Tilly is the life of the party who isn’t afraid to speak up (especially if she thinks she might miss out on a meal!)

Tilly loves sunbathing, especially when belly scritches are included and she gets so into it that she gets stuck on her back like a turtle! She has stiffened up a bit with age so a full flight of stairs would be challenging for her. She is accustomed to having someone home with her most of the time and will initially protest when left alone, so shared walls aren't recommended.

Tilly is on a prescription diet for urinary issues. It’s working great for her, but she also needs to have her lady bits wiped regularly to help keep her clean and keep away infections.

Nothing is sweeter than Hersey’s kisses! Hersey #704 is a 4-year-old brown-and-white male who weighs around 60 pounds. And look at his unique face! His foster home says his unusual leg/body/head combination—fresh from the factory of misfit dog parts—is a real conversation starter! Hershey takes a hot second to get accustomed to his new surroundings, but once he does he bonds HARD and has unlimited patience for his humans, both big and small. He needs a little time to warm up to bigger dogs but has become great friends with the large Shepherd mix in his foster home, and is completely smitten with the little dog that comes to visit. Hershey loves a brief walk and sticks next to his exercise partner (unless a squirrel crosses their path!) Based on his squirrel reaction, he’d do best in a fenced-in yard for his own safety. He’s less into people parties or dog parks and would prefer a low-activity home full of cuddles and companionship with familiar folks. He loves his crate and is fine hanging out on his own when his humans are away. He’s housetrained and fine with cats. If you’re looking for a funny friend to keep you company, Hershey’s your guy.

Unfortunately, Hershey has tested positive for heartworm. He is looking for a foster to adopt home that will allow him to live with them while MNBR covers the cost of his heartworm treatment, then adopt him once he is heartworm free. His home must be willing to come to the Twin Cities once a month for two months for treatment.

Wesley #707 is the prince you’ve been waiting for. He’s a four-year-old red and white male basset who had a ruff life before making the trek here from Oklahoma. He was underweight and is positive for heartworm, but is loving his new life of social calls, treats, attention, and the slow life. He’s very bright and is polite and respectful of people, cats, and new friends. Currently Wesley weighs around 54 pounds, although he has some more filling out to do. He’s very much a fun-loving, adorable puppy inside a mature body with a mature brain. (The full package here!) He figured out his foster home’s dog door the first day he was there, and is housetrained with the full trust of his foster humans while they’re away.

Buttercup made the long trip from OK to MN and can't be more thriled to be here, or just thrilled in general! She loves everyone and is happy to roll over for a belly rub at the slightest provocation. She is dog and cat friendly and as sweet as cherry pie.

We will update her bio as we get to know more about her.

Hunter #737 is a handsome tricolor boy who weighs in at 46 pounds of future family dog. He’s got a great smile and a killer wag and he’s dying to share it with someone.

Hunter’s great with kids and co-exists with cats. He’s learning boundaries with other dogs but is willing to learn how to be part of a pack as long as they’re patient and let him fit in at his own pace. He’s an exuberant walker and needs to learn that skijoring isn’t the sport most people want to excel in.

He’s crated a few hours each day, can tackle stairs with no problem, and is a champion snorer. He’d do well in any type of home as long as they can offer him consistency. Hunter’s a fan of the dog park, fun toys, and investigating kitchen counters to make sure no food is going to waste. Who has a hug for Hunter?

MNBR has clinics in MN, IA, and ND that adopters can use for treatment.

Marjorie #744 traveled from Arkansas to Minnesota because she heard she and her puppies could find a better life here. She’s a 28 pound tricolor beagle who’s around 3 years old.

Marjorie could be an only dog and doesn’t mind being alone. She’s content to keep to herself and make her own fun, although she doesn’t mind a quiet hound companion. She’d be fine on a tie-out or with someone who likes to take walks (especially if they end with a shared sandwich). She’s housetrained and her foster family trusts her out while they’re gone.

This sweet girl is still learning some life lessons—like what loud noises are and how to play with toys. She’s shy but that doesn’t mean she’s not up for a snuggle and a snack! Show Marjorie some love!

Hallie #745 is an Arkansas transplant, and at just 4 months old (and a tiny 14 pounds!), she’s ready to experience life outside a shelter and see her first snowfall.

This little beagle mix is enjoying her freedom and would love a fenced-in backyard or a frequent visitor to a dog park so she can stretch her little legs. She’s a fast learner and leashes and potty training have been no problem. She’s learning to love the crate, but after spending most of her life at a shelter, that’s understandable, and as long as she knows people are nearby, she’s fine. Loud noses are still a bit shocking as well. But think about all the fun new things you can show Hallie!

If you haven’t fallen for that face, she’d also like you to know that she’s a huge peanut butter fan and play follow-the leader. She also likes to show off her favorite trick—sitting up like she’s in the circus!

MNBR does not spay/neuter puppies until six months of age. Intact puppies under 6 months old must be adopted in MN or within 250 miles of St. Paul in WI, IA, ND, or SD and with a spay/neuter contract.

Puppies are A LOT of work and a 12+ year commitment, so make sure you have thought it through and are fully ready for the responsibility prior to applying.

Layla, a beautiful young hound mix, joined MNBR from a kill shelter in Arkansas. On 10/30 she gave birth to 8 beautiful little puppies.

For all she’s been through, Layla is incredibly sweet, trusting, and loving. Every time she sees a new human her whole body wiggles in absolute joy. She is affectionate without being overly clingy and generally submissive, though she has moments of silly sassiness that we hope to see more of. She is dog friendly and shows interest in play when she’s on break from her babies.

Once her puppies are weaned are her milk has dried up Layla can find a family of her own where she is sure to provide them with lots of love.

Charlie is a feisty 4 month old tricolor basset hound male that weighs around 25-30 pounds.

He is a sweet, active little guy that enjoys cuddling and playing.

We will update his bio as we learn more about him.
