Story
Acer was born July 2018. We've had him since Feb 2019. He wants to be fully included with a family. If your lazy he will b. If your active he will be. He rarely ever barks. He does wish to be a lap dog. He wishes to play hard with another dog and will chase Cats. Hes been around many little children and teens and likes all their company. He loves to wrestle adults. Perfect behavior for car rides. We got him for an outdoor companion dog but that dog is gone and he refuses to stay outside. Indoors is not an option due to our older child's allergy so its regretful that we cannot give him what he deserves. He is beautiful and sweet and deserves a family that will care to him as much as he does to us!

Story
Rosabeth is a little over 3 years old. Her 'puppy' name is Rosie - you can call her this to be accepted into her heart as a 'good' human. A very important thing to know about Rosie is that she has some serious separation anxiety, so she needs an owner who is able to spend a lot of time with her, preferably someone who knows how to really help with separation anxiety and teach her how to deal with it in a healthy way. She loves her humans very much and will always snuggle and protect someone who will do the same for her. She is very emotional and understands human emotions. She has a lot of energy and loves to play, but can be kind of oblivious, so keep her away from anything breakable! She loves kitties and children but may need to be reminded to respect personal boundaries and to be gentle when playing, which she responds well to. She likes dogs too, but upon first meeting a stranger doggy, she may become nervous or very protective of her humans, so be cautious.

Story
Riley is a 4 year old Husky. We rescued him from the Coon Rapids Humane Society, and we have had him for 2 years. Riley will need someone who is patient and willing to work him with, as he can be a little tough. He is a sweet boy once you get to know him. We love him more than anything, and we have come to the realization we can't give him what he needs anymore. This is really hard for us to do, but we know there is another person out there who is absolutely perfect for him!

Story
Introducing Molly and Biggie. They were born June 8 2018. Molly is the white and black one, she is lab mixed with springer. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. She loves tennis balls and enjoys chewing on bones. Siren noise scares her and she will howl. She can jump a 6 foot fence. Biggie is the black one and she is lab mixed with springer. She loves to cuddle. Loves bones and tennis balls. She knows how to open screen doors and cupboards. Very smart. I need them to stay together as they are sisters and never been apart from eachother. They sleep in a crate together at night. They are crate trained. They go potty on a training pad and outdoors. They love to run so if you have acres or a fenced in yard would be best.

Story
MEET BRISTOL! We were told he's a husky/greyhound mix, though whatever he it's all sweetness! In word, Bristol is perfect. He gets along with dogs and kids and warms up to strangers once he sees them a time or two. (We don't know how he is with cats, though, as we don't have any history). Bristol is a petite, quiet guy -- he's dabbles with toys (food puzzle treats are a particular favorite!)  and occasionally will be down for a tug of the rope or fetch with tennis balls. He loves a good walk and car rides are no sweat (he'll just lay down in the back and snooze for the trip), he can do stairs and he holds his potty like a champ. In fact, we think he'll do well in a variety of households. Is he just too good to be true? Not at all! His foster says there's really nothing that's a challenge with him: "He is pretty much perfect in my opinion. He is quiet, rides well, house trained, gets along well and is super sweet. There is nothing not to like." Plus, he has the funniest expressions and cutest butt wiggle. Trust us, you NEED this polite fella in your life. If you're interested in adopting him, fill out an application -- link below!  BRISTOL, 7, husky/greyhound People-friendly: Yes! Dogs: Yes! Cats: Unknown Crate trained: Not a huge fan of crates Potty trained: Yes Special skills: Being the bestest boi and flashing his bestest boi smile! Our adoption fee is $225. Discount available for seniors (65+) and veterans. Adoption fees help pay for the dog's veterinary exam, vaccinations (rabies, distemper and bordetella), HW test, blood panel, a microchip and spay/neuter if needed and additional health needs specific to each animal.
