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.

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 Nyx — our tiny powerhouse with a big heart! At just 17 pounds, Nyx may be petite, but she is full of life, love, and zoomies. Nearly 2 years old, this beautiful pit mix came to BENCHS with more than 10 other adult dogs from a single home, and she’s been nothing but sweet, spirited, and eager to start her next chapter. Nyx is a high-energy, excitable little firecracker who thrives on activity, playtime, and all the attention she can get. She adores people, leans into affection, and will happily soak up every ounce of love in a home that has room for her joyful personality. She does well with other dogs and would enjoy a canine friend who can match her playful style—though she’d just as happily be the center of someone’s world. Nyx is looking for a home that’s: ✨ Active – walks, playtime, adventures, or backyard games ✨ Affectionate – she wants to be your little shadow ✨ Ready for fun – she brings the energy and the smiles Small, spirited, and overflowing with sweetness, Nyx is truly one of a kind. If you’re searching for a tiny companion with a huge zest for life… Nyx is your girl.

Story
Blaze may look like a tiny pit bull puppy, but don’t let those baby-face features fool you—this boy is a full-grown adult, weighing in at just 17 pounds. He’s a compact, gentle, sensitive soul who spent his entire life in one home before coming to us with 10 other dogs from the same household. The sudden transition to shelter life has been overwhelming for him, and he’s still learning how to navigate this big, new world. Blaze is a sweet, soft, emotional little guy. In the kennel, he struggles with stress and can shut down, but once he’s out with someone he trusts, he starts to shine. During his one-on-one sessions, he warms up quickly—leaning in for comfort, taking treats, and relaxing right into your arms. He wants so badly to be brave; he just needs someone patient enough to guide him. Blaze does wonderfully with other dogs and would greatly benefit from living with a confident, social, happy adult dog who can help show him the ropes. He looks to other dogs for reassurance, and he blossoms when he has a buddy to follow. A calm, patient home A friendly dog companion to build his confidence Someone who understands that transitioning from his first and only home into the shelter has been hard on him Kind handling, consistency, and time to feel safe Blaze isn’t just cute—he’s resilient. Beneath the trembling and uncertainty is a dog who is trying so hard to be brave, who relaxes into gentle hands, and who wants nothing more than to feel secure again. With love, routine, and a steady dog friend by his side, he will absolutely thrive.
