17. Jolene
As a young Mountain Cur mix born in July 2026,
Jolene is begging me to find her a forever home. She says she knows I surely can help her out. Her beauty is beyond compare with brindle locks of colored hair. The softest fur and eyes of brown, she's the cutest puppy all around. Jolene is busy working on her potty skills as with all puppies it takes a bit of time. She loves all humans, animals and toys. A good belly rub from you will be returned tenfold with puppy breath kisses. She promises not to take anything from you, but she's guaranteed to steal your heart.

18. Moore
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.
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:

19. Beijing
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!

20. Bali
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!

Adopting a dog in Robbinsdale
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.
