1. Spy

2 Years 11 Months · Male · Unknown breed · 6 mi from Mounds View

My foster family reports that I am very mindful, very demure. I love to play with toys but I am very gentle about it. I've learned very quickly how to ask how to go outside/inside and I am working on mastering stairs (reports are that I am a very fast learner and am picking up how to do stairs quickly). I am good in my kennel as well. Some of my favorite things are car rides, a fun romp in the yard, and laying blissfully in a sunbeam. I am respectful of the resident cats (they actually scare me a little bit) and I don't have a super high prey drive. I thoroughly enjoy a good walk and have even jogged a bit with my foster family, who reports I am excellent on leash (I do request plenty of sniff stops on my adventures). I think I "spy" my future family- could that be you?

2. Candi

Adult (3 years 10 months) · Female · Greyhound · 6 mi from Mounds View

Calling anyone with a sweet tooth! True to my name, my foster family reports that I am a very sweet girl who loves her naps (I take my retirement very seriously). Slippery floors still make me nervous, and I am still a little unsure about walks (but I am still learning the ropes). Long walks/hikes are probably not for me- I would prefer to spend my days inside snoozing on a comfy dog bed or in my kennel. In fact, I will do my business outside very quickly so I can get back into bed! I am excitedly cautious about meeting new people, but my foster family reports that overall I seem to do well with people, other dogs, and can be redirected away from cats/small animals. Do you need a little "Candi" in your life?

3. Beretta

Adult (3 years 10 months) · Female · Greyhound · 6 mi from Mounds View

Beretta's the name, and loving people and walks is the game! My foster family reports that I am a very sweet and friendly girl. I am always super excited when I get a chance to meet new new people and new dogs. I enjoy going on a good walk where I can sniff all of the things. I would love to chase small furry animals on walks, so a home without cats or small animals would be best. I am still working on learning how to go up long flights of stairs and being left alone in my kennel, but I do enjoy relaxing in my kennel when people are home during the day. I just love people and want to be with them as much as possible! If you're looking for a velcro dog, I'm your girl!

4. Luli

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Female · Greyhound · 6 mi from Mounds View

Hi, I'm Luli! My foster family reports that I am a very sweet, quiet girl who enjoys a good backyard play session with my canine foster siblings. I tend to follow the humans around the house to keep an eye on them. I adore attention, and will make it easy for you to pet me by laying my head on you. I am a little hesitant with slippery floors and prefer to have a rug or carpet under my feet, but my foster family is working on this with me. I don't have a super high prey drive- I like to look at the small creatures, but not lunge. I currently live with two cats that I do very well with, and I enjoy resting in my kennel. My foster family reports that I do very well on leash and would love to go on long walks. Will you be my walking buddy?

5. Chrome

Adult (1 year 10 months) · Female · Greyhound · 6 mi from Mounds View

Hi, I’m Chrome! I am a little bit shy, and sometimes wary of new experiences and people, but I will (eventually) (probably) warm up if you give me time. I DO NOT like to be crated, and prefer to roam freely–prefereably with a buddy to keep me company. Sometimes, if I feel lonely I cry a little bit, but whomst among us hasn’t done that? I am pretty good at walking on a leash, and in fact prefer to do my business on a leash. Poop in a yard? Ew, gross! No thank you. I am interested, perhaps a little TOO interested, in watching bunnies and squirrels, and also cats. They’re all just so fluffy and fascinating and move in really captivating ways! Children on the other hand??? They are confusing and I do not know what I think about them. Gownups are ok. I like food and toys and napping and following my people from room to room. Do you think I’d be a great addition to your home?

6. Sabbath

Adult (8 years 7 months) · Female · Greyhound · 6 mi from Mounds View

Hi, I’m Sabbath! I love to snuggle with my foster brother, even if we ran into each other that one time when we were chasing a squirrel in the yard. (I love to chase squirrels!) I also love to play with toys, watch my food being prepared, beg for attention from the humans, and run around in the yard. I have been told that I am a messy drinker, which is a rude thing to say to a sophisticated older lady. I like to meet people and make friends, and I love to explore the neighborhood! I prefer to keep my people in my direct line of sight at all times, but if they leave, I will greet them very enthusiastically when they return. I like an early breakfast, but am learning to adjust my schedule. I am also working on my leash manners, but mostly I just want to be inside enjoying the sweet sweet AC. Do you think I’d be a great addition to your home?

