Story
We got Stanley 3 years ago from a farm in Minnesota. He is a miniature Austrian Shepherd. He is loving and has a sweet personality. Some words to describe him would be playful, energetic, and smart. He is always up for playing and going for walks. We would like Stanley's new home to have space for him to run and play. He loves to sit outside, even in the cold, but at the same time, he enjoys being around his people. If trained, we think Stanley would really enjoy agility work. He is a working dog and loves to please. Recently he has barked at people in what could be an aggressive tone. We know that due to our busy lives Stanley has not received the attention and exercise he needs which more than likely is the cause of his aggressive barking. Please know Stanley has never bitten anyone. I hope we can find Stanley a better home. One where he can have the attention he needs, to play ball, go for walks, and get some love.

Story
Harley is a sweet boy, who loves to play with his toys. He loves people, including children of all ages! He is a very loyal boy and will follow you around the house. He enjoys laying on the couch, going for walks and getting lots of attention! He grew up with our male Goldendoodle and seems to do ok with other dogs at the groomers. However, he is on constant alert with our cats and follows and chases them around the house. He has nipped at them on a few occasions, this unfortunately is why we have to rehome him. We have tried to make it work, but it’s not fair to any of them in this situation. Besides the cat situation, Harley is a great dog! This is hard for us, so we want to make sure Harley finds a loving forever home! I think Harley would do best if he was the only dog and for sure no cats.

Story
This Sheltie requires a yard with a secure physical fence with direct access from the house. We adopt locally to the Twin Cities metro. We are not able to coordinate distance placements. Apply at Adoption Shadow is a very sweet girl who was rescued from a puppy mill situation. Her life experiences have been very limited and she is learning to feel safe with people and in a home. She would do best in a smaller family of 1-2 people. She’s a very good eater and loves playing with her foster Collie brother! Age: 1 year (BD 5/30/2023) Size: 22 lbs. Temperament: Shadow is a very energetic and sweet girl, always wanting to play and be silly. Her true personality is starting to shine through as she becomes more comfortable in her foster home. She is still a bit cautious with people but warms up quickly when allowed to approach on her own terms. Recently, she sat under her foster Mom’s chair, touching her legs, while a noisy outside project was happening at her foster home. Fence: A secure physical fence with direct access from the house is required because Shadow is a flight risk. She needs to be on a long line in the fenced yard as she may run when someone approaches her. She is getting much more comfortable in the yard and dances along happily when her foster mom picks up her leash. Shadow is starting to come into the house on her own, sometimes even running to the door and into the house Dogs: Shadow is playful with her Collie brother and can be pushy with him. She needs a tolerant canine playmate for play and security. She frequently initiates play and loves to chase and run in the yard. Cats: Shadow has learned to be respectful of cats in her foster home and not to approach them too closely. Kids: Unknown at this time. Shadow has not lived with children and has not been exposed to children. She will need an adult home or a home with an older child who understands about giving a dog space and waiting for a dog to initiate interaction, and who is responsible enough to close doors to prevent accidental escape. Crate Use: Shadow goes in and out of her crate when the door is open, and is crated at night and when no one is home. She sometimes chews on things, so belongings and hazards should be kept out of reach. Her family will need to allow free access to her crate to allow Shadow to feel safe and to adjust on her timeline. She is now coming out of her crate to get her leash on, and will race outside when the door to the fenced yard is opened. Housetrained: Shadow has had no accidents at her foster home. She goes out on leash to the fenced yard and is learning to come in on her own when the door is opened. Responds to Cues: Our priority is to build trust and to allow Shadow to adjust on her schedule. Shadow is learning to recognize and respond to her name. She watches the other animals and learned how to sit from the cat! Leash Walks: Shadow has learned how to walk on leash in the fenced area at her foster home and happily prances along now. For her safety, Shadow should not be taken on leash walks outside a fenced area for at least 4 weeks, and not before she feels safe with her person and has practiced leash walks within the fenced yard for several weeks. Car Rides: Shadow rides in a crate in the car for her safety. She has had limited car rides so far and has had some motion sickness. This may improve with time, medication, and positive car experiences. Activity Level: Medium energy – Shadow will sleep and rest, and also can be very playful and active. She loves her toys! Barking: Average for a Sheltie. Shadow gets excited for food - spinning and barking. She also gets excited and barks in her crate when something is going on in the house and does some alert barking. Health: No known health issues following veterinary examination, spay, vaccinations and 4DX. Experienced Home: Shadow will blossom in a home experienced in allowing the dog to set the pace for interaction and building trust, and who understands the precautions needed to keep a shy dog safe. Shadow is a very sweet and lively Sheltie with lots of personality and charm. She wants to please and is still learning about being in the house and interacting with humans. She loves playing with other dogs and playing with toys in the house. With time, she will be a very fun and spunky companion. Adoption fee: $450

