Story
Oreo here! I'm good with dogs and cats. I'm kennel trained and working on house training (I'm not fixed so there is some marking). My foster mom noticed that I'm good with kids but they should be older kids, just because of my size. I am hesitant of new people but it doesn't take long for me to warm up. Contact steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com or call 507-451-4512 to set up a meet-n-greet. My adoption fee is $350.

Story
Shaun here! Hi! This is what Foster Mom has to say, "He's definitely a people person, loves to be the center of attention, loves to cuddle and belly rubs. Shaun does very well with kids, other female dogs, and sometimes cats (depending on how the cat does with him!). He has done great in our home with 5 kids and a dog! Loves going on walks and does very well. He is a little timid with adult males, but will warm up to them if given a little time. He is high energy and loves to play, so would do well in a home where he can run and play! He’s very well behaved." Also, I'm altered, house trained, and up to date on all age-appropriate shots. Contact steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com or call 507-451-4512 to set up a meet-n-greet. My adoption fee is $350.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Joy Galbrecht (Joyous198@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Willow is a sweet girl that is learning how to be a dog.  She is very friendly but still a little skittish.  Loud noises and unfamiliar items startle her.  She knows how to use the doggy door at her foster home and prefers to go outside with the other dogs rather than by herself. She gets along with all dogs of all sizes and will benefit from being in a home with other dogs that will show her the ropes and help her be the confident girl she deserves to be.  She doesn't pay any attention to the cats in her foster home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 11, 2025, 1:21 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Bree is a 10-year-old, female, pure bred Boxer. She is in the process of learning how to be a dog. She was rescued from a puppy mill and had never been out of a cage, so everything was new to her: grass, stairs, carpet, couch, house, etc. However, Bree is loving her new freedom and is making great strides every day. She loves other dogs, cats, people, and Pup cups! Bree is very smart and loving. She is almost fully potty trained and learned in only 2 weeks. Bree is scared of outside noises, such as cars going by on the road, so we haven't taken her for a walk down the road yet. She walks fine around our yard on a leash, but if there's a loud noise, she will try to hide. Bree is a sweet heart who is loving her new life.                Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 11, 2025, 1:21 pm
