Story

Location: Hutchinson, MN Are you looking for your next adventure pal? Or want to train a dog for speed events? Look no further! Baylee is a great candidate! Baylee has the speed, trainability and drive to excel in dog sports like flyball or agility. Baylee would also just love to be someone's special companion. Baylee is a medium herding dog who is about a year old. She's up to date on her vetting. Baylee is a high energy, active and goofy little lady. She plays well with big or small dogs. Her zoomies are lightning fast! After she gets exercise or playtime in, she's a great snuggler and is very affectionate. Baylee enjoys being brushed and loved on. Baylee prefers to be kenneled at night and during long naps. Baylee is learning how to live in a house with cats and house training. Baylee has not been exposed to children while with her foster but with proper introduction and child/dog expectations and training, Baylee will be a great family dog. ----- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org). Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (Distemper, Rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration). Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are a best guess.

Story

If you are looking for a dog who will be your most loyal companion with striking good looks and the best puppy eyes ever ....you’ve found her!  Meet Jessica – your typical Australian Shepherd who has a zest for life! However, Jessica is not your average family dog.  Due to her high level of intelligence and energy she needs adequate physical and mental stimulation.  Although Aussie’s enjoy being outside, hours alone in the yard isn’t going to cut it for this girl.  This breed is always looking for a “job” to do:  puzzle games, dock diving, Frisbee, agility training, or fly ball are a few activities Jessica would excel in.  She would be a great biking or jogging partner for an athletic individual.  Even an active game of fetch or a great running session with another canine companion would give her the opportunity to get those zoomies out. Any variety of these activities on a daily basis is going to keep Jessica a happy pup!  Jessica comes to you house and crate trained, walks well on a leash, is well-behaved during car rides, is not vocally reactive (although she may let out the occasional “awooo!” as she’s heading out the door for her morning potty break).   She is also command trained:  she knows "sit", "down", “off”, “all done” and more! With all this talk about Jessica’s energy, she does have a quiet side to her.  She is a sensitive girl and will look to you for reassurance, if she’s feeling apprehensive.  She knows her bedtime and will cue you around 7:30 PM that she’s tired and ready….are you?  But no blankets at bedtime for Miss Jessica as she’s proven she can’t resist chewing on her binkies.  Oops! Due to Jessica’s high energy needs, below is a wish list for her forever home: Must have experience with high-energy breeds or at a minimum have a deep understanding of dog behavior.  This goes beyond being a previous dog owner. Must have the ability to be the alpha in the dog/owner relationship.  Herding and high-energy dogs need someone who can offer appropriate redirection when necessary. It is important that her forever home understand her needs for daily mental enrichment and physical activity.  Jessica needs to be in an active household – camping, hiking, agility training, going to kids sports games, family outings, Treibball, puzzle games.  Jessica tends to show her affection by making a beeline for ears and giving love nibbles (this is a work in progress - apparently her foster’s ears are very delicious), so at this time we would recommend a household with children over 11 years old.  Cats are unknown, but she seems to have a low prey drive.         ##1954343##

Story

Hello to my future family! My name is Homelander, part of “The Boys” Litter at the Rescue Crew. My momma (Queen Maeve/Edee) had us while s stray…outside in the cold up north. But, after a few days, we were transported to the Twin Cities had had a great setup for the start of our lives. I have five other siblings, all posted here (but you should totally choose me!). In the pictures, you can see my breed makeup as someone kindly donated a kit to our foster mom. I am the best mutty-mutt-mix! Foster mom calls HomeSkillet or Homey, and named me Homelander because I was the BEST latcher when we were still nursing. I am a confident, independent, and calm (for a puppy).  My foster home has so many dogs, and it is a great socialization experience for me. I love the resident dogs (9-yo female Lab, 5-yo male Pittie, 11-month female Great Pyrenees). My mom was also here for a while, and also a bunch of puppies from another litter (one left, Scylia). We all get along really well…one big happy doghouse family. I recently moved to another foster along with my sister Starlight. We make a good pair because we get along the best and love to snuggle each other.   As a puppy, I am still getting used to lots of things. We are working on kennel training, and I eat my meals and treats in my kennel…and because of that, I realize my kennel is a super awesome place. I’m always excited for food and foster mom says I am a great eater (not picky at all)! I also LOVE treats. My favorites are cold baby carrots, frozen chunks of watermelon, and sweet potato chips! Potty training is going super well! I have learned to ring the bell to potty outside, but sometimes I just ring it to go outside…I don’t get treats when I do that. While I had some accidents inside, I am getting much better at going outside, otherwise I just blame it on the other puppies! I love toys, especially the squeaky or crinkly ones. But my ultimate favorite is napping on the “doggy couch” and stretching out! Foster mom say I would be great at being a lazy dog who sometimes likes to go on long hikes. We have started some training, and we are working on impulse control also. I am really good at being patient for food or treats by sitting nicely. Foster mom says I am super smart and will do anything for a treat (=easy to train!). I have learned to not bite/nip at the humans, and that I only get pets and love when I have “four on the floors” (not jumping!). Foster mom also says I have the recall of a champ because I know when I “come” I get treats!  But mostly, I am just being a puppy and having a good time. I also have not destroyed anything, and for that, foster mom is super proud! Are you the family for me? Maybe you have a big dog who needs a dog? Or maybe you just want the ultimate cuddler (my whole litter are master cuddlers!). I have the cutest, chunkiest face…and who wouldn’t love that! I would do great with any family, with or without kids, with or without other dogs. I am totally ok being the only dog…because I love the attention and the calmness!!!

