Princeton, MN

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Marble is a gentle, affectionate toy-lover looking for a loving home where she can play and relax. She is a cautious girl who takes a little time to feel comfortable around new dogs and people. She may bark at large dogs or unfamiliar visitors at first, and she’ll sometimes bark through the fence at the neighbor’s dog or when a new dog comes into the home. She has been through a lot! Marble came from a home with many dogs and was very shy when she first arrived. Now that she's had some time to adjust, she seeks out attention and pets. She’s starting to truly enjoy exploring, playing, and relaxing in the quiet of the house. She is mostly potty-trained and generally very quiet unless other dogs start barking. Marble loves food and treats, which makes her easy to train. One of her funniest quirks is stealing toys from the other dogs just to get them to chase her — she’s fast and playful once her confidence shines through! Marble would do best in a calm home with a confident companion dog who can show her the ropes. She has lived peacefully with several dogs and has never had a cross word with any of them. While she may never be a lap dog, Marble will be a loyal, loving presence for someone patient enough to let her bloom at her own pace. Marble’s previous owner had to enter a nursing home, and the rescue took her in along with four of her canine friends from that home. With a little time, understanding, and stability, Marble will continue to grow into the wonderful, devoted dog she’s meant to be. Marble is from Texas.

Fiesta

Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young

Princeton, MN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Looking for a spunky +1 for your next party? Fiesta is your girl! Fiesta is a happy, playful, fun-loving pup who loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, and be with her humans. She would do best with an active family who will include her in their adventures. Fiesta has a zest for life and a love for exploring the world with her people. She’s working on her leash manners—she’ll pull at first but settles in as you go. She’s also practicing her basic commands like sit, down, off, and no. Fiesta may jump up when she’s excited or happy, but she’s actively working on breaking that habit. Fiesta is potty trained with regular potty-break reminders when she’s out of her kennel, and she always keeps her kennel clean. She can be a bit vocal when first kenneled but quiets down after letting you know she’s not thrilled that playtime is over. She’s got a touch of sass, too—she’ll “talk back” if she’s told no or doesn’t get her way. Fiesta would be a wonderful addition to any family. With patience, love, and consistency, she will truly shine. Fiesta is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Peach

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Princeton, MN

(when grown) -

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! My name is Peach, and I’m starting to settle in after spending a week with my foster family. I’m still a bit nervous when I meet new people—especially men—so I need some time to feel comfortable and safe with new faces. I might bark or growl at first, but I haven’t shown any aggression. I don’t like being left alone, so a home where someone is around most of the time would be ideal for me. I’m not a fan of the crate and tend to panic a bit when closed in. I’ve also been known to do a little “counter surfing” and believe that finders are keepers, so for everyone’s sake, it’s best to keep tempting things out of reach! I go for three to four walks every day to practice my leash manners and build my confidence around new people. That’s helped a lot—and I haven’t had any potty issues in the house! I really enjoy the company of the resident dog here. He’s teaching me to trust people, sit for treats, walk nicely on a leash, and be part of a family. We play together, which helps burn off my bursts of puppy energy—even though I’m almost three years old! When he’s not in the mood to play, I can happily entertain myself with a toy. Tennis balls are the best! At night, my favorite place to sleep is near my humans—definitely in the same room, but ideally right next to you in bed. Once I feel safe and snuggled in, I’ll curl up close and snore softly beside you. Peach was found as a stray.

Star

American Pit Bull Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Princeton, MN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Star … this goofy little sweetheart — the pint-sized clown who’s guaranteed to make you laugh every single day! She’s got the silliest, most lovable personality. Her tiny legs move at lightning speed when she gets the zoomies (and oh boy, does she love her zoomies). When she’s not sprinting around the yard or rolling in the cool grass, she’s probably snoring like a tiny freight train during her nap — she’s a total snorer! Her adorable tongue hangs out of the side of her mouth thanks to her slightly off-center jaw, which only adds to her irresistible charm. And those big blue eyes? Always watching to see if you’re paying attention to her antics! She gets so excited to meet new people — she just wants love from everyone and can hardly contain her joy. We’re working on her jumping because sometimes her heart gets ahead of her manners, but it’s all out of pure happiness. She’s been through some tough times, and you can tell she’s ready for the good life she truly deserves. She did okay during her dog test at animal control but after being with us in foster care for a few weeks, she seems very selective. Might be best if she’s the only dog. Cats are a hard no … and because of her personality, kids who are older and respectful of her antics. Her goofy personality shines in everything she does — from the way she plays with her toys to her little “derpy” grin. The lady at animal control said if she had her own soundtrack, it would be the sound of a tuba as she walks — and honestly, that’s pretty spot-on! This silly, snuggly, tongue-out, tail-wagging girl is ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and plenty of zoomies! Star is from a local shelter.

Dottie

Labrador Retriever Pointer

Female, Young

Princeton, MN

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Dottie! She’s an almost 10-month-old Lab/Retriever mix bursting with love and joy. Dottie adores people—especially her people. She loves spending time outdoors, sniffing all the scents, collecting sticks, and going for walks. She does well on a leash but can get a little distracted by all the exciting new smells. Dottie enjoys chewing on bones, hard toys, and anything that squeaks. If she finds a piece of cardboard, she’ll happily shred it for fun. After playtime, she loves nothing more than curling up with a soft blanket (and you!) for some cozy snuggles. She needs very slow, proper intros to other dogs and takes some time to get comfortable with them. After slow intros, she plays well. Dottie would do best in a cat-free home as she is a little too interested in them. Dottie is both kennel-trained and potty-trained—a sweet, loving pup ready to find her forever family! Dottie is from an Owner Surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Bean, a 4-month-old sweetie of a Jack Russell mix. Found as a stray in Texas, Bean hasn’t had many chances to learn how to just be a puppy, but he’s already showing how incredibly smart and affectionate he is. He scares easily at first, but with a little patience and reassurance, he quickly relaxes and shows his playful, cuddly side. Bean understands when he’s in trouble—he’ll give you the best puppy eyes before wiggling his way back into your good graces. He’s eager to learn and will thrive in a home that can help him build confidence and teach him the ropes of puppy life. Bean loves to snuggle, is quick to bond, and just wants to be close to his people. With a kind, steady hand and lots of love, this sweet, smart boy will grow into the perfect companion.
