Story
🎉 Meet Casper — the shy guy with the heart of gold (and the soul of a professional belly-rub enthusiast)! 🎉 Casper is a one-year-old Cattle Dog mix who’s trading in his “crowded roommate lifestyle” (he used to live with 15 other dogs!) for a cozier setup with a human or two who appreciate his charm and cuddles. He was politely “evicted” from his old digs, but honestly — we think it’s the best thing that could’ve happened to him. New chapter, new leash on life! 🐾 Casper is currently working on perfecting his leash skills. Translation: he’s figuring out that leashes aren’t snakes and walks are actually kinda fun. He’s even started going potty on leash — what a star student! 🌟 Once he decides you’re one of the good ones, he’ll roll over and demand belly rubs like a total pro. This sweet boy can get a little overwhelmed by dogs who are too ‘in your face,’ so he appreciates calm canine friends and people who understand gentle encouragement. Slow, positive introductions help him feel safe and confident. In his foster home, he’s done great with one or two relaxed dogs who respect his space. If you love a shy-but-silly pup who just needs a little time to come out of his shell (and into your lap), Casper might just be your guy. Once he trusts you, he’ll give you his whole heart — and maybe even let you pick the Netflix show. 💫 👉 Apply to adopt Casper at: www.campcompanion.org 💰 Adoption fee: $350 plus tax

Story
Hi, I’m Olive! 🫒 What do you need to know about me? Well to start off, in super public places I get pretty scared. The first part of my life was a little rocky, and I didn't get to socialize as much, so public spaces overwhelm me. BUT in my foster house I’m a playful, loving girl whose foster parents say is SMART! I love learning new tricks- I know how to sit, shake, touch, jump, and play with my ball launcher. My foster mom and I have a lot of fun learning new tricks together! Our latest adventure is agility work. In the house, I’m ALL about the fun. I love playing fetch (seriously, I could do it for hours), playing with my toys, and when the weather is nice, HIKING! I love to hit those trails! I also get along great with my furry foster siblings and would love a friend to play with! I’m a gem. I’m sweet, affectionate, and happiest when I’m following my people around or getting some good butt scratches. I do well in my kennel too! I can be nervous in new situations or around new people, so be ready to be a little extra patient right away whenever I encounter a change in life! If you’re looking for a loyal and active companion, I might be your girl. 💕 Apply to meet me at campcompanion.org. Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.

Story
Meet Frannie 🐾 Frannie is a young cattle dog mix with a big heart and classic puppy energy. She’s affectionate, playful, and loves being around people and other dogs. Frannie does best with plenty of physical exercise, mental enrichment, and lots of durable chew toys to keep her busy and happy. She’s still working on her basic manners and will need continued training, especially with leash skills. Frannie can be a little anxious and may take some time to settle into a new home, so a patient adopter who understands the importance of decompression time will help her thrive. Because she can be vocal, a home without shared walls is ideal. Frannie plays well with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion, though it’s not required. She’s been exposed to cats and does well with children ages 4 and up. Her new home will need a 48” crate and an understanding of herding breeds and their unique needs. Adoption fee $350. Apply to adopt at campcompanion.org.

Story
Meet Bandit 🐾 — a 6-month-old cattle dog mix with a heart as big as his adorable ears. Bandit is a sweet, playful pup who truly shines when he’s around others. He loves the companionship of other dogs and is dog, kid, and cat friendly, making him a great fit for many types of homes. He’s already house trained and crate trained, so he’s off to a great start with his manners. This little guy has a nurturing, gentle side and absolutely loves being close to his people. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of the family. Bandit did experience a couple of seizures early on, which were evaluated by a veterinarian. He is now doing very well on medication, and his seizures are well controlled. His medication will need to be continued long term, but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit—he’s still the happy, loving, playful puppy he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a sweet soul and a lot of love to give, Bandit may be your perfect match. 💙 Apply for Bandit at www.tailsofhopewi.org!

Story
***Blakely is BONDED to Drako and they need to be adopted together!***Meet Blakely and Drako!This mixed/matched pair found themselves in a Texas impound after their owner died and there were too many animals in the home for family to take in. They spent some time in this rescue where they learned how bonded these two were. When separated, they become incredibly stressed, depressed, and shut down. However, once they are reunited with each other, they become happy, confident and loving!They were having trouble finding a rescue that was able to take them both so they then made the long journey to Minnesota to come to our facility! Blakely is the younger one at roughly about 1 year old where her buddy Drako is about 2 or 3. Blakely was estimated to be some sort Kelpie mix, but it is really hard to say for sure. Drako is estimated to be some sort of Maltese or yorkie mix. This adorable pair is on the hunt to find their perfect forever home where they can spend their days playing, cuddling up together, and romping through a yard. If you have room in your house and heart for these two, apply online today!Adoption fee for the pair is $400 + $30 microchip fee (each) + tax

Story
Bear is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd who is incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of energy. He is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in everything you do and will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give. When his needs are met, he is a super cuddly companion who truly enjoys being close to his people. As an Australian Shepherd, Bear needs an active lifestyle and plenty of mental and physical outlets. He would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and burn off energy, along with daily walks and ongoing engagement. An experienced, very active home that understands working breeds would be the best fit for him. Bear must go to a home with no kids. He does live with another dog. He does very well at daycare and boarding. On leash, he can be reactive and will bark at other dogs, as well as at the TV and out the window, so continued structure and guidance will help him succeed. Bear is looking for a committed home that can give him the exercise, enrichment, and affection he deserves. In return, he will give endless loyalty, cuddles, and companionship. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
I have a 5 year old (as of Nov 2025) Australian Shepherd female dog. She was given to me for Christmas as a puppy when she was 10 weeks old (they bought her from a farm in Iowa for $600) but I have a difficult time finding care for her each month that I have drill for the National Guard and it has unfortunately been quite a burden on my life. I believe she’s ok with other animals as she has been at my sisters who has a dog and cat. Her dog and my dog get along well. She has had pet health insurance so she is all up to date on all vaccines and she is healthy and great weight. She would do great in a active setting. She knows basic commands such as sit, lay down, stay, shake. Please reach out if you are interested. I will be cautious in selection to make sure she well cared for. Her kennel, toys, treats, extra food will all be included! I also had her DNA; she’s 90% Australian shepherded and 10% miniature Aussie. Location: Rochester, MN $100– willing to negotiate:) Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
