My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Patches is a 10-year-old pincher mix looking for a loving forever home. He's been with the same family since he was a puppy, but after the recent loss of his mother, he's in need of a new companion.
Initially, Patches may be a bit anxious around new people, but he quickly warms up with love, praise, and a consistent routine. Once he feels comfortable, he becomes a devoted and affectionate companion. He enjoys ear scratches, walks, naps, car rides, park visits, and exploring the yard.
Patches is well-adjusted to both apartment and house living. He's leash-trained, kennel-okay, potty-trained, and food-motivated. Regular walks are essential to keep him happy and reduce stress. While he's generally a gentle soul, he may bark protectively.
Due to his age, Patches may require a little extra help getting up on taller vehicles or furniture. He might also experience occasional arthritis discomfort.
If you're looking for a loyal and loving senior dog who will bring joy to your life, Patches could be the perfect companion for you.
Please note: Patches is not suitable for homes with cats.
For more information or to inquire about adopting Patches, please contact Northern Lakes Rescue at info@northernlakesrescue.org.
His adoption fee is 300$ plus MN tax. This covers his vetting and supplies needed while in rescue.

Additional adoption info

Northern Lakes Rescue wants to make adopting your next pet the best experience you have in adopting a pet. When you see a animal you are interested, in we encourage you to email us at info@northernlakesrescue.org with what dog you are interested in.

NLR is 100% volunteer run, and we do our best to respond within 48 hours to all email inquiries regarding adoptions.

All adoptions will require an application, home visit, personal and vet references and a meet and greet. Our adoption fees range from $300-425 depending on the dog.
All dogs over 6 months of age will be spay/neutered, vaccinated to age and micro-chipped. Puppies being adopted will require a spay/neuter and vaccine contract.

Finalizing an adoption includes signing a contract and paying the adoption fee.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Northern Lakes Rescue is foster based so all dogs are being fostered by amazing volunteers across the state of MN. Because of this, we require all meet and greets to be scheduled after an application is submitted.

Our focus after you apply is to get you scheduled to meet the dog within 3 to 7 days.

More about this rescue

Our Vision is to be a voice for those who are voiceless. We hear them with our hearts and give them a voice. Looking into the eyes of a rescued animal will speak volumes; watching those eyes light up will have an everlasting impact on you and the rescued animals.

We aren’t a typical rescue as we don’t take in dogs and put them in kennels until they’re adopted. All dogs we rescue are placed in loving foster homes that teach them to be the best dog they can be.

Our journey doesn’t end with adoption, either. We are here for you to support you in integrating your new member into your home, cheer new triumphs, and help with struggles.
