Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please help us by fostering  TODAY!!!!! ________________________________________________________ We try to evaluate  most of our adoptable dogs temperament  with a senior UDR rescuer before it goes into a foster home. This helps ensure we place it in the right foster home. We may have some dogs in rescue who are not on our website that we are getting to know and who may need a foster home. Our goal is to place dogs in the right foster and adoptive homes! Of course it is up to the fosters to further evaluate the dogs while they are living in the home.  New arrivals coming soon! We partner with Doberman Rescue of Northern Texas, High Desert Doberman Rescue and many other rescues across the US and world. We have new Dobermans coming in often and have the ability to take in a homeless Dobermans the same day we are contacted should we get a surrender request. We can always use fosters to be on the ready to foster one of these new arrivals!         Please apply on our website to foster, or give a shout out if you can help any of these dogs!! As always fosters get the first chance to adopt! You provide a safe, loving home with daily structure until your foster dog gets adopted. Time frame is anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months. If you have a dog, your dog may like a friend. We try match up the dog with the foster home best suited for each dog in need. UDR supplies all the dog food, some supplies and always pays for vet care. Going on vacation and worried you will have to find a place for your foster dog?? NO worries!!!Know we DO have numerous options for vacation boarding and doing temporary fostering of your foster dog while you take that much needed vacation. We are also in need of short term fosters, those foster homes who would take in a foster dog on a short term basis, a weekend, a week or two, even to help in emergency or medical situations. Please fill out our foster application today and help a dog in need!!!  Fosters get first chance to adopt their foster dogs, so this might be a great way to "test" out your new friend. Fostering has its perks!! Many fosters do join the foster failure club, meaning they end up adopting their foster dog! Why should I foster a dog? Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have (other than adopting, of course). By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re: freeing up a spot so a shelter can take in another dog. giving your foster dog the time he needs to be ready for adoption. helping us learn more about the dog so he can end up in the best home possible. socializing the dog to a home environment and possibly getting him used to being around other pets and different types of people. Thank you for helping us help them! Fostering saves lives. Be a hero, foster a dog in need! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All potential adopters must fill out  the adoption application. Please read our adoption policies page in its entirety before filling out application-failure to do so may delay the adoption process. Please answer all questions on the application, failure to do so may result in your application being denied. We do not adopt on a first come first serve basis but what is the best fit for our dogs.  We do give preference to homes with fenced yards. Puppies must live in homes with fenced yards. Those with no fencing must have a plan in place for daily activity and bathroom breaks for adult dogs. With the exception of Meet and Greets, y ou will not be able to meet our adoptable animals until the adoption application is submitted online and the home visit is completed. We will not place adult rescue dogs in homes with young children under 6 years old, with the exception of puppies 6 months and under, we will adopt to families with children under 6 years old, but a fenced yard is mandatory. Our dogs must live indoors with their humans and never left outdoors alone or in a kennel or yard unattended. You must be willing to use a crate and sign up for formal obedience classes. You must be 21 and own your home. We will not adopt outside of the USA. We will not ship our dogs.

