Story
With heavy hearts, we are looking for a new home for our beloved Frankie. We found her 1.5 years ago underneath a 4-wheeler at our cabin frightened, covered in ticks, and limping. After a vet visit, we learned her limp was due to Lyme disease, which we treated, and she has since recovered well. Unfortunately, we believe Frankie was previously bullied by a pack of feral dogs near our cabin, making her reactive toward other dogs. While she does well with submissive dogs after proper introductions and time, she struggles with dogs that challenge her. We recently rescued another dog, hoping they would adjust with time and training, but despite our efforts, tensions remain high. They have had two fights. Frankie has been working with a trainer for the past two weeks and is making wonderful progress with her basic commands. She is a sweet, loving girl, who loves to play fetch, swim and hike. She can go to breweries without a problem as well. She has a lot of love to give.

Story
Meet little Bramble!! This little girl is such a cutie. She is a blend of Australian Shepherd x Australian Heeler. She is probably one of the sweetest little deaf girls we have had. Don't let her deafness fool you, she is wicked smart, loves her people and want to be with them. Bramble gets along with other dogs, is crate trained, and almost completely house trained. A fenced yard is preferred, solely because she is deaf and this is merely for her safety. Bramble is looking for a home that will be able to communicate with hand gestures and will give her the direction she needs. Often times deaf dogs will bond very tight to their people or other family pets and they will utilize them as their ears. Don't let this detour you from looking at her, she really is a little gem!! Bramble came into rescue through transfer from another facility where she came in as a stray. Bramble is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, tested negative for heartworm, and is microchipped. Bramble is available adoption. Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted. They are then transferred to foster homes throughout MN and some into ND so they can get used to lifestyles with a family in a home. Adoption fee for an adult dog is $300 + Mn tax. Adoption fee for a dog over 3 years of age is $300 + Mn tax., pup/dog1 year to 3 years is $400 + Mn tax. Under 1 year of age $500 + Mn tax. Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog. Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually. Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible. Dogs can be met in Ada, MN weekday and weekends, or in our alternate office location in Maple Grove, MN on weekends only. Once we receive your submission, our application review team will be in touch with you. Please have patience while they look over your application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there! I'm Frodo and I'm on a mission to find my adoptive home. I may be a bit shy at first but once we get to know each other, I promise to be your loyal and loving companion. I've got a lot of love to give and I'm hoping to find someone who will give it back in spades. I'm young and energetic so I would love a home with plenty of people to play with and keep me active. I do get nervous around young kids though and I think I need a home with teenagers and adults only.  I'm already kennel trained, so you won't have to worry about any accidents while you're away. During the day, I love to be around my humans and I promise to be on my best behavior. At night, I sleep soundly in my kennel until you're ready to start the day again. I'm a quiet and sweet dog - I only bark when I need to. Check out my zoomies in this video. I'm always up for playing in the back yard or going for a walk and I'm learning new commands all the time. With a little patience and a lot of treats, I know I can become a pro. I'm pretty good on a leash but I do get nervous around other dogs. If you stick close to me, though, I promise to stay calm and collected. Overall, I'm a smart and eager pup who's ready to find my new home. Will you be the one to teach me new tricks and shower me with love? I'm hoping so!   Frodo is from a local impound.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hey, I'm Itama. I'm pretty new around here, but have so far proven myself to be a loving and laidback gal who gets along with everyone. My foster says I'm the sweetest and easiest foster she's had. I fit right in with the dogs, cat, and kiddos. I love everyone. However, I may jump up on people when excited. So I should be managed when around littles to make sure I don’t topple them over. I do like having a canine companion. I am on the timid side, so having a friend to follow helps me know where to go with more confidence. The animal control officers who found me called me a 'puddle puppy' due to my propensity to sploot in new situations. Living with other dogs is ensuring I come out of my shell and play more. Snuggling and getting pets is my main goal. I follow my foster from room to room just to make sure I don't miss out on an opportunity. In terms of obedience, I have not had a single accident since I arrived, am familiar with the cues sit, down, and wait, and I come when I hear a whistle. With more work and consistency, my foster knows I can learn soooo much more. Especially if treats are on offer. If you think I'd be a good fit for your family, please apply so we can meet. Itama is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Gemma – The Perfect Mix of Spunky & Sweet! Hi there! I’m Gemma, a middle-aged, goofy pup with just the right balance of energy and relaxation. Not to brag, but I’m pretty much the total package for anyone looking to add a loving new member to their family! Life in a warm home is my absolute favorite—snuggling with my people, playing with friends, lounging on comfy couches, and, of course, enjoying delicious treats. I’m fully potty-trained and crate-trained with no issues, and I always let my people know when I need to go outside. One special thing about me? I’m deaf! But don’t worry—I’m super attentive to my people and watch them closely to understand what’s going on. My favorite toy is a tennis ball, and I love chasing it, bringing it back, and sometimes playing a fun game of keep-away! I’m incredibly sweet and love everyone I meet. Cuddling is one of my favorite pastimes, and I’ll happily snuggle up with anyone who lets me get as close as possible. Right now, I live with a family that has young adult children and two senior dogs. While they aren’t always up for playing, I don’t mind—I keep myself entertained, play with my people, or just relax and watch the world go by. We do enjoy our walks together and live peacefully as a pack. When I meet dogs in public, I can get a little overstimulated (pulling, barking, whining), so I do best with slow introductions to new animals. My foster family was told that I’ve also lived with cats and kids in the past, and I was a very good girl with everyone. Now, I’m searching for my forever family—could that be you?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Thin Mint! Thin Mint is an adorable Australian Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog mix puppy with a fluffy, full coat and a playful spirit. She is a fun mix of spunky, independent, sassy and sweet! She’s friendly with people of all ages and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. She loves cats too but sometimes can be a little rough so dog savvy cats are needed. Thin Mint loves toys, cuddles, and making people smile with her goofy and affectionate nature. She is smart! She is crate trained and sleeps throughout the night. She is doing really well with potty training too! This sweet pup is social and loves attention—whether it’s from humans or a furry friend. Thin Mint is also a little chatterbox! She "talks" in her own special way (not barking or growling) to tell you all about her day, and it’s absolutely endearing. Playful and curious, she loves toys, playtime, and even a good nap in a cozy puppy pile with her siblings. While she’s a bit less confident than one of her siblings, she showed no shyness at her recent adoption event, proving she’s ready to make new friends and explore the world. Thin Mint would thrive in a loving home where she can get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. If you’re looking for a sweet, fluffy, and fun-loving companion, Thin Mint might just be your perfect match! Thin Mint is from Texas.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
