My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Tessi! I love attention and getting pets. I do well with dogs; however, my foster thinks I would also do well as an only dog too. I don't always like to share my humans.
I have a preference for dogs my size, but I tolerate the 60 lb dog in my foster home. I do well with the teenagers who visit me as long as they take things slow and give me time to get to know them. My foster thinks I was crated a lot in my prior life, maybe a puppy mill. In the house, I like to be in my crate. When my humans are outside, I like to be outside with them. I can spend all day outside with them.
I need a fenced yard to keep me safe as I can be scared of loud sounds and new things/people. I may accidentally pee a little when I get to a new home until I learn the routine and feel comfortable around the people. I don't like to go outside in the dark. My new owner should have patience and be committed to socializing me.
I went to the groomer recently and she liked me. She said it just takes me awhile to warm up. However, my groomer had no other dogs in the salon. I like to go for walks, but get scared when I see new things/people. This continues to diminish as I get exposed to more things.
I hope you will give me a chance, because I am a great dog!

Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted. They are then transferred to foster homes throughout MN and some into ND so they can get used to lifestyles with a family in a home. Adoption fee for an adult dog is $300 + Mn tax. Adoption fee for a pup under a year is $400 + Mn tax.
Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.northwestminnesotaaussierescue.org/resources and clicking on the adoption application tab. Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually. Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible.
Once we receive your submission, our application review team will be in touch with you. Please have patience while they look over your application.

More about this rescue
NWMNAR is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit rescue on a 6 acre ranchette located approximately 10 miles east of Ada, nestled in on low traffic gravel roads where the owners of NWMNAR reside. The story of NWMNAR began in 2008 where it all started with just one dog-Australian Shepherd of course, named Smokey whom joined the family back in 2002 when he needed to find a new home or otherwise be euthanized prior to finding us. He was an exceptional Aussie and devoted to us. Upon his passing in 2008 his owners realized more dogs like him in shelters and other situations needed a chance to find the right furever home, thus NWMNAR began and made it their mission statement to find loving furever homes for Aussies in need, thus saving many from euthanization. NWMNAR prides itself in lining up the right personalities of dogs to the right living situations. Puppies of course are easier to line up since their personalities form in amongst a family. However, the adult dogs are evaluated for the right match in a family. Often times an adopter may want to adopt an Aussie of one color verses the other, but that may not mean that specific dog is a good match for the living situation. We take careful steps to encourage the right home by reviewing applications. Not only do we help find loving homes for dogs in need, we offer constructive advice to families thinking about surrendering their dogs and give them tips on how to make their homes a successful Aussie home.
