Story
From Duke: Why have I been in rescue so long? I love people, play well with most other dogs, really enjoy going for walks, get very excited when you walk in the door, really enjoy cuddling with you, but then I’ll move away when you say enough is enough. So why do I get overlooked all the time? It must be because I am 6 years old and diabetic. But you just wait until you hear about my life!!Duke is the best dog ever! I think people are scared of his diabetes and the expense, but the love and joy that he provides back is worth every penny! His foster mom has taken him to work, he LOVES when people come visit, he will run over to them, sit to get petted and then sits back on his butt and leans right into you to get all the attention that you can possibly give.Diabetes and Duke: When it is time to eat I get excited and can’t wait to get my food because I know we are going to sit down on the floor, I will get some loving pets and you will test my blood sugars, then I get to eat!!! I am really cute when I eat, I lay down with the bowl between my paws and eat from a slow feeder bowl. After that I will sit or lay very nicely while you give me my shot. My foster mom spoils me again by giving me what I think is a treat but is actually a joint supplement since I am not a young pup anymore. I don’t need them yet but she is making sure that I stay young. I don’t make a big deal about being diabetic, its just part of my life now. True I don’t get to have all those fun treats the other dogs get but my foster mom bought me my own special treats! I also like to have fresh peppers, green beans, and even chicken, tuna and salmon!! Mom says for healthy treats for diabetic dogs, focus on low-carbohydrate, high-fiber options like carrots-not too many, green beans-yummy, and lean protein sources like chicken, beef, and fish. Also consider sweet potatoes, which have a low glycemic index. Avoid treats with added sugars or high carbohydrate ingredients like wheat, corn, or rice. My foster mom has done alot of research on dog diabetes, joined a facebook group and learned alot. She has even put together a bunch of information I will bring with me. She bought me a dog tag that says I am diabetic, she has bought me special treats that the other dogs don’t get to have and does alot of other things to spoil me. I do not need a crate, I would like a doggy door and a fenced yard as I do need to go potty more often than the other dogs in my home. From the foster mom and shelter. Duke did well on the vetsulin medication but we have switched to Novolin N from Walmart. This insulin is working very well for Duke and is less expensive than any others we checked on, only $25/vial.____Please Note: We ask that an application be filled out before coming to the shelter. If pre approved, a meeting with the animal will be set up. To fill out an application, go to http://watonwan.weebly.com/adoption-application.html, All animals are current on vaccinations, sterilized and given flea/tick preventative. Cash or check only. For more information, our website is www.watonwan.weebly.com or call the shelter at 507-942-7387. For more information on cats, please email: petcompany@hotmail.com. Please note-not all dogs are at the shelter. Please call ahead

Story
Edward is a mini Aussie breeder release born July 2019. Edward is a bit shy and would like another dog to help him with the transition into life in the real world. He is a sweet happy boy, but has never walked on a leash - although he is trying to learn. He would like a home with a fenced yard so he doesn't need to work on leash training at the same time as potty training in a new home. Edward should go to a home that has experience with Aussies so his needs for order and organization will be appreciated. He hopes he can find someone patient and kind to help him learn how to be a happy dog living the good life. 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.

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.

Lickity Split is full of love and personality. She enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring, and playing with a variety of toys. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is gentle around children, making her a true family-friendly companion.

She is making excellent progress with house training and is already crate trained, showing she can be trusted when left alone for short periods. One of her favorite things is cuddling with her humans; she loves attention and thrives on affection. She’s also quite playful and has a silly side—she even won a costume contest!

She is looking for a family that can give her moderate exercise, plenty of love, and mental stimulation to keep her happy and healthy.  December 1, 2025, 5:12 pm
