Puppy (3 months 21 days) · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois · 25 mi from Kronenwetter





Aleida is a 15 week old, female Malinois puppy (DOB 7/5/2026). She is a very sweet girl who loves to be petted. She does well with other dogs, respecting them when she is told they aren't interested in her and happy to play when invited. Aleida is learning to come when she is called and other obedience. She sleeps well in her crate overnight and tries hard to be potty trained (has had just one accident so far) and will go to the door when she needs to go out. Aleida has to energy, food and toy drive to be a fun obedience, scent work or other sport dog, but would be a wonderful pet in an active home too.

2. Ruthie
Female · Siberian Husky / Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed · 25 mi from Kronenwetter




COURTESY POST - This dog will not be adopted through ABMR - Please contact owner (information at bottom of this bio)
Ruthie
is an amazing dog. She's super sweet and smart and we love her. She loves to play fetch at the dog park (watching her run is amazing!) or even in the living room with her favorite toy. She loves long walks and is great on a leash. She is totally housebroken and doesn't have accidents or destroy stuff in the house. She's an excellent watchdog and guards us from everything ;-)
Read more about Ruthie
We adopted
Ruthie
from the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society 3 years ago as a tiny puppy, one of 12 in a litter left under a bridge. Our youngest dog has been bugging
Ruthie
for fun and play, which she loves for a while -- but eventually she asserts herself as alpha and has bitten her dog sibling a few times. She's had no problems with our other, more submissive dog. But since we also have little kids we're concerned.
Heartbroken, we know she'd be happier in a home without all our chaos -- other dogs, little kids, cats, etc. -- a solo dog with an active, loving family. Whoever adopts her will be very lucky indeed.
If interested in adopting Ruthie, please email Nell at

3. Nitro
Young (1 year) · Male · Belgian Shepherd Malinois · 25 mi from Kronenwetter




Meet Nitro ~ A Young Pup Ready to Light that Fire in your Heart
True to his name, Nitro is an energetic puppy full of heart and unlimited potential. He is the total package.
Nitro is absolutely stunning. His striking good looks, expressive face, and athletic build turn heads wherever he goes. But it's his affectionate nature, loyal heart, and genuine desire to connect with his people that make him truly special.
Read more about Nitro
At under a year old, this incredibly handsome Belgian Malinois is everything you could hope for in a young dog. Friendly with people, social with other dogs, and deeply devoted to his person, Nitro is the kind of companion who wants to be part of everything you do.
Still very much a puppy, Nitro is a happy guy who approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity. Not unusual for his breed, Nitro shows his excitement with playful “clacking”. Whether he's chasing a ball, proudly carrying around his favorite Kong toy, or transforming an ordinary plastic water bottle into the greatest treasure on earth, Nitro knows how to make every day an adventure.
Nitro is also a smart young dog with an excellent foundation already in place. He:
Walks nicely on leash
Knows sit and down
Is house-trained
Is crate-trained
Is highly food-motivated and eager to learn
Does well at daycare
With his intelligence, work ethic, and love of rewards, Nitro is the perfect age to continue building skills and deepening the bond with his future family.
Nitro is expected to remain on the smaller side for a male Belgian Malinois, making him a wonderful choice for someone looking for all the incredible qualities of the breed in a slightly more compact package.
One story that perfectly captures Nitro's confidence and adventurous nature happened during his very first boat ride. While many dogs might hesitate in a brand-new environment, Nitro hopped aboard like he'd been doing it his entire life and loved every minute of the experience. His willingness to embrace new adventures suggests he'll be an enthusiastic partner wherever life takes you—whether that's hiking trails, training fields, road trips, or simply spending time together.
Nitro is currently located in Ohio and is searching for a family that appreciates the intelligence, athleticism, and loyalty that make Belgian Malinois such extraordinary dogs. And willing to put in the time and effort to channel that brilliance and drive towards good. He is a young dog with enormous potential, ready for someone willing to invest in his future and enjoy the incredible journey of watching him grow.
If you're looking for a devoted companion, a training partner, an adventure buddy, and a best friend all wrapped into one handsome package, don’t miss out on this opportunity to adopt Nitro.
Are you ready to add a little Nitro to your life?