She will move away if approached and will need someone who understands the importance of letting Sandy approach on her terms and her timeline. Fence: A secure physical fence with direct access from the house is required because Sandy is a flight risk. She needs to be on a long line in the fenced yard as she may run when someone approaches her. Dogs: Sandy gets along very well with another Sheltie in her foster home, and would love a canine friend in her new home. She wants to play and will try to get the other dog to engage. She loves to chase and be chased. Sandy would prefer one dog friend. More than that may be overwhelming for her. She has been in the home with 2 other dogs at a time and it seems that she would prefer to play one-on-one rather than with both dogs. Cats: Unknown. Sandy has not been introduced to cats. Kids: Unknown. Sandy has not lived with children and has not been introduced to children. She is wary of children when out on walks. Sandy will need an adult home or a home with an older child (age 10+) who understands about giving a dog space and waiting for a dog to initiate interaction, and who is responsible enough to close doors to prevent accidental escape. Crate Use: Sandy chooses her “kennel” when she feels unsure, and is crated at night and when no one is home. Her family will need to allow free access to her crate to allow Sandy to feel safe and to adjust on her timeline. Housetrained: Sandy has had no accidents at her foster home. Responds to Cues: Our priority is to build trust and to allow Sandy to adjust on her schedule. She responds to the cue “kennel”. Leash Walks: Sandy enjoys leash walks and does not pull.

Car Rides: Sandy rides in a crate in the car for her safety. Activity Level: Medium to high. Once she is settled and shows you her personality, Sandy will want to play much of the time with another dog. She enjoys chewing on toys and chasing them but doesn’t bring them back. Barking: Average for a Sheltie. Sandy will become vocal and playful once she’s come out of her shell. Health: No known health issues following veterinary examination, spay, vaccinations and 4DX. Experienced Home: Sandy will blossom in a home experienced in allowing the dog to set the pace for interaction and building trust, and who understands the precautions needed to keep a shy dog safe.

She loves playing with her canine friend and with toys in the house. Adoption fee: $450

