Story
Snapshot of Buck: Size? Currently 15lbs (I'm expected to be a medium sized dog when I'm full grown) Activity Level? I am a typical puppy Noise Level? I sometimes bark when I play! Good with Dogs? Yes! Good with Cats? Yes! Good with Kids? Yes! Good with Strangers? I love everyone! Potty Trained? I am working on it. Crate Trained? I love to sleep in my crate at night. About Buck: Hi there! I'm Buck, your future best friend waiting to find my forever home. Like any typical puppy, I'm full of energy and curiosity, always ready to play and explore everything around me. I get along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and I absolutely adore kids. I'm the perfect companion for a fun-loving family or anyone who enjoys the happy chaos that comes with a puppy like me. I'm currently hard at work learning some important skills-potty training is on top of my list, and I'm getting better at it every day. Walking on a leash is also a new adventure for me, and I'm really starting to enjoy our little strolls together. I'm enthusiastic about learning new things and eager to please, so I'm sure I'll master these skills with just a bit more practice. Bringing me into your home means you'll have a loyal, affectionate, and playful family member who's ready to bring joy and lots of tail wags into your life. If you're looking for a loving and lively companion, look no further-I'm here, just waiting to start our wonderful life together. Let's make countless happy memories and share endless cuddles! Buck is fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations for his age.

Story
Meet Marti! Marti is a 5 year old, neutered, double merle, male, who came to us almost completely feral. He is a slightly pudgy 40 pounds, crate trained, house broke (but still leaks a little urine when sleeping although we haven't tried medication for that yet as it has been improving). As he is double merle he has some vision issues as well. Marti will need a very special owner that is willing to give him plenty of time to learn to trust. At his foster home Marti gets along with other dogs, is great with cats, and walks off leash in a rural setting. Marti is that lower energy aussie everyone's looking for and would like a quiet home. Marti will need more training in cooperative Care which his foster is working on and is easy to implement. The details: Needs Fence: Depends on setting (needs to gain trust to be leashed, fence necessary in busier area) Good With Dogs: Yes Good With People: Needs patience Good with cats: Yes All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in. You can find our application at www.aussierescuemn.com. All dogs have an adoption fee of $300 plus MN sales tax. We pride ourselves on matches that are awesome for both the dog and your family. Aussie Rescue of MN is here for support, advice and as a safety net for our dogs for the rest of their lives.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $ 400 plus taxBrock continues to grow into a strapping young dog each day. Brock takes a bit of time warming up to new faces either human or K9. Once he warms he is great!He is very treat motivated and smart; sit, kennel and stay are all coming along nicely and he is fully potty trained. Brock is a very playful dog who likes to play fetch with a tennis ball or frisbee and play tug-a-war with either a human or dog companion. He gets along well with his other household dog pals. At times he has too much energy for the 9 year old dog, but is getting better at recognizing social cues of when it is okay to play and when it is not. Brock snuggles and sleeps as well as he plays. He likes to get his belly rubbed and nap in the blankets. Brock sleeps in a kennel overnight but would also do well in a bed.  He is growing up in rescue, Who can be this boy's happy ever after??Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  or    *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person!  If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called 'cute' as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.  *Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.  Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.   //

Story
Hello! My name is Rosalee but my foster mom calls me Rosa and Rosie. I’m a beautiful 6 year old Mini Aussie that has had a very rough life until I was taken in by NDLB. I’m still learning how to be a dog and I’m very scared but I’m trying my best. I am starting to really enjoy walks and get so excited beforehand that my little butt just keeps wiggling! I spend most of my day on the middle stairway where I can watch my foster mom and still have a quick getaway up to our room when things get scary. At night, I sleep with my foster mom in bed. I am getting used to something she calls cuddle time. The affection is a bit weird but I like it. I live with a resident dog who is teaching me how to be a dog. I rarely bark but when I do I startle myself a little bit. I didn’t know I could make those sounds! Slowly but surely I am learning that humans can be kind and I am loved. All I ask for is a safe and happy home. Could that be with you? Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $850.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 22, 2024, 7:53 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Riata! I’m a 5 year old mini Aussie breeder release. Because I’m a breeder release, I am very nervous around new people & places. Right now I still don’t play with other dogs, but I do take comfort in their presence. I stay quietly in my crate when my people aren’t home. In fact, I stay quiet almost all of the time! I am working telling you when I need to potty, and will need patience from my new family. I like my privacy when I’m going to the bathroom, so a fenced yard or tie out would make that easier for me. Keeping me on a schedule and using a crate or pen also helps. Kids are very loud and I’m not sure I enjoy their company quite yet. Loud noises send me running to a hiding spot. If you think you have a safe, quiet home that I could learn to be comfortable in- I’d like to meet you!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