8. Moore

Adult (1 year) · Male · Terrier / Basenji / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

Moore is a gentle, affectionate boy with a perfect balance of playful and calm. He’s always ready to play with dog friends, and he loves curling up next to his person for snuggles. Fair warning, when you sit down and he lays up against you, resting his head on your arm, he is too cute to move. You may notice he still looks a little thin in some photos. He arrived in rescue underweight. . Rest assured he’s now enjoying regular meals, treats, and all the love he missed out on, working his way to an appropriate weight.

Read more about Moore

He also finds comfort in his kennel and his fluffy bed. When asked to kennel he happily trots in and tucks himself and settles quietly. He’s had no accidents and only vocalizes when he needs to go outside.

One of Moore’s standout moments was his recent visit to an assisted living facility, where he greeted residents with patience and warmth, happily accepting pets and making everyone's day.

Moore is learning that car rides can be good things. He climbs up onto the seat and curls up on the seat quietly. He is still learning leash skills, as I think the leash is totally new to him, but he is getting better with every walk.

Moore is a polite, social, and comforting dog who would make a wonderful addition to any home.

9. Beijing

Young (4 months 6 days) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Rottweiler / Mixed (medium coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

Meet Beijing — the sweetest boy who wants to give you all of his kisses! Beijing is a 4-month old Rottweiler/Lab mix. He is very smart and has a lot of energy to share!

Beijing is an affectionate little guy who just wants to be close to his people. Whether inside or outside, he will be your loyal companion. He is always ready for ear massages and belly rubs. He is ready to be your snuggle buddy.

Read more about Beijing

He’s house trained, crate trained, and loves having space to run, play, and let out his abundant puppy energy! At this stage of puppyhood, he still needs a productive outlet for chewing, so the more chew toys and toys to keep his brain busy, the better! We have been working on walking with a leash, and he is a fast learner. With more practice, he will be a great walker. A fenced yard would be great for him to get all of his energy out! But once Beijing decides it is “bedtime,” he will go right into his kennel and sleep through the night!

On our walks, we haven’t introduced Beijing to other dogs yet. He has politely noticed them and would like to make friends. He might do well in a home with other dogs to play with, but with enough exercise and attention, he would be a good solo dog too.

Beijing has a lot of love to give his fur-ever family!

10. Bali

Young (4 months 4 days) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

Meet Bali!

Look at that face! Bali is a sweet 4-month-old golden-red boy ready to find his forever home, and he’s already won over everyone he’s met.

Personality: Bali is a total love bug who adores every person and every dog he meets. Strangers are just friends he hasn’t cuddled yet! With his big, soulful eyes and a head tilt that will melt your heart, he’s hard to resist.

Size: At 23 pounds, Bali is a little chunk, and growing fast. He’s got that sturdy, solid puppy build, with a white bib and sweet floppy ears that haven’t quite decided whether to stand up yet.

Read more about Bali

Motivation: Bali is food-, treat-, and toy-motivated, which makes training a breeze. Bring on the snacks, and he’ll happily work for them!

Routines: He’s kennel trained and sleeps quietly through the night for 7-9 hours, so you can actually get some rest. Potty training is a work in progress, and he’s learning a little more every day. With consistency and plenty of praise, he’ll get there. Bali loves getting in the car & sits nicely in a bed in the backseat. He confidently jumps in & out of the car, and walks really well on-leash for his age! He is also starting to bell-train at the back door and will always go outside to potty when he is given the command. #2 is a little more difficult, but he has been nudging the bells or sits and waits by the back door. I think he will be really easy to fully potty train, as he is very intelligent.

Perfect for: Active families, singles, or couples who want a social, affectionate companion. Bali would do great with other dogs in the home, and he’s ready for puppy classes, long walks, and lots of couch snuggles (he’s already mastered the cozy blanket spot!).

