Tess here, I am a bit on the shy side and take a while to warm up but I am so sweet once I know you are a friend. I LOVE other dogs and would do best in a home with another dog to play with and show me all the dog things. I am quiet, do great in my kennel and love the outdoors.

Story
Meet Isabel — the sweetest little fighter with a heart bigger than her wheels! Isabel is a 2-year-old rescue pup whose spirit shines brighter than the challenges she faces. She has hind-leg paralysis and is incontinent, but she doesn’t let that slow her down for a second. With her joyful personality and her “live life to the fullest” attitude, Isabel wins hearts everywhere she goes. This gentle girl is wonderful with cats, kids, and other dogs, making her an easy fit for all kinds of families. She adores toys, loves being included, and greets each day with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. Isabel is currently working on rehab with her dedicated foster, building up her core strength and confidence. While she will likely never walk unassisted, the goal is to get her moving around efficiently in her wheelchair, so she’s always ready for fun, cuddles, and adventure. If you’re looking for a loving, resilient companion who will remind you daily how beautiful life can be, Isabel is ready to fill your home with joy, courage, and endless affection.

Story
Hera is a gorgeous, one-year-old pit mix with a sweet and gentle soul. She was recently sprung from the shelter, where she'd been since March, and is currently learning how to be a dog in a home. Since she's still decompressing, her true personality is just beginning to shine, and she's ready to find a forever family who will help her blossom. This beautiful girl is all about finding a balance between play and snuggles. She loves to run and play outside and is learning to have an off switch inside when everyone is relaxing. She's a pro at crate training, is reliably housebroken when taken out regularly, and is a calm presence in the home—she rarely barks and isn't a jumper. She loves to curl up for a good snuggle and is also ready for an adventure. While Hera has shown no aggression, she prefers to have her own toys and sticks and would do best in a home with another dog who can handle sharing their toy box. She's been around dog-savvy young teenagers and has done great, but she hasn't been introduced to young kids or cats. Hera is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and ready to go home! If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion to help build confidence and who will fill your life with joy and playful energy, Hera is the one for you. Hera's adoption fee is $400 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.

Story
🐾 Meet Alsek (“Allie”) – Your Adventure-Ready Cuddle Bug! 🐾 Allie is a bright, energetic puppy who’s equal parts playful explorer and snuggly sidekick. She LOVES her toys—especially squeaky ones—and will happily entertain you with her adorable habit of tossing them into the air and chasing them down. A game of tug-of-war with her rope toy is one of her favorite ways to burn off energy before settling in for cuddles. Once playtime is over, Allie transforms into a total sofa pup. She enjoys curling up beside her people, soaking up pets, and listening to your voice. She’s a smart girl too—she’s starting to understand “no” and is learning to chew only on her toys. 🌟 Training & Routine Allie is doing great with kennel training and likes to keep her space clean. She’s on a good potty schedule and will let you know when she needs to go out, even during the night. She’s also learning that the jingle of her leash means it’s time to head to the door. On walks, Allie does well on the lead. If two people are walking her, she may trot ahead to keep everyone together—she’s a team player! She’s also used a cable run and does fine, but she’d be happiest with a fenced yard where she can explore, sniff the breeze, and watch birds to her heart’s content. 🚗 Car Rides & Adventures Allie has already gone on a few longer car rides and handled them like a champ. She rides comfortably in her kennel and seems open to all the adventures life has to offer. 🍽 Mealtime She’s enthusiastic about food and might benefit from a slow-feed bowl to help her pace herself. ❤️ The Perfect Family for Allie Allie is a sweet, affectionate pup who’s well on her way to becoming an amazing adult dog. She’s looking for a loving family who will keep her active, continue her training, and share lots of cuddles and adventures. If you’re ready for a loyal, joyful companion who will brighten every day, Allie might be your perfect match! 🐶💕 Her adoption fee is $425 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
Meet Onyx 🐾 (Yes we the love irony of his name) He is smart and the most chill 6 month old I’ve ever met. Crate trained, sleeps through the night. Working on potty training, only a couple of poo accidents when he’s off the tether have happened. Does well with tether training. He does try to eat his poop outside so we’ve been leash only and I’ve been giving him solid gold hoping that will help. Loves the kids. Could care less about cats. We have a couple of mouser cats and I brought by them and didn’t chase, just looked. which is great. He’s not a barker at things going on (I wish Leo had this quality 😒) he will only bark when he’s in his kennel and wants to be out. (Initially at bedtime for about 5 min and in the morning when I come upstairs and he’s anxious to get out). Loves Nylon bones, he makes good choices about choosing his toys and not hands, furniture or shoes. He likes to play with Kodi (our Shepard) and run in the yard with the kids, but loves to also be a couch potato or lay chewing on his bones. We’ve been using his shelter name, Onyx and he’s figuring it out and listening to it in the house. We are going to take him to a private dog park (I had no idea these exist) tomorrow so we’ll see how good his recall is outside off leash. He loves to lay in the kitchen when I cook but does not try to jump on counters. He’s just loyal and wants to be by his foster momma 🖤 He’s mastered sitting and waiting for his dog bowl to hit the floor before he digs in. He needs a slow feeder but still chows down like he’ll never get a meal again. As fast as an eater he is he shows no food aggression. Just a piggy. 🐽 He did a car ride with me tonight for kid exchange and he did good. He loves heated seats 🤣 He was instantly fine with our smaller dog who is passive. Kodi (big dog, more dominant) it took him about 3/4 days before they would stop growling at each other, showing teeth. They’ve adjusted, so just knowing if he goes to a house with another big dog, his fight or flight response if he’s scared or intimidated would be fight so they need a slow slow transition. We kept Kodi away completely, either on the other side of the gate or on a leash too for 2 days then we did intermittent moments of them coming together and sniffing for another 1 to 2 days. Onyx’s adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he 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.
