My story

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

** COURTESY POSTING**
This cat is not with Heading Home K9 Rescue. We are listing on behalf of the owner.

Hi there! My name is Roo, but my foster family calls me MauMau. You are probably wondering how such a cute, petite gal like myself ended up here looking for a home. I'm proud to say I broke into a cabin while running amuck. I sat my little bum on the couch and tried to give love to the human sitting there. I'm so friendly and will forcibly love on any human who will give me attention- it's a perk! Anyways, flash forward to now, I'm healthy, happy and ready for my new family! My foster home says I am one of the friendliest and coolest cats around because you can plop me into a brand new home environment and I'll act like I've lived there my whole life! I'm not phased by much- although, I would appreciate a home with no dogs, or a dog who ignores me and gives me my space. Basically a dog that acts like a cat... because dogs that act like dogs scare the beejeezus out of me. I've come to accept I'm not really a canine-loving feline. I am litter box trained, well behaved for nail trims and will meow back when you say my name. My foster mom says I am very vocal and will tell you all the stories if you'll listen! I am a good kitty and don't scratch things and I am great help in the kitchen! I enjoy baking biscuits- air biscuits or blanket biscuits - both are my specialities. I love to knead my toes any time I'm receiving attention. It's one of my cutest quirks! I also LOVE toys... Especially my catnip banana! My future family will need to spend millions on toys for me to play with. Ok, maybe not millions, but definitely lots of money because I live to play! I'm a fun, sweet and spunky young lady after all!

I'm spayed, up to date on vaccinations, FeLeuk negative, microchipped and ready to meet you! My foster mom is asking a reasonable rehoming fee to help cover some of the money spent helping me prepare to find my forever family. I'll be waiting for you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

id you see a dog that caught your eye? Ready to start the adoption process? Happy to help! Feel free to email the dog's listed contact with any questions you have...the dogs live in our homes with us so we know them very well.

Please fill out the preadopt application which is the first step to meeting/adopting a dog from HHK9. We read through the application, check references, and once approved (we aim for 24-48 hours to approve or deny depending on how quickly references reply), we set up a visit with you and the foster home or direct you to an adoption event to meet the dog(s). Fosters are more than happy to answer questions that arise. We all want a good match the first time, and a successful experience for the adopter and the dog.

After meeting, you can choose to adopt if it seems like a good match. There is a 2 week trial on all adoptions to ensure there is time for the dog adjust and the fit between the dog and your home is right. We encourage adopters to give it a MINIMUM of a week. Returning a dog before that period means it never had a chance to settle in and show you what the true personality is like. Moving dogs between homes is stressful and not in the dog's best interests. We are here to support you after adoption also, answering questions and helping make the process as positive as we can. We highly recommend you read the tips in this packet (Adopting 101) before bringing your new dog home...it will help greatly ease the transition and make it a positive experience for everyone!

Our adoption fees are non-negotiable and average about $385 for adults and $425 for puppies which includes their vet work-spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing (if old enough),microchip, deworming, and current preventatives. Often the vet costs far exceed the adoption fee, especially on our special needs dogs. We rely on adoption fees to be able to continue to rescue more dogs in need.

More about this rescue

We are dedicated to rescuing homeless and unwanted animals. We are a non-profit, 501(c) 3-tax exempt, no-kill dog rescue and placement organization based in Minnesota. Although our focus is primarily on rescuing dogs, we sometimes rescue cats & kittens as well. We are an independent organization and depend solely on adoption fees, fundraisers, and donations to operate. We receive NO government support. We try our best to match the dogs with the needs, wants, personalities, and lifestyles of potential adopters to ensure a healthy, happy, & permanent home. All Heading Home K-9 dogs must live indoors. Dogs are social pack animals by nature and we want them to be able to have all of the companionship, love, & attention they deserve, as well as a chance to bond with the family.

We rescue all types of dogs, ranging from small to large breeds. Roughly 40% of the dogs we rescue are purebred while the other 60% are mixed breeds. We will tell you about each dog's history, personality, & behavior, including whether or not they are good which children and other pets, their exercise needs, & other important information.
