Story
Maggie is an energetic young female that is sweet and smart. Maggie was in a rough situation where owner had too many dogs and could not afford vet care. She had a litter of puppies and was a great mom. We got her spayed and updated on vaccinations so she is very much ready for a forever home! Maggie is a perfect size, not too big and not too small. 😊 She loves attention and is very affectionate. Maggie does great w/bigger dogs and would be fine with older children. She is housetrained and does well on a leash.

Story
Adoption Fee: $400, plus tax* Location: Foster Home You know that song "She's a happy, happy dog, she's a happy happy happy dog"? That's our Minnie!! Minnie has the most expressive eyes and is a what we call, compact size! Minnie LOVES her humans. She is very tuned into pleasing her humans and is very attentive to the tone of your voice AND watches her humans closely. She loves her belly rubs and she is friendly to all humans she encounters! She knows the sit command and is very food motivated, aren't we all? She walks well on a leash, sleeps well through the night and does well in a kennel. Minnie loves humans more than other dogs, but she gets along well with other dogs as long as they don't push the boundaries. If her future home has other dogs, Minnie would ideally like to live with older non-dominant dogs. She would thrive in a home with non-dominant dogs or as a single pup. Medical Information on Minnie: Minnie has been diagnosed with four mast cell tumors. A mast cell tumor (MCT) is a type of malignant (cancerous) tumor consisting of mast cells. Mast cell tumors typically form nodules or masses in the skin, but they can also affect other areas of the body, including the spleen, liver, intestine, and bone marrow. MCTs are the most common skin tumor in dogs (7%-21%). Most dogs with MCT (approximately 85%) only develop one tumor. Minnie has had all 4 masses removed! She is healing well and is ready for her new home. CSHS is wanting to be completely transparent with protentional adopters regarding Minnie's medical history. Minnie still has a lot of life to live and deserves a forever home of her own. Continued monitoring of previous or new lumps/bumps with the adopter's regular veterinarian is highly recommended. *Due to Minnie's medical diagnosis her adoption fee has been reduced. If you are interested in meeting Minnie, please fill out an application on the Carver Scott Humane Society website today!

Finn

Labrador Retriever

Male, 7 mos
Chaska, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $670, plus tax Location: Foster Home This adorable 7-month-old pup is ready to find his forever home! He's a bundle of energy who loves to play and explore. Finn is an INCREDIBLY smart dog who thrives off of mental stimulation. He also is very quick at picking up tricks! His current best trick is place, where if you say "Place" he will sprint to his bed and wait patiently for a treat. His future goal is to be one of those dogs that does tricks on shows like "America's Got Talent"! Finn is great with other dogs, and he is still young enough where if slow introductions happen and proper training, he'd be good around cats. Finn would also do best in a home without any young children. If you are interested in meeting Finn, please fill out an adoption application on the Carver Scott Humane Society's website today!

Aero

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 8 mos
Chaska, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $470 + taxes Location: Foster Home Aero is a lively, playful pup with plenty of personality and some seriously impressive moves! He's full of energy and absolutely loves going on walks, making him a great match for an active home. Aero's enthusiasm means he can get a little jumpy, so he'd do best with older kids who can match his playful spirit. He's fantastic with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions. After a while doing slow introductions, he is a cat guy that would do well with a dog savvy cat. Aero is highly food-motivated and responds well to redirection, making him a quick learner and a GREAT snuggler!!! If you're ready to welcome a fun-loving, energetic companion into your life, Aero is the perfect match. If you are interested in meeting Aero, please fill out an application on the Carver Scott website today!

Story
Adoption Fee: $660, plus tax Location: Foster Home Hi there! I'm Maxi, a fluffy and playful German Shepherd mix puppy (aka a small Teddy Bear) looking for my forever home. I'm a total lovebug who loves to follow my foster family around– I'm always eager to be by their side! I'm a quick learner and am already making great progress with potty training. I get excited to go outside and explore, and I love to zoom around the yard after I do my business. At night and when the humans are gone, I do really well in my kennel. If I see you wake up in the morning, I like to let you know I am awake too! I’m so excited to start my day with you! I would make the perfect addition to any family! I love playing with the other dogs in the house and chasing the resident cat (though he seems to prefer his distance!). I'm looking for a loving family who will shower me with affection and adventures. Whether you have other pets or not, I'm sure to bring joy to your home. I'm a sweet and friendly gal who can't wait to find my forever family! If you are interested in meeting Maxi, please fill out an application on the Carver Scott Website today!
