Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Jagger (aka: Kody, Kody bear, Kodiak) is a Shepherd X with an approximate DOB of 5/14/2020. Jagger weighs in at approx. 50 lbs. He is a fun and playful pup with lots of energy, who would benefit from an active lifestyle. Jagger loves to go on walks, car rides and hikes. He is a shadow and wants to follow you where ever you go. He also likes to go out frequently and run around the back yard. Jagger knows some basic commands and will do well with continued training and learning as he is a very intelligent dog. He is very treat motivated and loves a midday Kong filled with kibbles and treats. Jagger likes to play with his toys, chewing on bones and playing fetch. Jagger can be very mouthy when playing, and needs work on gentler pay, for this reason it is best if he is not in a home with children under age 12. Though, this may not be as bad as he ages. We are working on calming him down when he get really feisty, but he is still young and wants to play hard. Jagger was in a previous home with another dog who was more possessive of their food and treats and Jagger did not take cues to stop playing or bothering the dog. For this reason, Jagger would do best in a home where he is the only dog. Jagger is working on leash manners and does pretty well when he sees other dogs though he likes to try to get to them and he tries to charge moving vehicles, so more leash work is needed.  Jagger does bark at other dogs and people through the backyard fence, and he barks in he house when he sees people outside, so no shared walls. Jagger also should not be on a house with cats due to his high prey drive - this is also a reason a fenced backyard would be best for Jagger. Jagger is kennel trained but may whine and bark a bit when he first goes in and when he hears people moving about. He sleeps best with a fan or other sound on.  Jagger is a very sweet and loving dog who will cuddle when he is ready to settle down. Jagger is ready for his forever home, if you would like to meet him in person fill out an application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Well hello new friend, it is nice to meet you! My name is Fallon and I am a special boy looking for a special home! You see when I was a puppy, something went a little wrong in my body and I have been urinary incontinent since. We tried shots and medication but nothing worked. The vet said there could be a surgery available but the odds of it working weren't good and it was risky. So now I still go outside to go to the bathroom, but I "drip" when I am in the house. It is not my fault as I am a really good boy! I wear a male wrap with a pad on and I am SO good at wearing it! When we come back in the house from being outside, I know to wait for my wrap to be put on and then go play. My foster parents just say "Fallon you are naked" and I come right to them for my band. My pad just gets changed when it has urine in it, which isn't all the time, and my wrap needs to be washed every so often to stay clean.   If that didn't scare you away, look at how handsome I am! I do so great in the car, I love the resident dogs and all the other foster dogs that come and go. I have no food or treat aggression as there is enough to go around. I love to snuggle with the other dogs and when my foster mom sits on the couch, I will jump right in her lap to snuggle and watch TV. I enjoy playing outside and I run all over the backyard like the silly and goofy boy I am! I am kennel trained and don't mind my kennel at all! I love to play with toys and chew on antlers. I am a healthy boy who is up to date with all my vaccines, I take my heartworm prevention, and I get my flea/tick meds monthly. I do love my foster mom and dad, but it would be great to have my own forever home with another dog to play with! Could that be with you?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, my name is Elsie and I am a Lab X  with a DOB of 10/22/22 (approx. 50lbs). I am a native to Minnesota where I was found roaming the streets in St Paul. Animal Control was kind enough to give me a lift as I thought it was to my home, but it was to the nearest doggie jail where no one claimed me.   I would like to mention a few characteristics I have that make me stand out from the doggie crowd. -  I hop like a bunny around the yard. -  I patrol the yard for squirrels, rabbits & cats. No one gets past this girl’s watchful eye. -  I am non-reactive with other dogs – I just want to play with them. -  I have a 4’ 5” vertical jump.  6’ fence is recommended -  I Pounce on tennis balls while I play with them. I like to ride a shotgun when it comes to car rides. They make a doggie seat belt as I have been told and I guess that should be used for any car rides in the future. I am learning not to dash out the door when it’s open.  I’m just very excited to follow my foster mom wherever she goes. I love toys, but I don’t share them with other animals. You just need to take all my toys, hide them and I can play with other dogs in harmony.  I have been known to escape my kennel. Because of this I now have my own “No Break Kennel”. This now keeps me out of trouble when I’m home alone. I am not a fan of the kennel, but I settle down quickly.   I tend to pull on the leash, so my foster mom bought me a hot pink gentle leader (I'm the prettiest girl on the block now) and is teaching me basic commands such as heal and stay for starters.  