Story
Hello! I'm Niko. I'm around 1 year old and have a lot of energy and love to give! My foster mom thinks I'm a cattle dog mix. I'm potty trained and kennel trained. I know sit and "shake" and am very food motivated to learn more! I have resource guarding issues with food (my foster mom is working on that). I would be best suited in a home without small children because of my guarding issue or is willing to continue working with me! I will be fully vetted prior to adoption.

Story
Meet Brooks (Brindle, 8 years old) & Dunn (White, 6 years old)🐾🐾 These two sweet old gentlemen have been with us for almost four months now, and they’ve completely stolen our hearts. Brooks (the brown one) and Dunn (the white one) came to us from down south, and while we don’t know much about their past, it’s very clear they are wonderful, gentle souls. They are very bonded and truly do best as a pair... Where one goes; the other isn’t far behind. Both boys are neutered and up to date on core vaccines. They are fantastic with children, get along great with other dogs, and are even pretty respectful of cats. They’re the kind of dogs that just fit in. Despite their age, they’ve adapted beautifully to changes and new routines. They’re happy to lounge, explore the yard, and enjoy the simple things in life. They stick close while off-leash, have hearty appetites, and yes... they’re delightfully chunky 😄. Brooks is the goofier of the two and is OBSESSED with Kongs and chew toys. Dunn is a bit more reserved and thoughtful, but just as loving in his own quiet way. If we didn’t already have a full house of dogs, we would keep these two in a heartbeat. Their need for a new home is absolutely no fault of their own — we simply don’t have the space to add two large dogs long-term. Brooks & Dunn are truly special, and they deserve a calm, loving home where they can spend their golden years together. They’re perfect just as they are. 💙 These pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered & up to date on vaccinations. The adoption fee is $500 for the bonded pair.

Story
Darling is a smaller cattle dog/Shepherd mix born in January 2021. She came in as a stray with another dog. Darling gets along ok with dogs smaller than her, but not so well with bigger dogs. Darling is very smart and aware of everything going on around her. She loves people and loves attention. Darling was adopted earlier this year, but her new mom had to move to assisted living and Darling couldn't go along. She walks well on a leash and rides well in a car. Darling is eager to find a new family and start a new life - would you like to be her new best friend? All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.

Name: Pacco Age: 4 years Gender: Male Breed: Australian Kelpie mix Weight: 35 lbs Dog Friendly: Yes Cat Friendly: No cats, please Child Friendly: Yes — older children, please House Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Energy Level: Moderate Temperament: Loving, affectionate, cuddly, goofy, intelligent Requirements: Not rental appropriate  Adoption Fee: $375 + tax To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html Meet Pacco — Part-Time Lap Dog, Full-Time Goofball Pacco is a handsome, smart boy who firmly believes that laps are public seating and squeaky toys are a lifestyle. If you sit down, he may assume cuddles are happening (he’s learning to wait for the cue “up”… but enthusiasm is hard to contain). He’s friendly with people, great on outings, good with other dogs, rides nicely in the car, and sleeps like a champ in his kennel. He loves affection, gives sweet nuzzles, and takes his naps very seriously. Pacco is a foodie and eats his meals with enthusiasm. He’s currently working on house manners, like resisting the urge to sneak a snack off the counter. He’s also improving his leash skills and learning to walk more calmly with less pulling — he’s smart, eager to learn, and getting better every day. Pacco is an alert dog and will let you know when someone arrives, but he redirects easily. He does have a high prey drive, so a home without small animals or cats is best. Affectionate, playful, and absolutely unforgettable, Pacco is looking for a dog-savvy family or person ready to laugh, train, and fall completely in love.     February 1, 2026, 12:57 pm
