Dogs for Adoption in Stewart, MN: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Dog friendly: Yes! Toby gets along with other dogs and would be happy to have canine companions!

Cat friendly: Absolutely! This sweet boy is good with feline friends, too!

Personality: Toby is an incredibly sweet boy who is understandably feeling a little confused and anxious right now. After losing his person and everything familiar, who could blame him? He just needs a patient, loving family to help him feel safe and secure again.

Fitness goals: Let's just say Toby has been enjoying the good life a LITTLE too much. He's currently sporting some extra Beagle fluff and will need a family committed to helping him shed a few pounds at a safe, healthy pace.

Think leisurely walks, appropriate portions, and a whole lot of encouragement. Toby is officially entering his fitness era!

But here's the thing about Toby.

He doesn't know he's considered a senior.

He doesn't know he's carrying a few extra pounds.

And he certainly doesn't understand why the person he loved isn't coming home.

All he knows is that his world has changed, and he's waiting for someone to make it feel right again.

Toby doesn't need a perfect family. He just needs a family who will love him.

Someone who understands that adjusting takes time. Someone who will celebrate the little victories as his confidence returns. Someone who will give him the security of knowing he's finally home again.

At 8 years old, Toby deserves more than uncertainty. He deserves cozy beds, sniff-filled walks, gentle affection, and a family who will cherish every single day with him.

His first chapter was filled with love. Let's make sure his next chapter is, too.

Personal space is simply not in her vocabulary. If you wanted a dog who respects boundaries, you might want to keep scrolling! Sensitive Doberman princess? Oh, 100%. Dixie has that classic Doberman sensitivity, especially when it comes to the WEATHER. Rain? Hard pass. Wet paws? Absolutely unacceptable. Being asked to go potty when water is literally FALLING FROM THE SKY? The audacity. Dixie would much rather be curled up somewhere warm and cozy, preferably under a blanket with her favorite human. And honestly, can we blame her? At just 2 years old, Dixie has so much life, love, and adventure ahead of her! She's looking for a family who will appreciate her sweet personality, embrace her Velcro Doberman tendencies, and understand that sometimes a princess simply does not wish to get her paws wet. If your dream dog is a beautiful, dog-friendly, affectionate Doberman who doubles as a personal space heater and professional cuddle companion, Dixie might just be your girl!

Azo has also shown that she can handle large crowds. This girl has the brains, the sweetness, and the potential to make an incredible companion. She's still young, still learning, and ready for someone who will invest in her and give her the life she deserves. Could Azo be the missing piece of your family? She's ready to trade training sessions for a lifetime of love, adventures, and a place to finally call home. Ayzal is in a foster to adopt home.

When he arrives, River will be fostered in a home with other Danes, so he’ll have friends to enjoy and keep him company. He is crate and house trained, rock solid, and has truly been there, done that. He will be going through heartworm treatment once he is with us, but we don’t want him to wait any longer. We would love to find his happily ever after soon, even while he is in treatment. River has spent his life far to long waiting and we know moving him to our rescue was the right thing for him. Let's find him a forever home. He is so deserving!!!!

If you adopt River, you will probably say you don’t understand why he wasn’t scooped up by another family. And you will be so thankful it was you. Interested in meeting River? www.uniteddobermanrescue.org

He’s also living proof that a big dog doesn’t have to make a big fuss about everything. He ignores his foster’s chickens and remains calm around other animals, even when other dogs are barking. When something catches his attention on a hike, he’ll stop and observe until he’s satisfied there’s no threat rather than immediately reacting. Inside the home? He’s a dream. Scooby isn’t destructive, enjoys a good chew stick, and simply wants to be near his person. But here’s where this big guy will steal your heart… Scooby is a certified LOVE BUG. He wants to be petted on his nose and head all day, every day. He’s happiest just being close to his human, soaking up affection and reminding you that sometimes the best part of life is having a loyal companion by your side. Think about it. A dog who listens, learns quickly, enjoys adventures, can coexist peacefully with other animals, knows his manners, and wants nothing more than to love his people. This is the dog who was almost out of time. Scooby deserved more than the final hours he was given. He deserved a chance to be someone's best friend, hiking buddy, couch companion, and forever shadow. Now he needs someone to give him the one thing rescue cannot promise forever: a home of his own. Could that be you? If you're looking for a wonderful companion to welcome into your life, please consider Scooby. He has so much love to give, and his next chapter deserves to be filled with safety, adventures, affection, and the promise that he will never have to wonder if his time is running out again. Scooby is ready for his happily ever after. Let's make sure this boy's story ends with a family of his own.

Brandy is a typical Dobe when it comes to her home and her person. She bonds closely with her human and will absolutely let strangers know she is there when they enter her territory. Once she knows you, though, you'll quickly see the sweet girl behind that beautiful red exterior.

Brandy has done well with the other dogs in her home. Any introductions to dogs or other pets should be done slowly, correctly, and with plenty of time for everyone to become comfortable.

