Story
Dakota was adopted in 2019 from a rescue that brought her up from Alabama. She loves everyone and everything. She is obsessed with comfort so she needs a nice dog bed, human bed, or pile of blankets to sleep on. She truly believes she's a lap dog and will never leave your side. Here are the cons... if you cannot provide your undivided attention or a comfy place to sleep she will follow you and cry. She also has anxiety towards anyone touching her paws. You can't clip her nails so she has to take 2 different sedation medications and use anesthesia to be out under for a nail trim. She truly is a good dog but she needs someone who can give her enormous amounts of love and patience.

Story
I love this girl and she is full of joy and energy! She loves to run around the yard and have fun. Always keeping an eye on her humans too… she is watchful, smart and loves to solve problems. I hate to let her go, but I am moving across the country to the city and she deserves a bit of a yard to run and play in and I can’t give that her any more.

Story
Needs a kid-free home - has nipped (level 2/3 on Dunbar scale, please contact for more info). He adores kids but is very protective of his home/property/car. Not food aggressive. Loves other dogs. Hoping to find him a loving home where he can thrive. Overall, he's a healthy and happy boy - just like the day we met him. He's so handsome (coloring is a blue fawn) and stayed on the smaller side, we call him a pocket Dane. 108 pounds. DOB is 4/20/19. He knows all his basic commands and is patient, kind, perfect mix of playful and lazy, and wants to please. Health scare when he was about 1.5, they ended up tacking his stomach. They think it might have been an IBS flareup, we found a food that works and he's had great digestion/no health issues since.

Story
Odie's ideal home would be a busy hunting home or even a veteran that needs a full time Velcro friend. Odie has not gotten a fair start and sadly has been in 3 homes now and needs to finally find his forever home. He came to our home from a breeder with field training and loves to chase the birds, and is a good pointer and retriever. He is also an over grown lap dog that loves to cuddle, give kisses, play tug of war and fetch. Now the down side, he has proven that he would do best in a home with no other dogs or at the least no other male dogs. He would also be best with no children. He has proven to be ok with cats. Is house broken and crate trained. Neutered and fully vetted. He will be 2 in May. Adoption fees negotiable for the right home.

Story
Gemma is a beautiful, two year old pit bull. She is from Arizona, where she was severely neglected by her previous family. We found her in Scottsdale through The Desert Dog Project (thedesertdogprojct.org) rescue, which is run by a friend. At first, Gemma seemed like the perfect dog for us so we drove her home, to Minnesota. Gemma is clingy and has a lot of anxiety due to her previous neglect and abandonment. She needs a warm, loving home without other animals. We have trained her to leave our 3 cats alone, but it took some time and work, and from time to time, we still see the look in her eyes telling us she is thinking about attacking She seems to covet women over men but easily latches onto whoever gives her positive energy and attention. A perfect day to Gemma is to snuggle with you/at your side in bed, on the couch or simply playing shadow, as she follows you around the house. We are moving and cannot bring her sweet self with us. She is young but overall a really good dog.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I purchased Rio from a breeder when he was 10 weeks old. Rios 3 now. I now have a 16 month old and its too much for me. He can sit, lay, shake, roll over, give kisses, speak and stand. He has a ton energy and would be best with alot of space to run around. He would be perfect for a farm as he is a herding dog. He seeks ALOT of attention. Also the best home would be without younger kids. I was staying with my Mom in Rockford, but just recently moved with my dad in St. Cloud.
