Meet the lovely Little Miss Eloise! She is a super sweet, social, curious, smart pup who is already demonstrating what a great addition she’ll make to someone’s human and/or furry family. She’s almost 100% potty-trained and settles down in her crate with minimal fussing. She has been gentle with kids, both big and little, and friendly and playful with dogs her size up to 100+ pounds. She’s your typical pup energy-wise - playful, bounding around, and exploring for a few hours and then curling up (preferably next to or on top of a warm body) and falling asleep. She definitely likes having a buddy but will tolerate being alone in her crate for appropriate periods of time.
Walking on the leash has been fairly easy so far, with her usually choosing the heel position and learning it’s okay to explore the grass from time to time. Speaking of heeling, that’s where you’ll often find her when moving around unless she’s exploring her surroundings with another dog. She will also often default to a sitting position when whatever she’s watching or following stops moving and is pretty good at sitting on command. She’s a quick learner, confidently racing down a flight of stairs on her second try, figuring out how to climb up to join the resident dog in the bay window with minimal guidance, curling up in her designated dog bed/spot in the kitchen so she can be safely nearby while her foster person prepares food without being told, and easily fetching a ball back on the first gentle toss. She’s fairly quiet, usually choosing to observe rather than bark, and responds well to praise as well as treats.
Eloise is ready to keep moving forward on her journey of becoming the amazing dog she’s already shown herself capable of being. She would do best with a person or family who will continue her training, take her on the occasional adventure, and give her lots of opportunities to socialize with people and pets (she hasn’t met a cat yet but will likely do fine) balanced with time to snuggle. Does that sound like you?
Eloise is estimated to be 4 months old and 6 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

We only adopt out animals to homes within 60 miles of the Twin Cities. Our adoption process begins with the return of our pre-adoption form, available on our website. After reviewing your application a meeting is scheduled between you and the pup, sometimes in the fosters home or at a neutral dog friendly place. If any resident dogs are in your home, it is recommended that the pups meet at this time. After the meeting a home visit is scheduled and if everything goes well with the visit the adoption is finalized at that time. A home visit by one of Safe Hands representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pup will be living sometime during the adoption process.

More about this rescue
Safe Hands is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters. Of great importance to us is to reduce the stray population and need for healthy animal euthanasia through spay/neuter programs, education, and promotion of respect for the furry creatures that share our lives.
We are a small, no-kill, volunteer run organization. All of our dogs listed are in foster homes waiting to be adopted and because of this, we get to know the dogs' personalities very well and use this information to match them to an appropriate home. We do not have a physical shelter.
This rescue is not funded by public funds nor does it receive many donations so it is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. We have a great need for foster homes. If you are interested in providing foster care, and live within an hour of the Twin Cities, please e-mail us
Donations ALWAYS needed are: dog crates, puppy pee pads, natures miracle (for pet stain removal), Nutrisource brand puppy and dog food, Lysol disinfecting wipes, paper towels, large clean towels, dog toys, leashes, collars and gas cards to help with our transports.