Brandy has spent the last five years being someone's loyal companion, and now she's looking for someone who will be hers. She deserves a home that understands the devotion, intelligence, and protective nature that comes with loving a Doberman—and, most importantly, a family ready to make her part of their world again.

This red beauty has so much love and loyalty left to give. Could Brandy be your girl?

Klaus is a smart cookie, too. He knows his basic commands and has an excellent recall, so when you call, he comes running (probably with a goofy grin). He's never possessive of his food or toys, and he is affectionate to the core, the kind of dog who will happily lean into you for one more cuddle.

He's up to date on his vaccinations and is currently being treated for allergies. Like any good student, Klaus has one subject he's still working on: leash walking. With a little patience, structure, and continued training, he'll be strutting down the sidewalk like a champ.

Klaus has so much love to give. All he needs is a family who will offer patience, guidance, and most of all, a permanent place to call home. Could that be you?

Penny’s leg may ultimately need to be amputated, but because she is still so young, we are confident that she will adapt incredibly well if that ends up being the best option for her. We will be working closely with our veterinary team and following their recommendations to make sure Penny receives whatever care is truly in her best interest.

Right now, Penny is focused on being a puppy — learning, growing, and soaking up all the love she deserves. She is looking for a family who understands that she may have some extra medical needs along the way, but who also sees what we see: a bright, beautiful little girl with so much life ahead of her.

Penny has already overcome so much in her short life, and we cannot wait to see what her future holds. She deserves a family who will give her patience, love, and the chance to show everyone just how special she is.

Penny may have had a rough start, but we know her best days are still ahead.

The wonderful thing about Diamond is that she really tries to be the best girl. She wants to do the right thing, and you can almost see the wheels turning as she learns about all these new things she may not have experienced while living at the kennel. Give her a little patience, encouragement, and guidance, and she is eager to figure it out.

It is also VERY apparent that Diamond has had some serious obedience training. She knows her commands and clearly understands what is expected of her. She sits when its leash time, sits when the door opens and waits for you to tell her to go through. We suspect she may have spent some time as a board-and-train at the kennel she was at because this girl has some impressive skills!

She loves going for walks and is a fantastic car passenger. Diamond is quite happy riding shotgun, taking in the scenery and making sure everyone is following proper driving procedures.

And then there is the ball. Diamond LOVES to play ball. Throw it, she is on it. Throw it again, she is ready. And again. And again. We are pretty sure she would happily make ball retrieval her full-time career if someone would just keep the paycheck coming in tennis balls.

Diamond is dog-friendly. Once she feels comfortable with humans, her playful personality comes out. She is affectionate, curious, and wants to be involved in whatever her people are doing.

She isn't normally much of a talker, but put her in a crate and suddenly she has a LOT to say. Apparently, Diamond believes being crated is the perfect time to provide everyone within earshot with her thoughts on the situation.

She is also learning about some of the stranger things that come with being a house dog. The robot vacuum, or computer printer, for example, neither has not exactly won her endorsement. She is still reviewing those particular pieces of technology. She clearly does not approve.

Diamond is such a fun combination of youthful energy, intelligence, sweetness, and personality. She is learning every day, and watching her gain confidence as she experiences new things is pretty special. She would love a family who will continue her training, give her plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, play lots of ball, take her on adventures, and help her learn that all those new and sometimes weird things in the world are actually okay. Diamond tends to be very clingy once she determines you are her person.

She does startle easily by new things so a fully fenced yard will be required. Clearly learning about the outside world in her foster home.

Diamond is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and on preventative. She is ready to keep learning, keep playing, and most importantly, finally have a family of her own. Diamond is fostered in Arizona. Adopters will need to travel to meet and adopt.

Because here's what we know: This 1-year-old Doberman arrived with very little information and approximately 17,000 unanswered questions. He was dropped off at a foster's boarding facility without official approval, with almost no history. We were told he had lived with children, another dog, and that his name was Doby.

That's it. Apparently, the rest of his biography was classified.

When he first arrived, he was scared, confused and understandably unsure about what was happening. But once he started settling in, we discovered something important:

THIS BOY IS A TOTAL DOG NUT.

LOVES other dogs.

Playing? YES.

Romping? YES.

Wrestling? ABSOLUTELY.

Running around like someone just announced free pizza? EVERY SINGLE TIME.

He has been having a blast at daycare and absolutely LOVES hanging out with his canine friends.

Give him another dog and suddenly the worried, uncertain boy disappears and the Doberman version of a professional WWE wrestler comes out.

But then there's the other side of this handsome guy.

He's a Doberman.

And apparently his internal software came with the "Protect My People at All Costs" package pre-installed.

Once he bonds with his humans, he is going to love them HARD. He will want to be with his people, know where his people are and keep tabs on his people.

Strangers?

Well...Strangers may apply for access. He will probably want to personally review their credentials, references, employment history and possibly their intentions regarding the snack cabinet.

This is why Atlas/Doby is NOT a first-time Doberman.

He needs someone who already understands this breed and knows that a Doberman can be loving, goofy, affectionate, intelligent, loyal and protective......sometimes all before breakfast.

