Story
Daisy is a very beautiful dog who may have when we adopted her been abused possibly by a male for she is afraid of males at first until she gets to know them she's very good with kids we do have a cat who she does not hurt but would like to be friends with but the cat wants nothing to do with her Daisy is very playful really enjoys the winter weathers and the snow my family and I have just become very busy with extracurricular activities and work and school that we feel Daisy would be better off in a better home with more attention less time in her kennel and to be more active she is a very active dog she would benefit from a home with a yard that she can run around in with all her pent-up energy she does dig in her backyard are very little backyard and becomes very anxious for the lack of exercise and play time she does not receive I just personally feel should be better off with a new family who can give her the attention she needs so she can have a happy life

Story
Halo has been a beloved family dog since the day we brought her home. She is attached to me at the hip and is my most loyal companion. She’s always shown those typical Australian shepherd tendencies of being reactive to specific things. Once you get to know what makes her uncomfortable she is easily managed. We recently had a baby and I was worried to say the least. But she did AMAZING with our newborn I was so beyond thankful. But now my baby is 10 months old… she’s getting Mobil, she’s getting grabby, and Halo is becoming uncomfortable being around her and I don’t trust her as she has nipped other dogs before and ONLY at people when they put there face into her face… she does NOT like that and will nip. This is not a chance I’m willing to take when it comes to my baby. I’m heartbroken to say the least. I want nothing but the absolute best for Halo to have a long and happy life even if I’m not the one that can provide that for her as I had planned…

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
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.

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 energy 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 keep up with me. 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!--------------------------------------------"I'll be home for Christmas!"

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.
