My personality

My story

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

Keely is a bundle of love wrapped up in one adorable, happy puppy! She’s as sweet as they come, and her gentle, intuitive nature makes her a joy to have around—whether it’s with humans, other dogs, or even cats.

Her best buddy in the world is a tiny 10-week-old puppy, and Keely is all about playing on his level, proving that she’s as thoughtful as she is playful. Her two small foster sisters aren’t really into puppy playtime, and that’s fine with Keely—she respects their space. But when it’s time to zoom around the yard and sniff out new adventures, they’re a happy pack of explorers.

As for the resident cat, Keely’s motto is “live and let live.” Even when the cat’s not the nicest, Keely stays cool and collected, content to offer a gentle sniff if given the chance.

Keely is discovering the thrill of car rides and the exciting places they lead to. As long as she’s with her favorite human, she’s ready for anything! This sweet girl is a natural adventurer who’s equally happy curling up by your side for some cozy downtime.

Keely does have one little quirk: she’s still learning where to “go.” Right now, she’s a pro at using potty pads but hasn’t yet mastered outdoor potty training. Her foster family is working on it, and her future family will need to continue this journey. While Keely may always prefer her pads, she’s worth every bit of effort for the joy she brings to your life.

Keely would absolutely love to be the center of her new family’s world. If you’re looking for a sweet, happy, and adaptable pup who will adore you forever, Keely might just be your perfect match!

Are you ready to meet your new best friend? 🐾

Keely is estimated to be 8 months old and 25 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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Go meet their pets

Come on out and meet all of our great adoptable pups!! On weekends we have meetings at random locations. See our events page on our website or social media.

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.