He is young and still needs refinement. He needs continued training, structure, consistency and someone who will help him learn that he doesn't have to worry about everything going on around him.

And let's be clear:

He WANTS to learn.

He's young. He's smart. He's curious. He's playful. He's figuring things out.

He's not looking for someone who expects a perfectly finished product.

He's looking for someone who looks at him and says:

"Yep. I know Dobermans. I got this."

Because when he decides you're his person, you're probably going to know about it.

❤️ You will be loved.

️ You will be protected.

You will be monitored.

You will probably be followed into the bathroom. And heaven help the suspicious-looking Amazon delivery driver.

Because of his fear and uncertainty, a secure physical fence is non-negotiable. We require a tall privacy fence or very tall chain-link fence. No invisible fences, tie-outs or unfenced properties.

He has previously lived with children ages 1 through 9 and two other dogs, a little Yorkie and a large Lab. We're told those dogs apparently had him thoroughly trained in the art of knowing his place. Now he's discovering that life can actually be pretty fantastic.

He gets to play with dogs. He gets to wrestle. He gets to romp. He gets to make friends.

And slowly, he's learning that people can be trusted too.

What Atlas/Doby needs now is his person. Not just anybody.

Not someone who thinks, "I've never owned a Doberman, but how hard could it be?"

Nope. We're looking for an experienced Doberman owner who understands the breed, understands protective behavior, enjoys training and is willing to help this young guy grow into the

Lucee is happiest when she’s spending time with her people, whether that means enjoying a nice, long walk with her foster parents or relaxing at home after a day of adventures. And, of course, the way to her heart is through treats!

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will happily keep you company, soak up all the cuddles, and be your very best friend, Lucee might just be your girl.

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?

From the Foster Family: Daisy Doo recently joined us from Alabama. She is a sweet, gentle soul who can be a bit shy when meeting new people or in new situations, but once she settles in, she is full of love. She shows her affection by wagging her entire back end. Her ideal day would be laying on the couch with her humans. She is looking for a patient family who can help her gain confidence and provide her with plenty of affection.

About Me: Hi! My name is Daisy Doo. I'm a sweet girl who recently traveled all the way from Alabama. I can be a little shy at first because everything is new to me, but I have so much love to give! If you're patient with me, I'll be your most loyal companion. I'm really looking for a loving home where I can feel safe and get all the cuddles I've been dreaming of. Could I be the one for you?

Hi, everyone! My name is Sweet Girl, but my foster family calls me Swirl for short! I recently made the long journey all the way from Alabama, and now I’m ready for the best adventure of all… finding my forever family!

If you’re looking for a sweet, loving girl with a heart of gold, look no further! I absolutely love meeting new friends and spreading happiness wherever I go. Whether we’re chasing tennis balls, playing with squeaky toys, going for walks, or taking a car ride to our next adventure, I’m always ready to join in on the fun!

But don’t let my playful side fool you… I’m also a professional snuggler! Some of my favorite moments are simply curling up next to my foster family and soaking up all the love and attention I can get.

The best part? I’m a pretty well-rounded girl! I get along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids, so I could be a great addition to a variety of families. I’m potty trained, crate trained, and already know some basic commands like sit and down. I love exploring the yard, going on adventures, and being close to my foster family.

I have so much love to give, and I can’t wait to find the family I’ll get to call my own forever. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a built-in best friend, and a sweet girl who will happily follow you wherever life takes you…
I might just be your girl!

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?"

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!

With his intelligence, playful spirit, and friendly personality, Boojo has all the makings of an amazing family companion. He’s ready to keep learning, make memories, share lots of love, and find a family who will cherish him forever.

Boojo is ready for his next big adventure: finding his forever home! Could that be with you?

This sweet boy is a little shy and cautious at first, but he has such a loving personality! He enjoys being close to his people and is happiest right by your side. He especially loves the kids and will happily plop himself right on top of them for some cuddles!

He is a quick learner and has been making great progress with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule. He is also doing really well with crate training! He responds wonderfully to positive reinforcement, especially when treats are involved.

He is a gentle, affectionate puppy who just needs a little patience and reassurance as he builds his confidence. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet and cuddly personality really shines through!

A Little About Me!

Hi! I’m a sweet, cuddly pup who can be a little shy when meeting new people or trying new things, but once I get comfortable, I love being right by your side!

One of my favorite things to do is explore outside! There are so many new smells and things to discover. I also love being around other dogs and enjoy having furry friends to spend time with.

After a busy day of exploring and playing, you can usually find me curled up on the couch, snuggling with my favorite people. I especially love cuddling with kids and sometimes think I’m a lap dog!

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!

He is making good progress with potty training but needs help being led outside. He gets a little scared of loud noises in general but especially when he’s outside. He likes small walks around the yard to use the bathroom and then is quick to want to go back inside.

He is very shy to walk up to humans but is very curious of other dogs and enjoys being around them. He’s an extremely loving and affectionate boy!