Yuki

Husky Husky

Female, 4 yrs 2 mos
Blaine, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Name: Yuki Sex: Female Color: Isabella White Eye Color: Brown Birthday: 11/15/20 Weight: 40 Large Dog Friendly: Yes, she does really well with all the dogs she meets at the dog park. At home she tends to get nervous with other dogs when they are too hyper or wild. Small Dog Friendly: Unknown Cat Friendly: No Crate Trained: At this time, no, as she is not used to being in a crate. Appears to have some separation anxiety and will need work to get crate trained. Housebroken: Yes Energy Level: She is typically very calm, but does get zoomies and likes to run around. She would do best in a home where she can relax, cuddle and get all the belly rubs! She also loves walks, and regular runs in a fenced in yard/area Reaction to New People: She is shy at first, but warms up quickly and loves pets. Needs to work on socialization with new people and situations Kid Friendly: Older and calmer would be best for her, as young kids and their noises and quick movements make her nervous. Training: She knows the basics, but could use some better leash manners as she likes to jump around and go all husky when asked to go potty. She needs socialization to learn some confidence in new/public situations. Like most huskies, she is a runner, so caution by the doors and getting in and out of the car is needed. Fence: Currently she goes out on a leash to go potty and then back in, as she does not appear to like the cold as much as a lot of huskies. She does respect the fence at a dog park, but at home would need to be on a tie out or supervised as she will dig under or try to climb out. Solo or Siblings: She would love to be the lone center of human attention, but could also like a sibling to play with, depending on the dog as she can be picky about her playmates and if they are too hyper she can be nervous. From the Foster: Yuki is a furry little princess that loves all the attention. She is overall pretty calm, but also has her husky zoomies. Since a small pup, she has always been a bit shy and hesitant in unknown situations/people and needs to build her confidence, but she does love to explore, and would benefit from socialization and group training class. Like a typical husky, she loves to run, climb, jump etc, so may also benefit from joring or agility classes. She is tolerant of baths, but is scared of water otherwise, and will tip-toe through wet grass. She loves attention and belly rubs, and will lay on her back and paw at you or reach out to you for more if you stop. She is an all around adventurous, loving, curious and goofy girl who needs a best friend to cuddle, experience life with, and to help her overcome her nervousness/fear of the world. Adoption Fee: $50 - Submit an adoption before Valentines Day and upon approval Yuki will be available at the reduced adoption fee. All dogs coming into Adopt a Husky Minnesota receive care tailored to their needs, including: Nose-to-tail exam with a partner veterinarian, Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella), 4DX test to check for heartworm or tick exposure, Fecal Analysis, Heartworm and Flea/Tick Preventative, Spay/Neuter prior to adoption, Microchip, and are evaluated for temperament and trainability.

Teddy

Husky Husky

Male, 3 yrs 4 mos
Blaine, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Name: Teddy Color: Red & White Eye Color: Blue Birthday: 09-24-2021 (estimated) Weight: 60 Large dog friendly: Yes, prefers females. Can be selective meeting dogs on leash. Small dog friendly: No Cat friendly: No, strong prey drive Crate trained: Yes, but does whine, pace and bark. He had a history of soiling his kennel too. We are using a prescribed medication (prosac) to help ease his anxiety and have seen amazing results. It's an inexpensive med, costing just $8 for a sixty day supply. He has complete free roam of the house when home alone now. Has never been destructive. House-trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Reaction to new people: Friendly Kid friendly: Loves kids Training: Knows sit, paw, lay-down Normal husky coat which will require regular brushing. You should aim for once a week or so, and more when he is blowing his coat, typically twice a year. Fence: Strong tie-out recommended. He is an escape artist (can climb fences, and flip up gate latches) Solo or siblings: Requires a sibling, was adopted as a solo dog and was anxious, Just wasn't the right environment for him. From the foster: Need a snuggle buddy? Teddy is the one to keep you cozy at night and "aaaoooohhh" sweet nothings. Teddy gets along best with female dogs, and will take redirection well from dogs and humans. He tends to jump when greeting people and likes to counter surf. Teddy paces to let you know when he needs to go out. He enjoys walking nicely on the leash (not pulling too hard), followed by cuddles on the couch with his foster and the kids, nudging them for pets. Teddy does have some separation anxiety when home alone. Shared walls/apartment living would not be a good fit as he can be noisy at times, he is getting better and many times will go lay in his crate by choice when we are home. He recently started having free roam and has been doing really good! He is by far one of the sweetest and lovable huskies you'll ever meet. Adoption Fee: $50 - Submit an adoption application before Valentines Day and upon approval Teddy will be available at the reduced adoption fee. All dogs coming into Adopt a Husky Minnesota receive care tailored to their needs, including: Nose-to-tail exam with a partner veterinarian, Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella), 4DX test to check for heartworm or tick exposure, Fecal Analysis, Heartworm and Flea/Tick Preventative, Spay/Neuter prior to adoption, Microchip, and are evaluated for temperament and trainability.
