Story
Location: Monticello, MN Hi there, I’m Gromit! I’m a curious, happy puppy with all the typical puppy energy. Always ready to explore, play, and see what’s going on around me. I currently have three furry siblings and I love them all…but shhh, don’t tell anyone, my favorite is my fur brother because he can really match my energy! I adore following my siblings around and when playtime is over, I’m always first in line for snuggles. There’s also this small looking dog in my foster home… I think it’s a dog? It hisses at me a lot, so I’m not totally convinced. Still, I’m very brave and polite. I just approach slowly and carefully to see if I can sneak in a sniff or two. I love staying close to my foster parents, but my absolute favorite human is the little one who mysteriously always has snacks to share. Honestly, I think we’re best friends. I’m learning that my kennel is my own little space and I’m doing a great job practicing, but right now I still have sleepovers on the big dog bed with two of my fur siblings. I sleep through the night with no accidents as long as I get a potty break before bedtime and I’m doing really well with potty training overall! I’ve made huge improvements since my first couple of days in my foster home and I get better every day. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow with a big heart, I’m ready to wiggle my way into your life. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Rock Valley, IA Norbert is a sensitive, sweet soul who thrives in calm, understanding environments. He absolutely loves being outside—running, playing, and soaking up fresh air—and when playtime is done, he’s more than happy to settle in for cuddles. He’s potty trained and does wonderfully when left alone, never chewing things up… as long as he’s not crated. Crates are a big no for Norbert and cause him a lot of stress, so he does best with freedom and trust. He loves other dogs and really enjoys having canine friends to play with. He’s also around cats; while it took him some time to adjust, they’re slowly warming up to each other. Norbert can be a bit too enthusiastic and wants to play rough, but he’s actively working on learning better manners. Norbert is initially very scared of new people and prefers quiet, low-key settings. He’s a high-anxiety boy who needs patience, gentle reassurance, and time to feel safe—but once he does, his affectionate side truly shines. He’s medium energy overall and lives for his toys and bones, which bring him a lot of comfort and joy. Norbert would do best with a calm, patient home that understands his need for space, routine, and kindness. With the right person, he’ll be an incredibly loyal, loving companion. 🐾💙 --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Sioux Falls, SD Meet Ruby (aka Scarlet)! ❤️🐾 Ruby is a beautiful sweetheart (33% German Shepherd, 67% mystery mix!) with a heart full of love and a spirit full of fun. She came into foster care at just 4-weeks-old, was adopted by her foster mom, and is now looking for a new forever home after her owner became too ill to care for her. Ruby still has that adorable puppy energy and is affectionately known as a “Velcro dog”—she loves being close to her people! She bonds quickly, follows her humans from room to room, and is happiest when she’s part of whatever you’re doing. Ruby’s strengths: ✨ Kennel trained ✨ Potty trained ✨ Very smart and quick to learn ✨ Affectionate, sweet, and well-mannered ✨ Great with other dogs and cats ✨ Spayed (fixed) and fully up to date on vaccinations She loves playing fetch, going for walks, and will thrive with someone who wants an active companion. Ruby is looking for a family or individual with time to play, exercise, and enjoy her energetic, loving personality. Bonus: Ruby comes with her kennel, bed, toys, treats, and LOTS of food—she’s all set and ready to settle right into her new home! If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and lively companion, Ruby might be your perfect match. ❤️🐶 --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Lakeville, MN Frisbee is a super sweet boy. He also does not take any crap! He gets along great with my dogs and cat. The first few days he was very protective over food and water but he has since gotten over that! He used to love going in his kennel at night but now I think he feels like he might miss out on something and doesn’t want to go in. He always gets a treat when he goes in and has one of his toys with him. He also has background music to help him sleep. He is really good and does not poop or pee in his crate and he doesn’t cry until he hears me wake up in the morning. He loves having his tummy rubbed! His favorite thing to do is play with his toys. The first week that he was here, he was very nervous around people. He’s definitely getting better but still cautious. He’s really smart and will do anything for cheese! I think he’s going to be the best dog for somebody but I think that person needs to be super active, dog savvy and not easily conned by his cuteness! --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
Location: Crystal, MN Molly is a sweet girl. She loves kids. She ignores our 3 cats and is good with other dogs that respect her. No reaction to other dogs barking. She's a lazy bones that doesn't jump up on people or furniture. Unfortunately, she doesn't do well in storms. We've found that she has a built in barometer. She knows when rain is about to start. Also, kennels are a no. She doesn't like being trapped or cornered. With her double coat, I can only imagine the joy for her to bound in the snow and cold. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