I have to say, so far so good as I do enjoy my walks in the neighborhood.  I am still working on potty training.   What kind of home would do best for me: -  Active home that can release my spirited energy and have dog stimulation toys. -  I am food motivated and this works great for training. -  Be patient as I am still young and learning. -  Love me with all your heart as I will do the same.      Are you my forever home?      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Tootsie, the goldendoodle with a tale as fluffy as her coat! This little lady had a rocky start, but with a little time and trust, she's blossomed into a loving companion. Tootsie's not one for the limelight; she's more of a backstage kind of pup. Her real passion lies in the company of her furry friends. Yep, Tootsie's all about the pups, not so much the humans. Tootsie's perfect match? A home complete with a fenced yard over 4 feet tall and a doggie friend for companionship. Cats are a no-go for this gal as she seems to have a high prey drive when it comes to small critters. What else does Tootsie need? a quiet environment to call her own, and a family who gets her – boundaries and all. If you're thinking of bringing Tootsie home, you'll need more than just love; you'll need a deep understanding of her unique needs. Tootsie's not your average pup, but for the right family, she's the missing piece to the puzzle.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Quince is a Lab/Terrier mix with the most soulful puppy eyes you’ve ever seen! This sweet guy is equal parts snuggle buddy and playmate, always ready to melt your heart with his gentle gaze and loving nature.   Quince is fantastic with other dogs—he's playful but respectful of boundaries, getting along especially well with the female Pit Bull in his foster home. He’s already making great strides with his training! He knows commands like "sit," "down," "shake," and is getting good at "stay." He’s still learning leash manners, so having a backyard to play in would be ideal as he continues practicing his walks. He also kennels very well and sleeps in his kennel at night.   Quince thrives in a home where he can be close to his people, getting all the attention and love he deserves. Whether he’s playing outside or cozying up for some downtime, he’ll bring endless joy to the right person or family. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and heart-melting friend, Quince is ready to be your new best buddy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hey everyone!  My name is Sugar (DOB: 8/19/2017), an adorable 50lbs Pit mix, but my foster mom calls me Ember.  You see, it isn’t that Sugar wasn’t a good fit for me, in fact, I truly am as sweet as sugar, but I came to my foster mom in really rough shape and since I didn’t respond to Sugar, foster mom thought it would be perfect to give me a new name for a new beginning; and boy have we had a journey. During this time with my foster mom, I have gone through 3 separate knee surgeries due to an ACL tear and one separate surgery for a lump on my toe that needed to go! Ha ha, that rhymes! Now that I am all healed, I am ready to finally find my new forever home! Now that all the boring health stuff is out of the way, let me tell you all about myself! I love doing so many fun and exciting things.  I love playing fetch outside, and it doesn’t matter what I’m fetching. I am all in! I take really good care of my toys too that they'll likely last forever.  I’m super food motivated too so you could likely teach my any commands you want.  There really isn't anything I wouldn't do for a good smelly treat, I would absolutely excel in an obedience class.  I love going on walks too, especially when we run into new friends! I just love pretty much everyone.  I even like cats! I have learned that some kitties are not interested in playing but others enjoy playing with me as much as other dogs. My absolute favorite thing in the entire world is when I get to spend time with my foster mama.  I love nothing more than getting pets, belly rubs, and plopping onto foster mom's lap for extra close cuddles.  She even lets me sleep with her at night and it makes me sooooo unbelievably happy that I curl up right against her back.  She really says I am truly the best cuddler in the world.  And if I’m not cuddling on the cough, I am probably sitting on the cough like a human. It makes me feel special. Now while foster mom says I am pretty much perfect, I do have one area that I still struggle with a bit. Now mind you, I have made leaps and bounds in this category but sometimes I still have potty accidents. These are few and far between if you follow some easy instructions: let me out regularly throughout the day, make sure you let me out as soon as we wake up in the morning and before we go to bed, and keep me crated if you leave the home in a special crate that foster mom can discuss with you in further detail. These simple things really prevent 99% of accidents. Also, did I mention, I easily go into my crate every morning before mom goes to work? So, what do you think, are you ready to add the sweetest, most amazing pittie girl to your life?  If so, I'm your gal.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?