If you’re looking for a cuddly, easygoing pup with a big heart and plenty of room to grow, Bali is waiting for you. Meet him!

Nino is a friendly, loving 1 yo boxer mix. He is fully house-trained and can use a dog door. He knows how to sit and takes treats extremely politely. He loves approaching you for attention and often sits/sleeps nearby or against you. He gets along very well with other dogs and is simply curious about cats. He has done well in a crate. He rarely makes any noise, saving it for when other companion dogs start barking. He does well in the car and on walks (no leash pulling at all). He would be a great addition to any home.

12. Ambreta

Adult (1 year 6 months) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

Ambreta is a gentle, affectionate gal who adores people and enjoys being part of whatever you’re doing. Born around April 2025, she’s great with other dogs, however she does like a minute to get to know them before the party starts. She also has a knack for knowing what the other dog needs. At her first training class she met a very timid pup. She came in soft, helped him build his confidence and within a short while they were playing like best friends.

Read more about Ambreta

Indoors, she’s a cuddlebug who's always ready to roll over for belly rubs. Outdoors, she shows off her signature move: stretching out flat like she’s flying and low crawling across the yard (self belly rub).

Ambreta is always up for a road trip, she rides well in the back seat. She occasionally pokes her head forward to say hi, but doesn't try to claim the front seat. She loves walks (because her person is there). She does want to explore everything, but she is progressing well with her leash skills. She has had no accidents. She is not a huge fan of her kennel, mainly because we are not in there with her. However, she is progressing every day. She now goes in it when we bring her to it and only protests for a minute or so the injustice of having to be away from us. (it is getting less and less as she is realizing she won't just be left in there forever)

She is excited to find a family who will love her just as much as she’ll love them.

13. Asiago

Puppy (2 months 28 days) · Female · Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

My name is Asiago and I am a 8 week old Great Pyrenees mix. My foster mom tells me I’ve got a face that melts hearts and I sure know how to use it to my advantage!! I’ll admit I’m a little spoiled in the snuggles department and love getting in close for some kisses. My spunky side comes out during playtime and when I’m outside following my nose, exploring the backyard. I'm still really young, but this whole potty training biz doesn't sound too hard- I think I'll have it down in no time! I don’t think walking on a leash will be too hard since I aim to please, but I have yet to test it out. I’m still snoozing with my siblings and I’m not sure how much I’ll like being in a kennel but I bet lots of treats will help! I’m looking for a playful and loving family (kids are great too) who has a heart as big as mine!

Puppy (4 months 10 days) · Female · Golden Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

Lacy is a sweet, playful and curious 3 month old golden retriever mix and is looking for her forever home. She’s your typical puppy, full of energy and curiosity, with lots of learning still to do, but she is making great progress and picking things up quickly!

Read more about Lacy

Lacy loves people and enjoys being close to and interacting with her humans. She loves giving kisses and following her foster parents around the house to see what they’re up to (especially if it involves making food). She’s a playful girl who enjoys all kinds of toys, and when she’s ready for some downtime, she loves chewing on bones and treat puzzle toys. Lacy is also a very smart and food-motivated girl. She responds well to training and knows sit, lay down, and kennel up.

She enjoys playing with other dogs and is excited to have canine friends around. Like most puppies her age, she is still learning appropriate play manners. She is in the phase where she likes to nibble hands, clothes and just about anything she can reach. She’s learning that people aren’t chew toys and is working on redirecting that puppy energy toward toys and chews.

Lacy is also still building confidence when she encounters new people, sounds or things in her environment. She may bark when something catches her off guard or she isn’t quite sure about it, but she typically warms up quickly once she realizes everything is okay.

She is doing really well with her crate and potty training! Lacy sleeps quietly in her crate overnight without accidents. During the day, she spends a few hours at a time in her play pen without accidents. She is continuing to learn potty training and does well throughout the rest of the house when given frequent potty breaks and appropriate supervision.

