Story
Introducing: LEONARD. The Super Senior Bully Mix He’s 12-ish years old. He’s going blind. His hips are about as trustworthy as a gas station sushi roll. He pees a lot. He humps even more. And somehow, he’s still the most loveable old man we’ve ever met. Leonard didn’t deserve to end up in a pound. He was found as a stray, unclaimed, and left behind. But guess what? We stepped in. Because no senior dog deserves to have their last chapter written in a cold kennel. Now Leonard’s days are filled with soft beds, snacks, belly rubs, and a whole lot of potty breaks. (Seriously, a lot.) He might be a little creaky, a little leaky, and a little freaky 🤭 — but he’s 100% adored. Would we love for someone to step up and give him the cushy retirement home he deserves? Absolutely. That would be the cherry on top. 🍒(he still has his). But until then, Leonard is living his best life with Northern Lakes Rescue, loved hard for however long he’s got. ❤️ Because even the oldest, quirkiest, most “oops I peed again” dogs deserve a soft landing. 🐾

Story
🐰 Meet Honey Bunny (aka Bunny)! A sweet, spirited 2-year-old mix with a heart full of joy and the cutest little folding ears you’ve ever seen. Bunny came to Minnesota all the way from Oklahoma, where she spent plenty of time socializing with other dogs. She has adjusted beautifully to her new environment and quickly made herself at home. One thing her foster mom has learned? This girl LOVES to play. Bunny’s favorite game is fetch—she’s still mastering the “wait,” but she will proudly bring that ball right back every single time, ears bouncing and tail wagging. 🏡 In the Home Bunny is a crate-training superstar—quiet, content, and always excited for ear rubs once she hears the “kennel” command. Treats may be involved… but can you blame anyone? She takes them so gently and is just too adorable to resist. She’s still figuring out “sit,” but she is potty trained and doing well with leash walking as she continues practicing her etiquette. Bunny is a smart little half-pint who enjoys hand feeding and doesn’t mind if her foster mom takes a toy away when needed. 🐶 With Other Dogs Bunny has great social experience but does have a couple preferences: She isn’t too sure about eating meals right next to another dog. When she gets overly tired, she sometimes prefers not to share her toys—totally understandable! With structure and continued guidance, she’s learning good boundaries and adapting well. 💛 Personality Bunny is a total delight—playful, loving, energetic, and full of charming quirks (including the cutest little snorts). She loves hard, plays hard, and snuggles even harder. 🏠 Ready for Her Forever Home If you're searching for a sweet, lively snuggle bug who will brighten your days and fill your home with happiness, Bunny is your girl. She's ready to hop right into the next chapter of her life—with you. Bunny'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. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.northernlakesrescue.org

Story
Hannah is a wonderful female dog who is all about love, laughter, and bringing joy to everyone she meets! She is a friendly, affectionate, loyal, and playful dog who will surely put a smile on your face. Hannah is a great dog for many types of homes. She is very people-oriented and will be your biggest fan and constant companion. She also gets along well with other dogs, so she could be a great playmate for your pup! Even though Hannah is a very good girl, she has had some troubles in the past so she prefers a home with no young children or cats. Therefore, she is looking for a chill home to ensure she can continue to be the sweet girl she is. She loves nothing more than a good couch snuggle session and spending time with her favourite people. Hannah is an all-around great girl who is sure to bring laughter and love into any home. We believe that Hannah would be an amazing addition to your family, and we are excited to help her find her forever home. She makes the world a better place and is a true example of the love and companionship. Let Love Live believes in an easy, simple and low barrier adoption process. Gone are the days of home visits and reference checks. The questions we ask on our application are to help make sure we get the right pet into your home, not to exclude adopters. Let Love Live rescues animals in Texas and many southern states. We have two locations, our shelter and sanctuary in rural Northeast Texas and our Minnesota foster-based program. If you are interested in meeting a pet, please fill out an adoption application. Once an application is submitted you will be assigned an adoption coordinator and at that time all questions will be answered during the approval process.
