Read more about Roscoe Lee

From the Foster Family: Roscoe Lee recently joined us from Alabama. He is a sweet, playful boy who loves attention. He enjoys being outside playing with other dogs and children. It does take him a little bit and lots of sniffing to get comfortable with other dogs, but once he knows it’s okay, he loves to play. He would do great with a yard and with a family who love doing outdoor activities. Roscoe Lee is crate-trained and will go in when told but does get nervous when left alone for too long. He enjoys being with his foster family and being close to them.

About Me: Hi! My name is Roscoe Lee. I'm a sweet boy who recently traveled all the way from Alabama. I get excited when I am meeting new people and am currently working on not jumping up when I am excited. I love to play outside, go for car rides, and go for walks. I am still learning not to pull on my leash, but I just get too excited by everything around me. I prefer to be around my humans and get nervous when I am left alone for too long. I am looking for someone who will love me and give me all the attention in the world. Could I be the one for you?

Read more about Tankian

If you are looking for a story of incredible resilience wrapped up in a joyful, bob-tailed package,Tankian is your guy! This young pup made the big trek all the way from Mississippi to Minnesota after being found abandoned and living outdoors. While he was initially slow to trust—a gentle reminder of a past that wasn't very kind—Tankian has completely transformed into a sunbeam of pure happiness. He keeps us smiling every day with his goofy enthusiasm, his constant hunt for the ultimate chew toy, and his nearly perfected potty training skills. Tankian absolutely adores having other dog pals to wrestle with, and his unique little tail wiggles at top speed whenever he’s happy (which is almost always!) He is also very respectful of cats and spends his days watching the two in his foster house play. He has left his tough past behind and is completely ready to shower his forever family with unconditional devotion. When he trusts you enough to jump up and lay his head on you your heart will melt.

From Tankian’s Perspective

"Hey! I’m Tankian and I rocking a beautiful multi colored coat, and officially retired from the outdoor rough-ing it life! I traded the Mississippi humidity for Minnesota's four seasons? 10/10 upgrade. I used to be pretty suspicious of people (turns out my early life wasn't great), but once I realized humans come with treats, cozy dog beds, and belly rubs, I was ALL in. My daily routine includes: smiling continuously, practicing my 'almost perfect' house training, searching for high-quality chew toys to inspect, and begging any dog in a five-mile radius to be my new best friend. I’ve got a huge heart, zero grudges, and a world-class bob tail wiggle. So, who’s ready to adopt a reformed southern gentleman with a top-tier smile?"

Meet Lenni!

Read more about Lenni

Lenni is a sweet, gentle girl who just needs a little time to warm up to new people and surroundings. When she first arrives somewhere new, she can be a bit timid and reserved, but give her a few days, a little routine, and some reassurance, and she'll start showing you just how wonderful she is.

We've watched her confidence grow so much in the short time she's been with us. She now happily ventures around the house, enjoys time outside, goes on walks, and greets her favorite people with the happiest little tail wags!

Once she's comfortable, Lenni loves being with her people, chewing on toys, playing outside, going for walks, getting treats, snuggling, and taking cozy naps. She's a pretty low-key girl who enjoys the simple things in life.

She's also incredibly gentle and sweet with our school-aged children. She's been a wonderful houseguest, with no accidents in the house, and does well both on her own and in her crate.

Lenni is still getting comfortable with new people and experiences, so she'll appreciate a family who gives her a little grace and lets her settle in at her own pace. But don't mistake her initial shyness for a dog who takes forever to warm up. Once she has a few days to get her bearings and figure out her new people, her sweet personality really starts to shine.

We're looking for someone who will appreciate this gentle soul and give her the safe, loving home she deserves. In return, you'll get a sweet companion who is happy just being near her people and sharing life's little moments.

Lenni is ready for her fresh start and her forever family!

About Me:

Hi! I'm Lenni! I'm a sweet, gentle girl, and I'm looking for my forever family!

I'm a little shy when I first meet people or find myself somewhere new. I just need a few days to get comfortable, figure out my surroundings, and learn who my people are. But once I settle in, my personality really starts to shine, and you'll see just how happy I am to be part of your family!

I'm also very gentle with school-aged kids! I'm pretty easygoing around the house and I just love to be where the people are chewing on my favorite toy.

I'm not a high-maintenance kind of girl. I don't need much to be happy: just a safe home, a little patience while I get settled, some toys, and people to love.

If you're looking for a loving companion who will happily become your little shadow once she knows she's home, I'm your girl!

I’m learning new things every day and doing really well with my potty training and crate. Treats and encouragement help me learn quickly!

I may need a little time to warm up, but I have so much love to give and can’t wait to find a family of my own!

She also had a severely infected uterus that was removed in an emergency surgery at her intake appointment.

She follows her foster mom around like a shadow getting all the head and belly scratches she can get.

Paula from Paullina is a 4-5 year old female mix. Her story before two weeks ago is unknown, but it’s likely she was dumped. Since being picked up by the police she has been in the care of a foster home and has found a new outlook on life.

She has an old leg break that and now healed cause a bit of a limp.

She also had a severely infected uterus that has been removed.

She follows her foster mom around like a shadow getting all the head and belly scratches she can get.

She is currently in a home with other dogs, but does get territorial with food (normal after being dumped or not having consistent access to resources)

She also prefers to be her persons only pet. So a home as an only dog would be wonderful. We can test her with cats if there is a cat friendly home looking for an easy going doggie.

She is house trained, crate trained, and knows sit, shake, lay down.

Read more about Shelby

This cutie patootie is Shelby! She and her stout brother (clearly not biological!) Scooby love each other and have so much fun playing together that we are looking for a new forever home that is ready and capable of welcoming them both! Scooby is about 5 years old, very outgoing and energetic. Seems to love everyone and everything but can be a bit of an escape artist (he's naughty like that!) so a fenced yard is best! But the cool thing is that Shelby adores being outside a lot so a fenced yard for her to run and play and then lounge and sunbathe would be ideal indeed! Shelby is about 15 months and a sweet super silly girl that loves people, other dogs and cats. They will be a fantastic duo for the right home. Their mom loved them very much so we are doing our best to get them a wonderful home where they can be happy, safe and loved. Both dogs are fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. Please keep in mind that Shelby will need to have a regular grooming routine. Their combined adoption fee is $500.00

Read more about Atlas

Are you a true husky lover? Well meet Atlas! This boy is all Husky! The personality, the howl, the chattiness and the energy! Atlas has been bounced around a lot and his last home left him in pretty rough shape unfortunately. We have been working hard at helping him gain weight and get healthy again. He is very friendly, loves other dogs and people. He might be a bit much for small children but if you have teenagers that would need a running buddy and friend Atlas would like to submit his application! Atlas is 2 years old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He will need continued work on his obedience training. Even though he had been to puppy training when he was younger his most recent owner left him tied to a tree most of the time. Atlas is a sweet guy that needs some consistency (other than a tree!) and to be told he is a good good boy! His adoption fee is $275.00

Read more about Sugar

Meet Sugar! This sweet little girl was one of many dogs pulled from a hoarding house. Sugar is trying so hard to learn about things since the experiences she has had in her life up until now have been very limited. She's learned that car rides are nice, couches are soft, windows have warm sunlight and that snuggling with someone to sleep at night is her favorite thing! Sugar is afraid of men and would need a women only household. She also is struggling with going outside since she has spent that past two years locked in a basement however she does better in a fenced yard so that would be a plus for this little girl. We estimate her to be about 2 years old. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $275.00

Adopting a dog in Comfrey

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.

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.