Story
Location: Maple Grove MN My name is Genevieve, and I am one hilarious and opinionated dog that would love to make you laugh! What Genevieve Needs with her Forever Family: Genevieve is leery of new people, so she must have another dog in the home to guide her. Kids in the home should be older (8+ at minimum, but older is preferred.) She also would do best in a home that does not share walls, as she loves to express her thoughts and ideas to her family - she loves to have conversations with us, and it is hilarious! What we love about Genevieve: She is super smart. Once she has learned she can trust you, you could train her to do just about anything in the home. She loves learning 'word buttons' and playing games with her humans. She loves going on walks, but her most favorite thing is to play with other dogs. She does great with our 9 and 14 year old kids, but their friends know that they need to give her space; she doesn't like new people approaching her, but she will approach them for a proper greeting when she is ready. She is kennel and potty trained. Once she gets to know her humans, she will sneak in for some well loved neck scratches, and then she'll pop back to her favorite spot on the couch for a nap, or find a ball to run around with. She also loves chewing on antlers. Genevieve has made incredible progress in rescue, and is beyond ready to find her forever family! -------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Spirit Lake, IA Hello! My name is Arthur, a.k.a Artie or Art the Fart. My best quality you ask, my ears. They are so big and soft everyone loves them. I also will steal your heart with my adorable head tilts. What can I say? I'm irresistibly charming! I am a very sweet boy who loves to play and be with the humans. I came from a home with cats, who I loved to chase- but apparently they were not fans. I really do love small animals, but I am too intrigued and get too excited where I don't understand the size difference. I am not any sorts of aggressive towards them, but I play harder than they can handle and struggle with my boundaries around them. I would do best in a home with dogs similar to my size. I was in a foster home with 2 dogs my size and I loved running around the yard and playing with them. I thoroughly enjoy toys - all kinds of them. Give me a bone, I will chew on it. Give me a stuffed toy, I will show you how fast I can get the stuffing out. Throw me a ball, you bet I'll be bringing it back to you for more. I've also recently discovered tug of war with my foster siblings and parents and it is awesome! I am overall house trained, but have had some accidents in my kennel. I have a tendency to drink ALOT of water, so my foster mom monitors my intake before bedtime. I will gladly go in my kennel for you with a treat. My leash manners need a little work - but I know sit, stay, down, shake and wait. I don't dig or try jump fences. Like what you've heard? I'd love to give you a chance to be my best friend and show you how much love I have to give. ------ The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Burbank, SD Meet Jameson aka Jimmy! This sweet boy adores being near dog friends and is happiest when walking and playing outside. He does well walking on a leash. He absolutely loves ear scratches and naps, and he is quickly learning to be a dog and discovering the joy of toys - especially bully sticks. Jimmy enjoys the company of other dogs and will help him to transition at his new home with canine friend who is similar in size. He is guarded at first and does need slow introductions; but with a bit of space, time, and treats, he warms right up! Because he tends to bark and chase after smaller animals, a feline-free household is probably best. A fenced in back yard will be best as he is easily spooked and will be safest for him. He also likes to play ball with the resident 11 year old human but younger children cause him anxiety. Sometimes men make him nervous and favors the females in the home. Jimmy sleeps/stays in a kennel when his foster mom is at work or sleeping. When he wants to go outside he will bark or ring the bells on the door. This gorgeous boy may be shy, but will warm up quickly to his forever family. Jimmy is happy, healthy, and ready to find her forever family.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Location: Faribault, MN My name is Eva (Ava). I have been in rescue for over a year. It hasn't been easy for me; I came into rescue scared with a litter of puppies. My foster mom thinks I was used to having puppies/litters. I am scared of strangers, but my foster mom has been working on this with me all year and says we've made big progress. We've walked through towns and gotten many pup cups, those are my favorite! I have been to an adoption event, some people I was okay with, others not so much, as long as boundaries were respected, I was ok. Although I act tough my foster mom says I'm a total goof ball. I zoomie all through the yard and love when I get a super chewer barkbox!!! I am potty trained, I sleep all night in my kennel, I don't howl like my siblings. I get along with dogs, but I can be selective, I just really don't like when they're too hyper. The calmer the better. Mom says absolutely no small animals can be around me, can't imagine why, I love chasing the squirrels in the yard. In my free time I love to chew on my toys and nap, that's really it. Play outside, chew, nap, I'm pretty easy if I say so myself. I'll even nap in your lap if you let me. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Byron, MN Elf is about 40 pounds, Happy, Healthy and fully Vetted. Elf is Potty and Kennel trained, He sleeps all night in his kennel and is out during the day with no issues. He loves the outdoors and to play fetch. He knows Sit, Stay and Wait. He is a smart, active puppy who is ready for his forever home He is skittish at first with new people and does bark at first sight of strangers, but redirects after he is comfortable. He is good with our house dog (shitzu) with reminders to be careful. He would do well with another large dog to play with, but can be an only pet. As fun and energetic as he can be, he also makes the perfect cuddle companion on those slow nights at home. At only 11 months old, he has a long life to share with you and your family --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
