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?

Unfortunately, Hunter 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. 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!

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

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 a very good girl around the house. She is dog friendly and likes to chase and wrestle with other dogs that are a similar size to her or smaller. She is smaller than she appears in pictures, being just slightly taller than a basset hound and weighing only 42 pounds.

She loves to play at the dog park and go for walks, though she needs some work on her leash manners as she wants to go go go and her older, shorter-legged foster sisters don’t walk fast enough.

Now that her puppies are weaned Layla can find a family of her own where she is sure to provide them with lots of love. Layla must wait a few weeks after her puppies are weaned to be spayed, so she can be adopted now with a spay contract.

She is breaking our hearts with how adorable she is. Her mom is 50% basset, 33% Catahoula, 9% Mountain Cur, and 8% Supermutt. Based on DNA testing, her dad is a Beagle/Foxhound mix. Cece is the runt of the litter, but that doesn’t stop her from bossing her siblings around. She has short little legs, a very wrinkly face, and a moderate energy level.

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 NOT a Christmas present. They 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.

Feelin’ good is good enough for him. His mom is 50% basset, 33% Catahoula, 9% Mountain Cur, and 8% Supermutt. Based on DNA testing, his dad is a Beagle/Foxhound mix. Bobby is playful with his litter mates but is often content with his own company. He has longer hair than the rest of his siblings, longer legs, and a moderate energy level.

He is shining here for you and me. His mom is 50% basset, 33% Catahoula, 9% Mountain Cur, and 8% Supermutt. Based on DNA testing, his dad is a Beagle/Foxhound mix. Nando has short legs and is chubby and stout. While initially a wall-flower, he’s become quite the little brawler and enjoys mixing it up with his siblings.

Wouldn’t you love to love her? Her mom is 50% basset, 33% Catahoula, 9% Mountain Cur, and 8% Supermutt. Based on DNA testing, her dad is a Beagle/Foxhound mix. Rhi-Rhi has long dancers legs and is higher energy (think more beagle than basset). She loves to be in your lap, wrestling and cuddling at the same time.

He’s the smallest man in the whole damned town. His mom is 50% basset, 33% Catahoula, 9% Mountain Cur, and 8% Supermutt. Based on DNA testing, his dad is a Beagle/Foxhound mix. Leroy is a shrimpy little dude, but he makes up for it in attitude. He was the second smallest of the litter but has a moderate to high energy, preferring to be in his foster mom’s lap chewing on her ponytail.

We loved you since we knew you. Her mom is 50% basset, 33% Catahoula, 9% Mountain Cur, and 8% Supermutt. Based on DNA testing, her dad is a Beagle/Foxhound mix. Roxy is the biggest of the bunch and has been since birth, both in weight and height. She loves to play and bounce and wrestle, but then she’s ready for a good nap. Her dark black coat is gorgeous and it goes well with her smooshy face.

Roxy #759 is a whole lotta lady to love at around 55 pounds (her weight loss program is working, though!) She needs an accountability partner (ie another dog in her new home) to give her the confidence to get out and greet her adoring public. Like some shy stars, she’s not quite sure how to handle paparazzi, but she’s learning to love what they have to give. Roxy has the makings of being a great cuddle companion, finding the most comfortable dog beds and sharing with her foster siblings. A quiet home with no or older kids would be her ideal landing site. She needs a fenced-in yard, as she’s still a bit unfamiliar with leashes and lines. If you’re looking for someone to stay up late to share cookies and milk as you wait for Santa, Roxy’s your girl. Put her under the tree and she’ll be the gift that keeps on giving.

This stunning red and white lady is 4.5 years old and weighs 44 pounds. Her big brown eyes and loooooong ears are sure to catch your attention.

Bree had a challenging start to life, but is doing her very best to learn everything she can about being a dog. She is a shy but curious girl that will need time in rescue to settle in and learn to trust humans, but has already figured out that beds and ottomans are very comfy. She will walk on a leash if another dog is walking with her, but is still figuring out the purpose of a walk. Due to her being new to lines and leashes and her skittish nature she requires a fenced yard. She LOVES other dogs and find a lot of comfort and support in being around them so her new home requires another friendly, confident, social dog for her to lean on. She enjoys following the other dogs around the yard and cozying up to them on the couch and the bed. She is not quite ready to petted by her humans, but she is very nosy and like to follow them around the house to see what they are doing and will sit on the couch with them and sleep on the bed with them. She would do best in a quieter home with no or older kids.

Otis #762 is a big beefcake who’s 70 pounds of huggable love. He’s 6 years old and a flashy red and white color—if his size doesn’t get him noticed, his spots will! Otis gets along well with everyone and is generally the Best and Very Goodest Boy. He’s a polite leash walker and has gotten along well with every dog he has met. He’s earned the trust of his foster mom to roam the house (although might need some Otis-sized belly bands if his new home has previously marked spots.) He enjoyed his visit to the vet, winning the hearts of the clinic techs with his wonderful personality. Otis may not be a track star, but he’s a full-on hugger and yearns to please people (especially if he gets a snack after.) He’s a good listener and knows all the basic tricks. He requires meds and takes them gently inside a slice of cheese. (Based on his drool patterns, this may be his favorite time of day!) He has a lot to say and is willing to hold intense discussions with his person.

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

Lucy came to MNBR from a breeder after having more than her fair share of litters. She is a sweet, friendly girl that is enjoying this new chapter of her life. She is dog and cat friendly and her foster describes her as a cuddly doof.

We will update her bio as we learn more about her.

Maggie #768 is a red-and-white six-year-old lady basset who weighs in at only 43 pounds. She spent her early days making baby bassets, but now is ready to retire to a life of comfort in a home of her own.

Maggie immediately warmed up to her foster family (as well as the temporary guests who were visiting), which includes dogs, cats, and kids. Having been around “kids” for so long, she’s learning that adult dogs don’t need puppy corrections. But she’s also loving her “me” time, finding particular thrills in squeaky toys that she doesn’t have to share. (All she wants for Christmas is every squeaky toy in the world! Her future family might want to get BarkBox set up now!)

Maggie is crate trained, leash trained, and rides well in the car. She can do stairs and figured out the doggy door right away. She could live in any type of home, as long as her new people spend time snuggling her. Her ears are ridiculously long, giving her a curious forehead wrinkle, and her fur is sweet and soft. Make Maggie’s Christmas her best one ever by bringing her home!

Frankie came to MNBR when her family needed to move and was unable to take her with them. She is a pretty girl and dog friendly.

We will update her bio as we learn more about her.

Buddy was a street dog in Oklahoma that was neutered, vaccinated, and released earlier this year. Unfortunately, or fortunately, for him, he kept visiting the mayor’s dogs so he was asked to leave the area. He is a sweet if reserved little guy that loves dog beds and is dog friendly.

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

Jasper is a handsome ginger boy who is on the smaller side and is dog friendly. He came to MNBR when his family could no longer care for him.
