy who's aged out of puppyhood, but is still a lot of fun and likes to play hard. Rowen loves people and would be a great walking/running companion. Rowen is fully vetted and his $125 adoption fee is sponsored. Rowen is doing really well with basic training but does forget his manners sometimes. He needs someone who is willing and able to provide him with the exercise he needs, along with consistent training and boundaries. He is strong and active. He's a happy and outgoing dog with a slight mischievous streak that is kinda endearing. Cats? Most likely a no for him. He's looking for an adult only home. Teens are fine. He will require regular exercise to keep him happy and well balanced.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rudy, aka Rootin'Tootin'Rudy and the Rudinator, came to the shelter as an owner surrender on 11/6/2022. The woman had originally found him as a stray in a rural area. She was going to keep him as no owner was located. She decided that Rudy was just too energetic and strong for her to handle. He does have a slight impairment when it comes to his eyesight, perhaps due to an injury he sustained at one time or maybe a genetic thing. He has been vet checked and neutered and his fee is $125. Nothing slows Rudy down. He's a happy and rambunctious dude who literally bounces through life. He will need a lot of basic training and exercise. He keeps his kennel clean at the shelter. An adult only home would be best for Rudy (teens are okay). He is looking for a home with no other animals. A fenced yard would rock Rudy's world!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Alma is a pit bull mix who is now going on 6 years old and has had quite the history with us. In 2020, at around a year old, we first received her from the city pound after she was held there and never claimed by an owner. She was with us for over a year and was adopted in January 2022. Her owner's situation changed drastically in 2023, so Alma was returned in July 2023 after 18 months in her home. It was hard for both of them, as Alma (known in her home as "Pretty"), was very loved by her owner.  Alma did very well in her home. It was a fairly quiet environment with just Alma and the lady who adopted her. Alma did tend to be pretty protective of her person as it was just the two of them. We do think she would do best in a similar environment. She does seem to respond best to women. She's looking for an adult only home (teens are okay). No other animals. Alma is strong and active and will require regular exercise. Many of our volunteers have a soft spot for her and would like to see her get back into a home for good. She has been fully vetted and her fee is $125.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Story arrived as an owner surrender on 10/4/2023, when she was still under a year old. Before she came to us, she'd already been through several homes that didn't give her stability or everything she needed. We named her Story because she already had quite the story to her life for such a young dog. She is shy, but our volunteers have been working with her. She's a petite pit bull type mix, maybe with lab and other breeds. Her fee is $150 and she has been vet checked, spayed, and chipped. Story does need basic training. She hasn't had a lot of work on leash walking but is slowly getting the idea. She's looking for a somewhat calm home in which she won't be left alone for long hours. She needs someone who is ready, willing, and able to work with her on proper socialization and confidence. She is doing really well with other dogs and is gaining confidence. We're thrilled with her progress! Cats? We're not sure. Kids over 10 would be best. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ingrid is a friendly and stocky pit bull type gal with a beautiful brindle coat. She arrived on 10/23/2023 as she was found "stray", if not abandoned, at a local park. She was never claimed by an owner after fulfilling the legal hold time with us. She is around 3 years old and not too large, at around the 50 pound mark. She has been vet checked and spayed and her fee is $125. Ingrid enjoys the company of people. She would do best in an experienced adult only home (teens should be fine). We do feel that she would prefer to be the only pet in the home. She is pretty well mannered but might need a bit of basic training. She's a princess!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Todd is a large, happy, and beefy pit bull type mix who came to us on 12/3/2023. He was found stray in a rural area, held for the legal hold time, and no one claimed him. He is about 3 years old and we are guessing he could be mixed with mastiff and/or bulldog. He has been vet checked and neutered and his fee is $150. Todd is strong and has shown a little bit of dog reactivity at the shelter. This is not unusual as it's a pretty rowdy environment. He has calmed down a bit since his initial arrival. We do think he would do best as the only pet in the home. He could potentially do okay with a nice female dog. He loves people but does need a strong owner who can handle his strength and keep up with his energy level. He does appear to have had some basic training. No small kids for this bulldozer. This is due to his size and strength, not his personality!

Story
Hey everyone! Mona here. I'm about 1 year old and love everyone! I like to go for walks and after wearing myself out from that, I sleep as close to my foster family as I can - I love my people! I am playful and love toys. I am also a very happy young lady with a good appetite. I am spayed, up to date on shots, housetrained, and microchipped. You can contact steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com or call 507-451-4512 to set up a meet-n-greet. My adoption fee is $400.From Mona's foster family: She has the biggest heart and just wants to move and play with everyone she meets! With that she is extremely high energy and is the most playful pup! She does amazing with other dogs (does play hard so another pup who can handle her energy would be amazing!). Does not do well with cats. She is kennel trained, goes in when we leave for the day and at night. Is not a barker. We are working on potty training, she is doing great but have to be consistent with letting her out. She loves toys and playing but is a tough chewer so needs tough toys. Would highly recommend going through a puppy class just to work on her attention span😜🥰

Story
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a sweet and soulful 2-3year-old pup who's just starting to embrace all that life has to offer. She dreams of finding her forever home where she can truly live the "golden life. This poor girl was found with many injuries, including a skull fracture and road rash. Vets say that her injuries are consistent with either being hit by a car or being thrown from one. She is all better now. Poppy is a people lover at heart and thrives on human connection. Whether it's lounging on a comfy dog bed, snuggling up on the couch, or relaxing on a bed, she's all about cozy moments. She also has a soft spot for chew toys, making her the perfect companion for quiet evenings in. While she adores her humans, Poppy appreciates her own space when it comes to other dogs, so she'd do best as the only dog in the home. She is not a fan of bouncy dogs in her face. She's ready to pour all her love and loyalty into her special person. If you're looking for a laid-back, loving companion to share your life with, Poppy might be your perfect match! Poppy is getting spayed on Dec. 4 and can be adopted this weekend. Adoption fee is $300+ tax; apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Hi there, I'm Tiny Tim! I might be little, and yes, I'm missing one of my back feet, but trust me-it doesn't slow me down! I'm always on the go, ready to play, explore, and bring smiles wherever I go. Whether it's a game of fetch with my stuffies or a playful wrestle with my foster big brother, I'm all in for the fun. After all the excitement, I love nothing more than to snuggle up with my favorite humans. I'm a pro at cuddles and will happily keep you warm on those chilly days (which, by the way, I'm still getting used to-brrr!). Potty training? I'm working hard on it and getting better every day. I'd love to go to puppy training classes to show off how smart I am and learn new tricks. I think an active family would be the perfect fit for me, especially one who enjoys adventures and lots of love. Just a little heads-up: my play style is boisterous, so I'd do best in a home without small kids. I would love to have another puppy sibling to play with, and while I haven't been tested around cats, my lack of prey drive suggests I'll be just fine with kitty companions in the home. If you're looking for a tiny package of energy, fun, and snuggles, I'm your guy. Let's be best friends forever! Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee is $300 plus tax.
