Success Stories
These beautiful dogs have joined loving families.
 Emma was very fearful of humans when she came to MNSR from a southern breeder. Emma's foster mom helped her come around, slowly at first but in leaps and bounds in the last few months as Emma discovered how much fun a dog could have, and how much love a human could give her, and how good it all can be! Emma has now moved to her forever home with a couple who will give her lots of love and attention and continue to help her blossom. She also has two older Sheltie brothers who will help her continue to gain confidence. She's already joining the family to watch TV in the living room and she's pretty excited to go out with the 'boys' in their big safe back yard.
It wook Emma a full year to be ready to find her home but it was well worth the wait! Emma came in to rescue on January 28, 2017 - and was adopted January 27, 2018!

 Nigel came to MNSR when his elderly owner could no longer care for him. Sir Nigel, as he is now called, is being treated like royalty and has adjusted to life in his new home quickly. He loves his daily walks with mom and dad and is starting to wag his tail when he gets the attention he so deserves. Adopted January 5, 2018. |
 Rescued from a hoarding situation Henri (was Tyler) spent over a year in foster homes learning how to be a dog and to trust people. He went from having to be carried outside to being the first dog out the door and now loves to be outside. He takes his time warming up to people and still has his safe spots but welcomed petting and treats from his new family when they came to meet him. They fell in love with his big brown eyes and his gentle soul. In addition to a mom and dad with lots of experience with shy Shelties, he has two new Sheltie brothers, Sammi and Willi, who will help him feel comfortable in his new home. Welcome home, little buddy! Adopted December 30, 2017. |
 Rocket (fka James) partied with his new family on New Year's Eve! They include two little humans, a Great Dane sister, and two feline siblings. Rocket is settling in nicely and is working on his manners every day. His housetraining is going well and he sits and waits at the door before getting the ok to go out the door. Rocket likes to zoom around the yard and he and his canine sister wear each other out. Rocket gathers all his toys at the end of the day for his pre-bedtime siesta. Rocket and his family are already signed up for basic obedience! Adopted 12/29/17. |
