Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Abel is affectionate, playful, smart, and obedient. He's also house-trained and a loyal companion who loves to cuddle, especially with his head on your lap, and is always ready for belly rubs. Abel enjoys a solid 10 hours of sleep, as long as you’re right there sleeping, too. He settles beautifully after a 5-10 minute romp with a ball or frisbee, a game of hide-and-seek, or a nice walk filled with plenty of sniffing and marking. And while he might pull a bit (okay, maybe a lot) on his walks, he’s well-mannered in the home. He even knows a few tricks and performs with or without treats! You can trust Abel to be calm and content when left out of his kennel for several hours—his longest solo time was seven hours, and he simply rested and kept watch for any "dangerous" Amazon trucks. Abel would love a home without kids or other animals, where he can relax without being disturbed during meals. He’s independent about his space and prefers not to be poked or prodded. When grandkids or visitors are over, he happily hangs out in the bedroom if needed. Truly, Abel is an easygoing guy who’s ready to bring so much love to the right home. He has a few quirks, but don’t we all?   Abel does take an oral medication twice a day to help prevent seizures.    Abel is from an owner surrender.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Halo, a pup with a heart full of love and a playful spirit! This sweet boy is crate trained, rides well in the car and enjoys playing with other dogs. Halo is a typical goofy puppy, who loves to cuddle, often falling asleep in the silliest positions. Although he can be a bit shy at first, he warms up and shows his playful side. Small children do make him nervous, so a home with no littles would be best. Halo would thrive in a quiet home, especially with another playful dog to keep him company. Born in rescue with his brother Cosmo, he may look like a Labrador Retriever, but his Cocker Spaniel roots shine through in his personality. Check out the image of his DNA test if you don't believe it! If you’re looking for a loving, goofy companion, Halo might just be the perfect fit for you!   Halo is from Texas.  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. Hi my name is Rusty Briggs. I am a certified very good boy. I am a pretty mellow guy and love the company of other dogs. I have done well with a wide variety of canine friends and can play a great game of chase and wrestle. I am also content to just coexist. I kennel nicely, but also do well in a room by myself. I love attention. I do have a very sensitive side and can find loud noises and sudden movements a bit scary. I tend to pout when I am anxious. I really want to please people and have the most adorable underbite when I am thinking about things. Come and meet me today! Rusty Briggs is from a local impound.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Six-year-old sleek handsome guy with four legs seeks human companion. For LIFE. Looking for a serious, committed relationship. I’ve had buddies and other platonic relationships, but I’m looking for the real deal, a committed BFF. I’m a direct communicator. I’m a foodie. I like dogs that don’t pester me. I chase cats. I’m a total catch. Love, Stone.  I’m a German Shepherd mix that came up from Texas in 2021 to seek out head pets and snuggles. Minnesota sure has some good ones! I was adopted in 2022 but sadly my humans were having a hard time and I had to move out, so I’m looking for a new start. I am super loyal and want to be your true best friend. I love to sniff around, and my sharp sense of smell keeps me interested in lots of things. I pride myself in the ability to protect your yard and garden from pesky critters. I love people, get along with chill dogs, and have a ton of love to give. I recently got certified in “Lap Dog” skills.  I was crate-trained in my past life, but it’s not my favorite place (unless you're in there with me) so I don’t go in there often unless it’s to nap with the door open. In my downtime, I’m a great coworker and nap buddy and love to snuggle close to you. I also respect your space (and your shoes) and leave everything in its place when you’re gone.  I have a lot of energy at times,but can also just chill when you want to. My human gives me anxiety medication as well, and that helps me a lot, especially with these recent changes. I love to learn and will do almost anything for treats. They’re my favorite!  What do you say? Am I your new BFF adventure buddy? Stone is from Texas. 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 Buster!  Buster has shown remarkable courage. He actively seeks attention and has been brave when meeting new people and dogs. He enthusiastically greets people he knows! His playful side is starting to shine through. He adores Nylabones, wiggles with excitement, and his ears are the cutest! He’s fantastic with kiddos and would thrive in a home with another furry friend.  He looks to another dog for confidence and is super playful!  In his kennel, he’s quite the calm pup, and he’s making great progress with potty training. His favorite place is on the bed, snuggled in all the pillows-it is SO cute! He’s eager to learn some basic obedience commands, and once he gets to know you, he’s a true Velcro dog—always by your side! He just needs a little time to warm up when meeting new people to ensure they’re kind. With some patience and love, he’ll make a wonderful addition to any family! Buster is becoming stronger each day, and with his loving personality, he’s ready to find his forever home where he can continue to grow and thrive. He is a really easy dog! Could you be the one to give him the love and care he deserves? Buster is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
