Good with dogs,

Story

Hi, I’m Isobel and I am one sweetheart. I am growing up with my 5 siblings, currently we live in an xpen together while my foster mom works and then play together when she’s home. We like to run around and hide under the couch or find toys. We love people and other dogs, and of course when we are tired, we pile up and sleep. We are super friendly and snug-gable! When you pick us up, our little tails start wagging and we love to be close. We are such good pups and can’t wait to find our forever homes! Isobel is estimated to be 9 weeks old and 7 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 are also holding the following upcoming adoption events! Sunday, November 24, noon-2pm, Unmapped Brewing, 14625 Excelsior Blvd, Minnetonka, MN 55345 https://www.facebook.com/events/1254978935847465 Animal attendance is subject to change based on their availability. Please check our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/ for confirmed attendance the morning of the event.

Jack

Beagle

Male, 1 yr 6 mos

St. Paul, MN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids,

Story

Meet Jack, a playful and affectionate Beagle with a heart as big as his love for treats! This handsome guy sports a classic Beagle coat of white with brown and black patches, weighing in at 24 pounds—a perfect small companion. Jack is all about the snuggles, often curling up on his favorite blanket when he’s ready for a nap, and you might catch him perched on the arm of the couch like Snoopy, surveying his kingdom with curiosity.Jack has made great strides since coming into rescue and he’s working hard to master the art of being a good boy. He’s working on becoming more comfortable in the crate and will go in it to relax without being prompted. He’s gained more confidence in his foster home and is showing off his playful side by jumping for treats and zooming around the yard! A fenced yard is ideal for Jack so he can play safely.Jack is still nervous to meet other dogs and will opt to hide behind his people rather than play. He’s yet to meet a cat, but would likely need a slow introduction before feeling comfortable around them. He’s done well with older kids and will gladly accept snuggles from all people! Due to the nature of Jack’s breed, he’s been known to be vocal when home alone. For this reason, he should go to a home that does not have shared walls.If you’re interested in learning more about Jack and think he might be a good fit, fill out an application using the link below to learn more! https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%.Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown.Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
