3. Mariah
Welcome to the ReLeashed Rescue family, Mariah.
Some stories are hard to understand, and Mariah’s is one of them.
This beautiful girl was found abandoned inside a home after her owners moved away, left behind to fend for herself. She is severely emaciated and has a long road ahead before her body can heal.
But what amazes me most isn’t what she’s been through—it’s who she still chooses to be.
Despite everything, Mariah still loves people. She greets us with a gentle heart, a wagging tail, and so much hope. I honestly don’t know how a dog who has experienced so much neglect can still be so incredibly sweet, but that’s exactly who she is.
Read more about Mariah
We estimate Mariah is around 2 years old. Sadly, she’s already been used to have puppies, and she also tested heartworm positive. Those chapters of her life are over now.
From this day forward, our promise to Mariah is simple: she will never be forgotten again.
Right now, our priority is getting weight back on her and helping her become healthy enough for the care she needs. Once she’s strong enough, she’ll be spayed and begin heartworm treatment. Then we’ll help her find the forever family she has always deserved.
If you’d like to be part of Mariah’s journey, donations toward her medical care and recovery are greatly appreciated. Every dollar helps us give this sweet girl the fresh start she’s waited far too long for.
Welcome to your new chapter, sweet Mariah. Your happy ever after starts today.

5. Biggie Smalls
Meet Biggie Smalls
This sweet, oversized gentleman is nothing but a giant love bug and cuddle champion. At over 100 pounds, Biggie has an even bigger heart. Sadly, he has experienced abandonment twice that we know of, which means he truly understands the meaning of loyalty and what it feels like to have your heart broken.
Biggie was originally found as a stray in Texas and brought to Georgia, only to be abandoned again two years later. He eventually found himself at animal control, where ReLeashed Rescue stepped in and promised him that his story wasn’t over.
Here’s what we’ve learned about this handsome boy so far:
Read more about Biggie Smalls
Stage 5 Clinger. But honestly, who could blame him? After being left behind twice, new surroundings can make him nervous. Once he realizes he’s safe, his true personality shines.
He loves to be close. Biggie is happiest when he’s touching his person. When he decides to trust you, he falls completely and wholeheartedly in love.
Laid-back and cuddly. This boy would be perfectly content spending his days snuggled on the couch, binge-watching TV, and soaking up all the love.
Crate trained and potty trained.
Heartworm positive, but treatment has already been completed.
Would thrive as an only dog. Biggie wouldn’t mind all the Love to himself, and he deserves it!
No cats, please.
If you’re searching for a faithful, devoted companion who will love you with his whole heart, Biggie Smalls is your guy.
But there’s just one thing we ask…
When you adopt Biggie, you must mean forever.
Because this sweet soul has already endured more heartbreak than any dog should ever have to experience, and we don’t think he could survive losing his family again.
Somewhere out there is the person Biggie has been waiting for. Could that be you?

Meet Jack Lemmon! This adorable, sweet, and affectionate rat terrier mix is about 5 years old and weighs 14 pounds.
Jack and his doggy sibling became Angels after their original owners were no longer able to care for them. Both pups are now safe in foster homes while they wait for their next furever homes.

10. Whisper Wren
Whisper Wren is true to her name - a tiny, sweet shadow who rarely barks and just loves to be close.
At 10 pounds, this 3-year-old terrier mix is the perfect size for lap sitting, couch cuddling, and carrying her favorite toys around the house. She is house trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and is a quiet companion who is happy to just be with her person.
Whisper is looking for a home where she can be your one-and-only. She adores having your full attention and can get jealous of other dogs, so she would likely do best as the only dog in the home.
Read more about Whisper Wren
*Ideal home: Whisper would thrive with someone who wants a devoted best friend and can give her a little space around meals. Like many little dogs who love their people hard, she can be a little protective of her food and treats.
If you're looking for a quiet, affectionate, loyal lap dog to be your constant companion, Whisper Wren is ready to be your girl.

11. Marie Osmond
Say hello to sweet Marie Osmond. She is a 7 pound, 4 - 6 year old, long haired chihuahua. Marie is house and crate trained. She is an absolute cuddle bug with off the charts cuteness. Between her wiggle butt and underbite, Marie invokes numerous smiles.
Marie is good with other dogs and kids. She is also good on a leash and enjoys walks. She loves to be held and if you have an available lap, she will be in it.
Since Marie is so tiny, she would probably do best in a quieter home with no or older children.

Pancho is working on his potty-training and basic manners, he's looking for a patient and loving family to help him on his journey to being his best self.

Are you ready for some Doxie soft ears and cute little bunny hops? Luna Villa is your girl! Luna is around 5 years old and is happy to say that Angels took care of making sure she doesn't have to do the Momma job ever again! She's working on trimming up her figure just a smidge but is healthy at 11 pounds.
Read more about Luna Villa
Luna loves to be around people and is friendly with dogs, though she shows a little too much interest in kitties. She's working on learning her manners and potty-training, and would do best in an environment where she can be let out fairly frequently. She loves to get outside and take short walks and play with toys! Could you be the family she's been dreaming of? Apply and we can take a walk together to find out!

15. Barnaby Button
Are you my new family? Foster mommy says I'm getting a new home, but I need to be patient until she finds me the very best one! I'm so excited!!!
Let me tell you a little about myself, just to speed the process along.
Here are the facts about this cute as a li'l button boy!
* 7-8 years old
* 11 pound male
* House trained
* Walks well on leash (but barks at other dogs)
* Crate? Not a fan but will calm down eventually
* Good with other dogs (cats unknown)
Read more about Barnaby Button
Somehow I ended up in a local shelter. I remember my story, but since my rescue, I'm loving life! I got my teeth cleaned and was all checked out. I love to eat and am motivated by FOOD! Treats please! And I ADORE tummy rubs and snuggles. Car rides are fun too; I like the window cracked so i can use my smell-o-vision.
I'm basically a quiet dog (ssshhh) unless someone's walking outside, then I think I'm a huge, fierce protector. I'm pretty low energy (aka couch potato) and am a loyal shadow, neither demanding nor destructive. I follow my foster mom everywhere and sleep deeply on a comfy bed at night. I dream of my furever home.
I give my heart fully and completely. I can be a bit skittish with quick movements, so may not be best with small children, but on the plus side, I don't shed too much even though I've got lots of long gorgeous hair.