4. Lucchese
Puppy (6 months) · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed · 25 mi from Kronenwetter







We all know a good pair of boots is totally worth the time required to break them in because they will provide years of joy and reliability. The same is true for the
Boot Babies!
Meet Lucchese.
Luchhese (AKA Lu) is a sweet female
who has a fiery spirit and
loves to work and play!
She is as smart as a whip and wants you to know
her boots were made for walking
Read more about Lucchese
. And that’s just what she’ll do! Lucchese foster family is an active, sport home. With their support, she has learned sit (verbal), down and stand with a fading lure, spin in both directions, touch, come, and loose leash/attentive walking. Lu has shown great focus and engagement, the ability to use her nose, and loved her beginner swimming class! A future in dock diving, perhaps?
Lu would love a family or person who can continue developing these skills with weekly classes and possibly competition. When Foster Mama tipped back her cowboy hat, Lu whispered, “I’d love a home who can teach me how to navigate stranger danger appropriately and give me an endless supply of treats and toys!” Foster Mama wants to add to Lu’s wish list. A furry sibling would be an amazing gift for this girl!
Things that Lu should
not
be trusted around due to developing prey drive:
Small children
Cats and small dogs
Chickens
Apartment walls - she is a bit too vocal for attached neighbors!
DNA Results
45% Malinois (one of Mama’s parents was Mal and GSD, the other was Malinois)
23% American Pit Bull Terrier
21% German Shepherd
9% Great Pyrenees
These boots are made for story writing. If you would like Lu to write her story with you, get those applications in!
If interested, you may reach out to coordinator Chris Wood at
cwood@malinoisrescue.org
or via Messenger. Please copy assistant coordinator Beth Sorenson at

5. Loco
Adult · Male · Dachshund / Mixed · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




This is Loco! He really doesn't even need a bio because his name says it all. He is full of energy and has so much love to give. He loves to be up on your lap and in your space. Loco doesn't mind the dogs here at the shelter but seems a little too interested in the cats. He would be an excellent family dog. We believe he is a long-haired dachshund! Loco is a clingy guy, so he would love a family that could give him a lot of attention! If you are interested in adopting Loco, please fill out an application at www.hspcwi.org/adopt. Loco is up to date on his vaccines, neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $300+ tax. If you are a resident of Portage County a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption!

6. Tortilla
Adult · Female · Boxer / Mixed · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




This interesting looking girl is Tortilla. Lovingly named after her tortilla chip shaped ears. She could be in the running for the world record of "Smallest Ears on a Dog". We really don't know what breed she is, but she has the body of a boxer and the face of a greyhound. She is long, leggy, smooth, sleek, and looks great in a sweater. On top of her good looks, she has quite the personality. She loves to run, play and receive attention. Tortilla would be a great dog to take out on the trail to do some hiking or playing fetch in the back yard. When she is all done with that, she would like to fall asleep on the couch with a bunch of blankets.
Read more about Tortilla
Tortilla is 37lbs and ready to go home! She is a little nervous, so we don't recommend small children for her. She would do better with older children that are respectful of boundaries. She seems to do well with male dogs and does not seem to mind cats. Tortilla's adoption fee is $200 + tax. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting this house noodle, you can fill out an application on our website!

7. Wednesday
Adult · Female · Labrador Retriever / Terrier / Mixed · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




It is the perfect time of year to bring a little black dog named Wednesday home! She has the sweetest little face and a unique crooked smile that makes it look like she has pulled a sneaky little prank on you and is waiting for you to find out. When she comes up to greet you, her whole body wags with her tail. Just like the real Wednesday, she prefers to not have to share with others. Wednesday won't go after dogs, but she does not like them up in her business. Cats are an absolute no-go for her. She would love nothing more but to chase them! She would like to have a home with no other siblings.
Read more about Wednesday
She seems to do well with children and would not mind having someone to play with! Wednesday is approximately 40lbs and could stand to lose a few! We can't blame her for that; it's tough to stay away from the treats this time of year! We are not sure what her breed is, but she seems to be a black lab/terrier mix since she is on the smaller side! Wednesday is up to date on her shots, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $100 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption! Hurry and scoop this pocket-sized gal up!

8. Colt
Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




Coming in at a slim 90lbs, we are welcoming Colt to the adoptable dogs team! This man LOVES kisses. We are not sure what his breed is, but his attitude and demeanor scream labrador retriever. When he is feeling affectionate, he gently gives love nibbles. He also chatters his teeth together when he is sniffing something new or giving you a kiss on the face. He is full of personality and love and is ready to find his forever family. Colt seems to do well with other dogs and doesn't mind cats. He is quite a big boy, so Colt would do better with older, sturdier children so he does not knock them down.

Colt is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $200 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a dog license will be issued to you at the time of adoption!

