Story
Hey! My name is Ruby! I found my way into the Humane Society as an owner surrender. There were other dogs in my previous home and I just didn't like them! I am on some medicine for anxiety and I don't like to be alone for all that long so a home where my family isn't gone for long periods of time would be ideal for me! I am a very sweet girl but I do need to find a home where there aren't any other animals because I just don't like them at all! I like to soak up all of the attention and just be the queen bee! I am not a fan of small children and I would do best in a home with older or no children. I am very smart and I have learned how to bust out of my kennel so I can roam free! I would like to meet you to see if we would get along. I really am a sweet girl and I am looking for my perfect forever home! *I qualify for the senior for senior discount*

Story
Hello! I'm Charlie! I was surrendered back to the shelter because sadly my previous family had to move due to health and I couldn't go with them. I am very curious about new things and I will check them out! I do like to go for walks but I get really excited and I will pull on my leash! I ride very well in the car! I will sit and look out the window or lay down and take a nap until we get to where we are going! I seem to want to play with other dogs but in my previous home I was the only pet. I would do just fine with children who play nice with me and I would need supervision with any cats in my new home to be sure that I could get along with them. I love to be where you are so I can lie down at your feet and nap until you get up to do something then I will follow you!! I am a gentle boy looking for a new place to rest my paws. Come in and get to know me better! I am sure that we are going to get along just fine!

Story
Sully is a wonderful boy who does well with all people, cats, and dogs!! We believe Sully spent around 6 months living on his own outdoors in Becker County. The neighborhood he hung around in was very caring, and made sure he was well fed. One morning Sully walked into one of their barns, and they were finally able to secure him. Unsure of where to bring him they called Marshmallow, and without hesitation we accepted! Without our supporters, we would not have been able to take him in! Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after an application has been submitted online: Adoption Application: http://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/info/adoption Volunteer Application: http://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/info/display Donate: http://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/info/display?PageID=16147

Hi! My name is Layla! I was transferred into the shelter from Turtle Mountain Rescue. I am a very sweet girl and I want to be where all of the action is! I love, love, love to go for rides in the car, so if you're looking for a buddy to run errands with you've found me!! I am a queen bee so I'm looking for a home where there aren't any other animals around at all to steal my thunder! I am not a fan of the activity of young children and would be looking for a home where there aren't any small kids around. I am not all that into toys but I would like to have some to kick around if the mood strikes me! I am a very intelligent dog and I could show you a trick or two! I would like to find my furrever family! If you are looking for a nice calm girl who wants you all to herself come in and meet me! I am so ready to wake up in my very own bed in my very own home!

Story
Hey! My name is Rosey! I was surrendered to the shelter as my previous family had to move and sadly I could not go with. I am a very bouncy happy girl! I am not shy at all and I am very vocal! I seem to be just fine with other dogs, I could get along with children that play nice with me, and if I have some time to get used to the idea I could be furriends with a cat too! I am a little bit on the heavy side so I am on a diet to return to a healthy weight. I will need a family that will take me out for some long walks even if I say I'm not in the mood! I would like to have a bed that I can call my own. I don't mind having toys around but I am not all that into them! I am looking for a new place to rest my paws. I am a very sweet girl and I am sure that we are going to be best friends furrever!
