Story

Cotton’s time has been beautifully spent. He’s learned to safely navigate a world that he can’t fully see or hear. He’s earned the nickname ‘Fake blind dog’ for his incredible ability to overcome the challenges and obstacles that he was born with, lived through and now has conquered. He moves with the absolute swiftness of a skilled herding dog. He is every bit as confident and agile as his canine counterparts.Beyond his improved physical abilities, Cotton has continued to make strides in his dog to dog relationships. It’s difficult in the canine world for Aussies that can see and hear. Their intense nature, quick movements, desire to herd, and demand for order can often be misunderstood by other dogs. When the ability to quickly read another dog is diminished by lack of vision or hearing or both- it can easily result in reactivity. Cotton has used his time here to learn to read cues his way. He’s learned to trust and play. He’s mastered fun and that should always be a priority. He’s also learning who to avoid, how to exit gracefully and that the humans do have his back. Cotton has embraced the life he’s living. He has worked so hard to be good and do good. He has more than earned his place in this pack, this home, this organization, this community and this world.He still needs a home of his own. This place he lives is wonderful but it’s not his wonderful. It’s a resting spot. A wayside stop. A layover. Cotton needs people that wake up every day happy and excited that he is there. A home that grabs him an extra treat when they are out. A grandma that extra spoils him. A kid that cannot wait to get off that bus to play with him. A bed that is just his. A family.Cotton has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on his vaccinations. He has tested negative for heartworm disease.His adoption fee is $350.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you would like to meet this beautiful boy.

Story

Spice & spunk that is what Miss Nessie is made of! This fun and active girl is about 1.5 years old. She is a girl that loves and needs to work. Her work can look many different ways! Agility, obedience, herding, running companion, hiking buddy, fly ball ruler- her options and your opportunities are endless!Nessie is great in the house and a champion at crate time. She is incredibly smart and devoted to her people and any activity they take her along to! The opposite side of a fantastically active, fun dog - is that they rarely have an off switch and you are rarely afforded an off day! But they are worth it! Worth cold, wet walks. Worth late night summer runs. Worth the extra time and effort.Nessie has done a fantastic job while in rescue of figuring out how to socialize and tolerate other dogs. She’s learned how to appropriately initiate play! That getting told ‘no’ by other dogs is part of life. And that too much attitude and friends don’t want to be around you. She still has work to do in her dog to dog relationships but she has made HUGE strides. She gets that the people are here to help and maintain order- we don’t need her assistance ?? It a beautiful place when they recognize this piece! She looks to her people if she has a concern- no longer wants to handle it on her own.Nessie needs a home that knows and understands herding/working dogs. She is so much more than an adorable girl with a beautiful coat. She is smart, willing and driven. She deserves a home that recognizes her awesomeness and encourages her.Nessie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. She has also tested negative for heartworm disease.Her adoption fee is $450.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you would like to meet this awesome girl!

Boba

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult

Burnsville, MN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Boba was acquired at a young age from a friend of a friend. He is currently 3 years old. My wife and I are looking to re-home Boba for a number of reasons. 1. Resource Guarding. Aussies are known to be resource guarders. Unfortunately this has led to some unfortunate behaviors. When my Wife and I started dating I was bitten a few times due to this. In addition, he has pounced (but not bitten) a niece. He almost bit my puppy when we were visiting one weekend. These behaviors are not taken lightly. When my wife is not home he is what I consider a normal dog. He does not resource guard anyone or anything. Due to this it is important that his adopter knows how to counteract this behavior and is willing to put in the time. 2. Exercise. Aussies are working dogs. With kids on the horizon we will have less time to focus on him and his needs. Please reach out if you have questions. I ran out of space.

Story

🐾 Hi there, I’m George! 🐾I’m a 4-year-old, 58-pound adventurer with a big heart! I’m still working on putting on a few healthy pounds, but I promise I’ve got plenty of love and enthusiasm to share while I get there.I love exploring, playing, and going on adventures — I’m always up for a hike, a walk, or a romp with another fun-loving dog who can be my friend through it all. I’ve also just discovered how awesome toys are! I’m learning to play and really starting to enjoy them — they make me so happy.I’m housetrained so you can check that off your list! As for the kennel, I’ll admit… I’m still learning to like my kennel (it’s a work in progress), but I respond well to training when someone’s patient and consistent with me. What I really need is a family who will help me stay healthy, commit to my training, and give me all the love and structure I deserve.If you’re looking for a loyal, outgoing adventure buddy who’s full of spirit and ready to grow (literally and figuratively!), then I can’t wait to meet you. Let’s make some memories together!--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.Adoption Fee - $400To apply for this pup, please submit an Adoption Application at http://warriordogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/

Story

Name: Scout Age: Puppy (DOB: 7/1/25) Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd/ Springer Spaniel Mix Weight: 34 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes, dog-savvy cats please Child friendly: Yes House trained: In progress; puppy about 75% there Crate trained: Almost; does great when isolated as well Energy level: Puppy Temperament: Playful, friendly, loving, energetic, loyal Home requirements: Not apartment-appropriate; could be suitable for a duplex or condo Adoption fee: $525 + tax To adopt, go to: www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family: Scout is like a little bear cub. He loves to play just as much as he loves cuddling up for a nap. He has the softest hair around his ears and the biggest puppy paws. Scout follows his foster mom around the house no matter what she’s doing. He enjoys playing with his foster sister but can also entertain himself with toys and chew bones. He will bark at unfamiliar sounds or when someone is at the door, but he is easily redirected. Scout uses the doggy door about 75% of the time, and full potty training is still in progress. During the day, he is sectioned off in the kitchen and sleeps in his doggy bed at night. He loves being held and getting attention and is an incredibly sweet and loyal boy. About Me: Hi, I’m Scout, or as my foster mom calls me, Scoot, because I love to scoot right up to you and cuddle for hours. I’m a well-behaved boy who loves to play, cuddle, and stay right by your side. I get along great with my foster sister, a 7-year-old retriever, and I make friends easily with other dogs. I love meeting new people, but my favorite thing to do is cuddle on the couch or bed and take a nap. I may bark at unfamiliar sounds, but I’m easily redirected. I enjoy exploring new things and places, and I even like car rides and baths. If you’re looking for your new best buddy, I’m looking for my fur-ever home. January 6, 2026, 7:07 pm