Overall, Lacy is an affectionate and playful puppy who loves being part of the action. She has a fun, curious personality and is already showing how smart and eager to learn she is. She’ll bring plenty of kisses, laughs, and puppy adventures to her forever home!

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $625.00

15. Lottery

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

Hi there! My name is Lottery, but somewhere along my journey, I decided I prefer to be called Merle. I'm some sort of Beagle/Hound mix born around September of 2023 with the velvetiest ears you've ever felt and the kindest soul, or so I'm told. I'm a people-pleaser through and through. I'm also pretty sure I'm the perfect size: big enough to join you on your next adventure, but small enough to curl up right in your lap afterward.

Read more about Lottery

When I was first brought into rescue, I had almost no fur and needed lots of extra groceries. Thanks to plenty of love, care, and good meals, my coat is coming back beautifully. And if I may brag a little, have you seen my pictures? I've got some pretty handsome coloring!

Speaking of my best qualities, I'm 100% potty trained. Not a single accident since arriving at my current foster home, which I've been told is quite impressive. I will also snuggle up in my crate and sleep soundly through the night. During the day, I'm still working on my crate manners and may sing you the occasional hound-dog ballad if I think I've been abandoned. The good news? My foster dad says I'm super smart and already making great progress.

Most of the time, I'm a pretty quiet guy. I don't get territorial when visitors stop by, and I'm happy to make new friends, both human and canine. That said, the squirrels and bunnies in the yard should probably stay alert because I take neighborhood security very seriously. Consider your perimeter protected.

I love playing with the kids in my foster home (ages 5 and 7), and I've even helped teach them the importance of cleaning up their toys. To be fair, some of their things look an awful lot like dog toys, and I do enjoy a good chew session. I'm working hard on my "leave it" command and redirect easily when reminded.

If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who will love you fiercely, snuggle deeply, learn quickly, and keep your rugs accident-free, then I just might be your guy.

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:

16. Jackpot

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Mounds View

Jackpot's story didn't start out easy, but he's proving every day that resilience, love, and a wagging tail can overcome just about anything.

This handsome beagle mix was found as a stray alongside his brother after what appears to have been a rough start in life. When he arrived in rescue, he was underweight and suffering from mange. Thanks to good care, regular meals, and lots of love, Jackpot is healing beautifully. His fur is growing back, his confidence is blossoming, and he's just looking to add a few more pounds while he waits for his forever family.

Read more about Jackpot

If you're looking for a dog that will keep you laughing, keep you active, and then curl up next to you for a nap, Jackpot might just be your winning ticket!

This playful boy is full of personality. He loves tug-of-war, playing with other dogs, and collecting toys from his canine friends whenever the opportunity presents itself. Jackpot adores toys of all kinds, especially the ones he can enthusiastically de-stuff and "customize."

Like any true hound, Jackpot experiences life through his nose. Walks are one of his favorite activities, and he's always ready to investigate every interesting scent along the way. Squirrels are his greatest weakness. Spotting one may result in some very dramatic beagle commentary as he expresses his disappointment that they refuse to come down and play.

Despite his energetic side, Jackpot is also a champion cuddler. Personal space isn't really his thing. He loves being close to his people and can often be found stretched across the back of the couch, keeping watch over his kingdom while enjoying a well-earned nap.

Jackpot gets along well with the cats in his foster home. He's curious and sometimes a little too enthusiastic when meeting feline friends, but his intentions are friendly. He also loves people of all ages and is happy to make friends with just about everyone he meets.

He's a wonderful passenger in the car and rides quietly on trips. At home, he sleeps through the night and settles nicely once it's bedtime. Jackpot may let you know he'd rather not be in his kennel at first, but after a little protesting, he relaxes and settles down.

Jackpot is highly food motivated, which makes training a lot of fun. He is currently working on housetraining, leash manners, and learning that good things come to dogs who have a little self-control. He's smart, eager, and making great progress every day.

Jackpot would thrive in a home that enjoys walks, playtime, and continuing his training. In return, he'll provide endless entertainment, expert squirrel surveillance, loyal companionship, and all the snuggles you could ever want.

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:

Adopting a dog in Mounds View

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.