In the pictures, you can see my breed makeup as someone kindly donated a kit to our foster mom. I am the best mutty-mutt-mix! I think I am foster moms favorite because she is always taking pictures of me, and I get to give her kisses more than anyone…she keeps saying because I am so fluffy! My foster home has so many dogs, and it is a great socialization experience for me. I love the resident dogs (9-yo female Lab, 5-yo male Pittie, 11-month female Great Pyrenees). My mom was also here for a while, and also a bunch of puppies from another litter (one left, Scylia). We all get along really well…one big happy doghouse family. I am more of a loner, and usually nap away from the others because I like my space to stretch out and enjoy the calm. I am super friendly, and almost always have a big tongue out smile, but some of us are a little more introverted.  As a puppy, I am still getting used to lots of things.

My ultimate favorite thing though is to be outside…in the sun, rain, snow…doesn’t matter…I LOVE to be outside.

Story

A portion of Moana's s adoption fee has been sponsored by her friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $400.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi! My name is Moana and I am an owner surrender. This special needs beautiful little girl has made wonderful strides in the 2 months that I've had her. She's getting stronger bit by bit. She is personality plus! She loves to snuggle, loves to play and just gets sooo very excited when you talk to her, get down on the floor to play with her and if the big resident dogs are even just near her. She has a feisty side, too, and does not like to be left out of anything!! She is making great progress in potty training and she'll usually vocally alert you-day or night- when she has to go...but know that she'll still have some accidents. At this point, she doesn't have the coordination to be upright to eat on her own so I still hold her securely in my lap to feed her several small meals a day and also to keep her hydrated (I soak her kibble and still give her some soft food. She will not drink straight water so we are still working on that and by soaking her kibble, it flavors the water and she'll drink it to get to the kibble.) She loves all people and dogs. She hasn't had contact with cats yet that I know of. She'll need flat, safe surfaces when she's in her wheels. She does best on carpets or rugs or grass when upright in her harness to practice balance, strength and walking. She'll need to continue strengthening her muscles and working on her balance. At this point, she cannot get up from the floor on her own. Once she's on her side, she can only move around by scratching/shuffling. She does great for car rides. She sleeps nicely in her soft sided kennel at night, only alerting me by whimpering once or twice per night that she has to go out to potty. She is one of the happiest pups that I've ever fostered and will give her forever family sooooo much love!! From the vet team: Hello! I arrived at Secondhand Hounds as part of the Fighter Fund program due to my Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) diagnosis. CH is a condition resulting from inadequate development of the cerebellum which causes lack of balance/coordination, ambulating, head bobbing, tremors, etc. The SHH Vet Team has provided my foster with physical therapy exercises to help gain strength but I will always have this condition. I have a wheel chair and a harness to help with movement but it is also recommended that my future adopter lay down rubber mats to help with my movement. My future adopter should understand my condition and monitor my health with a primary veterinarian. Also, I have an upcoming surgery with an opthamologist due to ablation of eyelashes which will freeze and kill the hair follicles to help prevent regrowth of these abnormal hairs. This surgery and eye recheck appointment will be covered by SHH as long as it is performed at Animal Eye Speciality Center/Secondhand Hounds Vet Center.
