My story

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

Adoption Fee: $460, plus tax
Location: Foster Home

Minnie has the most expressive eyes and is a nice, petite size. Minnie LOVES her humans. She is very tuned into pleasing her humans and is very attentive to the tone of voice and watches her humans closely. She loves her belly rubs, this is one of her favorite "activities", she is friendly to all humans she encouters. She knows a "sit" command and is very food motivated. She walks well on a leash and is mostly potty trained. She sleeps well through the night and does well in a kennel.
She loves humans more than other dogs. But she gets along well with other dogs as long as they don't push the boundaries. She gets along with older non-dominant dogs. She would thrive in a home as a single pet or with other non-dominant dog. She hasn't been cat tested, but she doesn't have prey drive with chickens, which is a good sign when it comes to felines.

Medical Information on Minnie:
Minnie has been diagnosed with four mast cell tumors.
A mast cell tumor (MCT) is a type of malignant (cancerous) tumor consisting of mast cells. Mast cell tumors typically form nodules or masses in the skin, but they can also affect other areas of the body, including the spleen, liver, intestine, and bone marrow. MCTs are the most common skin tumor in dogs (7%-21%). Most dogs with MCT (approximately 85%) only develop one tumor.
Minnie has had all 4 masses removed! She is healing well and is ready for her new home. CSHS is wanting to be completely transparent with protentional adopters regarding Minnie's medical history. Minnie still has a lot of life to live and deserves a forever home of her own. Continued monitoring of previous or new lumps/bumps with the adopter's regular veterinarian is highly recommended.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

While we are a foster-based animal rescue and all of our dogs are in foster care, we do have a cat adoption space at our new Adoption & Wellness Center in Chaska. We also partner with local retail locations like PetSmart Richfield and Chuck & Don's Chanhassen to feature adoptable cats at their stores.

More about this rescue

Carver-Scott Humane Society was founded in 1989 with the mission of connecting animals in need with people who care. Our vision is a world where every animal is safe, cared for, and loved.

In 2017, we introduced a new, innovative rescue philosophy based on our Four Pillars: TNR, Serve Where You Save, FurKeeps, and Adopters Welcome. As of 2018, we adopt over 500 dogs and cats into the community every year, with a nationally reported Live Release Rate of 97%. We serve over 1,000 Minnesota pets and their families annually through our surrender prevention program, FurKeeps, aiming to keep pets out of the shelter system in the first place.

CSHS focuses on serving and saving Minnesota pets, and we do not transport animals in from out of state. We do our best to prevent surrender, which creates capacity for us to transfer most of our animals from high-volume impounds and shelters throughout the state. For the past three years, we have transferred more animals from Minneapolis Animal Care & Control than any other animal welfare organization.
