Story
Jonathon has lived through more heartbreak than any young dog ever should — yet his spirit remains remarkably intact. After being adopted from Tulsa Animal Services, Jonathon experienced a devastating tragedy when his owner took his own life in front of him. Through no fault of his own, Jonathon’s world shattered in an instant. He was later returned to the shelter, confused and grieving, facing an uncertain future. Many dogs would shut down after such a traumatic loss — but Jonathon didn’t. Instead, he continues to meet the world with gentleness, affection, and a resilience that is nothing short of extraordinary. Behind his story is a goofy, lovable boy whose personality refuses to be dimmed. One of our volunteers affectionately nicknamed him “Beavis,” because she imagines his inner voice sounding just like that iconic, endearing goofball. And honestly? It fits. Jonathon has that same wide-eyed, slightly mischievous, “heh heh… did somebody say snacks?” energy that makes people smile without even trying. He’s the kind of dog who looks at you like, “Heh heh… you’re my human now.” 🐶 About Jonathon • Pit / Lab mix • Approximately 1.5 years old • Neutered • Extremely treat-motivated (heh heh… yes, food) • Active, playful, and eager to learn • Loves interaction, attention, and engagement Jonathon is still very much a young dog, full of life, curiosity, and playful charm. He thrives on connection, enjoys being part of the action, and carries a wonderfully silly streak that shines brighter the more comfortable he becomes. His goofy grin and joyful energy are a beautiful reminder that his past does not define him. What Jonathon deserves now is simple but profound — a stable, loving home where he can feel safe, build trust, and fully embrace the happy, carefree life he has always deserved. Because despite everything he has endured, Jonathon is still very much a “huh huh… life is cool” kind of dog. Jonathon isn’t defined by tragedy. He’s defined by resilience, heart, and the joy he’s just waiting to bring into someone’s life. Jonathon is ready for his forever home. 💛 Jonathon’s adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue’s care. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website. www.northernlakesrescue.org

Story
Robert is a total goof that’s all legs, love, and laughter! This lab mix may seem a little derpy as he’s growing into those long legs of his but he’s actually quite intelligent! Robert catches on to things quickly and has already learned a handful of commands including “sit”, “(lay) down”, “shake”, “spin”, “wait” (used before meals and treats, “ok” to release), and “gentle” when taking treats. He also knows “come” and is working on mastering his recall. He’s working on “stay” and learning that the command “enough” during play means we’re done. He can be quite mouthy when he wants to play, so he’s learning to use his “off switch” when it becomes too much. Robert lives with other dogs (big and small) in his foster home as well as a couple cats and gets along with everybody. He’s a snuggler…and a bed hog! He’ll take up the entire bottom half of the bed all night long and insist he’s the only reason your feet are warm! Robert is crate trained and knows what “kennel up” means. He’s (mostly) house trained and will stand by the door when he needs to go out if you catch his cue in time. Like your typical lab, he loves water and playing fetch! Robert has the best puppy dog eyes and truly wants to please his humans. He’s going to make someone very lucky! Robert’s adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue’s care. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are.

Story
Dallas is here to say, `This town is big enough for the both of us, and big enough for anyone else who wants to be my friend.` This cowboy is a 7-year-old, 59-pound Lab mix who came to our shelter as a stray. We think at one time he must have had a family because he`s very well-behaved. He knows all of his basic commands, rarely has accidents, and loves other dogs. He`s a friendly, chill, and gentle boy!Dallas is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. You can visit him at the shelter Tuesdays through Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM or Sundays from 12:00 to 5:00 PM.