Meet Slinky Dog - An Extremely Cute Chiweenie!
Slinky Dog is about 3 years old and around 10 pounds of love. Slinky is potty trained and is good with people and dogs. Cats are an unknown, but he would probably be just fine.
He is good on a leash, loves his toys, and is always happy to be out and about. Slinky Dog is not fond of the crate, but that’s ok because he is not destructive and does fine in the house when left alone. He does like to announce if he hears a door or a new noise, but settles quick. He is a gem of a dog!

17. Maryland
Meet Maryland: 11 Pounds of Charm, Cuddles & a Few Opinions
Maryland is a 5-year-old, 11-pound, Shih Tzu with a sweet, laid-back personality, a little sass, and some very reasonable expectations for her forever home.
Personal space? Overrated. Maryland loves being close to her people and would happily spend her days as your little shadow. Working from home? Retired? Perfect! She's looking for someone who enjoys having a constant companion. She also appreciates the company of another dog friend when her humans are busy.
Read more about Maryland
Exercise? Maryland loves exploring a fenced backyard, playing with her toys, and taking short, leisurely walks where she can stop and investigate all the neighborhood gossip. If you're looking for someone to help you rack up miles at record speed, you'll need to find a buddy with longer legs.
House training? Maryland does best with regular potty breaks and a consistent schedule. She's looking for someone patient who understands that a lady appreciates a predictable routine.
Crates? No, thank you. Maryland prefers the company of her people or a canine companion over spending time alone in a crate. She's much more interested in being part of the family than watching life happen from the sidelines.
Maryland isn't looking for a particularly exciting life. Just a cozy home, a little playtime, a yard to explore, and someone who doesn't mind having an adorable 11-pound shadow.
In return, she'll offer plenty of love, companionship, and just enough personality to keep you smiling.
Applications are now being accepted. Maryland will be reviewing them from foster mom's pillow.

18. Emilie Ann
Emilie Ann is an adorable young Chihuahua mix with long, graceful legs and a playful spirit. At just 17 pounds and an estimated 8–12 months old, she is nearly full grown. When she runs, she looks like a little fawn! Her short black coat, adorable gray socks on her front paws, and constantly wagging tail make her absolutely irresistible.
Emilie Ann LOVES other dogs, especially those her own size! She has a sweet, gentle way of approaching them and inviting them to play. She would be happiest in a home with another small, friendly dog who could become her playmate and companion.
Read more about Emilie Ann
When Emilie Ann first arrived at her foster home, she was very shy and unsure of her surroundings. With time, patience, and love, she has blossomed into a much more confident little girl. Now, she happily follows her foster mom around the house, wagging her tail, and even asks for pets. When she's feeling comfortable, she'll flop onto the floor, roll over, and invite you to give her belly rubs! She also loves picking up her toys and carrying them around the house.
Emilie Ann is already doing well with her crate. She sleeps quietly in it at night and is comfortable staying there when her foster mom leaves the house.
This sweet girl is looking for a loving home where she can continue to build her confidence and blossom. A home with another small, friendly dog would be ideal. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she trusts you, you'll have a devoted, affectionate companion with a tail that never stops wagging!

19. Pollyana
Meet Pollyana!
Looking for a little shadow with soft curls and a big devotion to her person? This six-year-old, 10-pound poodle-type girl takes her role as your constant companion seriously. Wherever you’re headed—even just to the next room—she’d love to come along!
She is a true Velcro dog who bonds closely with her favorite human, but she’s willing to accept a trusted “backup human” when her first choice isn’t available. Being close to someone she loves is her happy place.
Read more about Pollyana
She would prefer to have her person’s attention all to herself. She does complain when other dogs get too close to her human, although her canine housemates don’t always take her objections seriously. A home where she can be the only dog would likely be her happiest fit.
She is mostly house-trained and will need patience and a consistent potty routine as she settles in. Because she can snap when startled, she needs a calm home with adults only or older, dog-savvy children who understand how to respect her space and approach her gently.
If your idea of a perfect companion is a little dog who thinks everyday life is better together, this curly-haired girl might be your match.

Don't let his tough-guy name fool you! Bullet is a 10-year-old, 6-pound, black
Chihuahua who is nothing but a little love bug! This sweet boy loves snuggling in your lap, sleeping in your bed, and soaking up all the attention he can get.
Bullet does have a little Chihuahua sass and may grumble if another dog bothers him while he's resting. He'd do best in a home without very young children, where he can enjoy his peace and quiet.
Bullet is in pretty good health and will be getting a dental and neuter soon. All this little guy wants is a warm lap, a cozy bed, and someone to love him for the rest of his days!

Each dog chosen for the program undergoes extensive temperament testing to determine their suitability for the program. Under the supervision of volunteer professional trainers and assistants, the dogs and their handlers spend eight weeks learning basic obedience. Equally important, the dogs are socialized around a variety of people and other dogs during this period. Canine CellMates’ dogs are available for adoption immediately and will be able to go to their forever homes after graduation. Canine CellMates will carefully screen all adoption applications to ensure the right match between dog and person. Like all dogs adopted from FCAS, the Canine CellMates graduates are fully va
Adopting a dog in Duluth
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
