Story
Pretty mellow dog, not spayed but up to date on shots as of 3/23/2024. Has been around young kids (2-7yo) and a cat. Loves the outdoors (walks, playing in water, and rope/chewy toys). Two different colored eyes. Born 11/30/2023. A bit of a jumpy girl, but understands not to jump on kiddos. When encountering other animals (such as other dogs or cats) on walks, she mostly will ignore them or look at you for direction. Crate/kennel trained, sleeps in there at night. Does have a bit of separation anxiety (chewer) but thrives with her pack. Definitely could use some training in manners and leash manners, but does know commands such as sit lay down shake leave it and kennel. Very laid back for a husky mix, and really not vocal much. Looking for a home that can give her structure or a job to do, preferably with another large breed dog but not a requirement with an experienced owner. Rehoming due to landlord dog breed policy change.

Story
Meet Cotton Candy! Meet the sweetest, funniest, goofiest boy around. Cotton is a little over a year old and full of Aussie energy. Cotton is looking for a family that has a great sense of humor and an understanding of the needs of this fun breed.Cotton is a double merle as is evident by his fluffy, white coat. It also can impact vision and hearing. In Cotton’s case he is completely deaf but does have some vision- mainly shadows. But this has ZERO effect on this boy and the wonderful life he will live!Cotton loves playing with other dogs and is generally fantastic with them- he is still a young, male Aussie that can’t always read other dog’s signals. Occasionally, he irks his companions but he’s a quick study and rarely repeats a misstep. He has been as respectful as he’s able to with the resident cats. Cotton loves all humans he meets- big and small!Cotton is a good boy in his crate and has (knocks on wood) figured out house training like a champ. Cotton loves to go for runs with his foster dad and is great at it. He’d be a wonderful training companion. Cotton is an active boy and needs to keep his brain and body busy. He’s smart and willing. Training him is a joy!Cotton is looking for a family that will encourage, train and help him continue to live a wonderfully full life. Herding dog knowledge is helpful but not necessary if you are willing and able to provide him the stimulation he needs. He does need another, welcoming dog in his new home. The give him a familiar, easy way to learn his new environment.Cotton will be endless laughs and the occasional head shake for his new family. They will truly be the lucky ones!So cute! Super cute!Cotton has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccinations. He has also tested negative for heartworm disease. His adoption fee is $450.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you have questions about Cotton or would like to meet him.

Story
STOP! No need to look any further-you have found the perfect girl! Journey is a fan favorite at this rescue. She is approximately 10 years old-but that doesn`t slow this ball retrieving, toy demolishing, happy, active girl down one bit! At her age, this girl knows how to live in a house. She`s not chewing your shoes or having accidents on the floor. She is content to lounge around until something fun happens.Journey is the perfect dog for many homes! She`d be perfect for a young family, she`d give a single person unending companionship, she would love to live with some active seniors. She is simply looking for a cozy bed and a full bowl of food daily.Journey is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. She has also tested negative for heartworm disease. Her adoption fee is $100.00 plus sales tax.Please submit an adoption application if you are looking for some canine perfection in your home.

Story
Age: 1 Gender: female Breed: black lab Location: northfield mn Fee: $75 Vetting: she is fixed and up to date on shots Ideal home: no cats probably as she tries to play with them like they're dogs, maybe another dog and she does well with preteen/older kids I am trying to rehome her as soon as possible. She has a lot of energy as she is a puppy so someone who has the time or a medium/big fenced backyard would be good. She's sweet and she listens fairly well, I've taught her some stuff She comes with the rest of her food or more depending on when she is rehomed, as well some toys and a few collars and leash and harness.
