Success Stories

These beautiful dogs have joined loving families.

Maggie was rescued from neglect after a breeding facility named Country Pride Kennel (now Pine River Stable) in Pine River, MN was raided by the local sheriff. She was relinquished to MNSR and started her new life as a foster dog. She has learned all about the good life from her two foster sisters, Daisy and MNSR alum Cupcake, and her foster brother Jasper. Maggie's foster mom decided that Maggie is home to stay. Maggie enjoys leashed walks in the woods, playing dog games, and hand-targeting for cheese (which she loves!). Adopted 12/25/17. 

Cassie came back to MNSR when her adopters were no longer in a position to be able to care for her. Fortunately we had a past adopter waiting to welcome another wonderful little Sheltie into his heart and his home. Cassie's new dad is committed to her health and plans to walk her daily and give her healthy treats to help maintain the best weight for her well-being. Cassie has already begun to explore her new home, follows dad to go outside and of course at mealtime, and is doing stretchies and wagging her tail! Adopted 12/7/17.

Luna loves being the center of attention and has found the perfect home where she will get all of the attention she deserves.  Luna came into rescue with heartworm disease which was successfully treated so she is now ready for the best years of her life! Adopted 10/25/17.

Tess came from a situation where she and several other dogs were found abandoned in filthy cages. Her coat was so dirty and matted she had to be shaved to the skin. She was extremely shy with humans. She was adopted by a caring couple who allow her to come around at her own pace. She has a great fenced yard where she can explore to her heart's content. Tess is an only dog in her new home but she does have a couple of feline siblings. Her coat has now grown back and she is learning that human affection is a good thing. We know she will continue to blossom.   Adopted 9/27/17.