9. Pepper
Adult · Male · Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




Introducing Pepper! Pepper is a chill little guy who just wants to snuggle up in your lap. He is a Bichon/Poodle mix. He is about 30-40 pounds and 9 years old. He definitely got the poodle length and the bichon height out of the mix. He is quite the low rider! His only home requirement is love and affection. He really isn't picky as long as there is someone around to lavish him with attention. Pepper is on a special urinary diet due to frequent UTIs, and a few meds. All of these help keep him happy and healthy. As long as he is on his special food, he is UTI free! He can be a nervous dude, so he enjoys wearing his thunder jacket to keep him feeling secure.
Read more about Pepper
He seems to do well with low energy dogs, and cats as well. He doesn't seem to mind children, but due to him being a little nervous, he may need an older child who knows how to interact with animals! Pepper will come with all of his "safety blanket" items. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative! His adoption fee is $150 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a license will be issued at the time of adoption! If you are interested in meeting Pepper, please fill out an application for him on our website at www.hspcwi.org/adopt. Pepper is looking forward to snuggling up on the couch with you!

10. Winifred
Puppy · Female · Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




We still have puppies! These two girls are looking for their forever home! If you are looking for a spunky companion who will give you endless joy and also make you question your life choices, you have come to the right place. These guys are full of energy and antics. The bad news; these guys need training. They are going to be higher energy dogs, and they are babies still. They do not know a whole lot of anything, and it will be like bringing a toddler with shark teeth into your home! They WILL steal your socks, they WILL think your hands, toes and whatever skin is showing is a chew toy, and they WILL think it's funny when you get mad at them for not being good citizens.
Read more about Winifred
The good news; they are so cute, smart, and will make you laugh. Puppy zoomies: HILAROUS. Bringing you stuff that they shouldn't have in their mouth: SOMEWHAT FUNNY. Playing with their toys appropriately: RARE OCCURANCE, but appreciated, nonetheless. They should be relatively easy to train, and puppies are great at learning. They are not so good at remembering, so they will need reminders! We are not sure how big they will get, but they should stay relatively small. They look like heeler/terrier mixes, but only a DNA test could tell. These girls have had their appropriate puppy vaccinations and are microchipped. Their adoption fee is $300. A portion of their adoption fee will be returned after they are spayed. The surgery will be done at HSPC at no cost to the adopter! If you are interested in meeting/adopting one of the puppies, please fill out a dog adoption application on our website www.hspcwi.org. The approved adopters will be notified for an appointment and will be able to choose a puppy best fitting for their home during their visit. We cannot hold puppies, so get your applications in to meet these little land shark equivalents!

11. Blue
Senior · Male · Australian Shepherd · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




This is Blue. Blue is an Australian Shepherd by day, and his brother Presley's emotional support by night. And by night we mean that is his full-time job! Blue is about 8 years old, and the total package. He is sweet, laid back, well behaved, potty trained and loves everyone. Blue is on a special hepatic diet and a liver supplement. Lately, Blue has completely refused to eat his special diet, so we switched him over to regular food. Ideally, he would be eating the diet that keeps him healthy, but the stress of the shelter is getting to him. Being everyone's favorite is hard! He is too busy raising morale in the building to worry about his own health.
Read more about Blue
He is rebelling against the work load he gave himself by requesting a different food each meal. In a lower stress environment, we are hopeful that Blue can get back on the correct diet to help him live his best life. As mentioned before, Blue has a full-time position as Presley's emotional support. Presley has requested that Blue keeps his job so they will need to go to a home together. Blue is really only looking for someone to pet his butt and let him sit right on top of them. They may do well with teenagers or older respectful children. Blue and Presley's adoption fee will be $100 for the pair. Blue is neutered, current on vaccines, micro chipped and heart worm negative. If you are interested in meeting/adopting Blue and Presley please submit a dog application on our website www.hspcwi.org. The approved adopter will be contacted within three business days for an appointment to meet him. If all goes well, Blue and Presley can go home the same day. All dog adoptions come with a leash, collar, toys and 3 days of food. The adopter is given copies of all medical records. If the adopter is a resident of Portage County a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption.

12. Presley
Adult · Male · Siberian Husky / Mixed · 28 mi from Kronenwetter




Meet Presley! Presley is a 63lb husky mix. He is a quiet, polite, and respectful boy. He loves to give a sassy side eye and will make hanging out with him alone a very awkward experience. Honestly, Presley just has a staring problem. If you catch him staring, he will look away like he wasn't just silently judging you. Presley NEEDS to go home with his brother Blue. Blue makes hanging out with Presley a little less awkward. Presley knows his basic commands and will do them when you have a treat in your hand. If you do not, he will judge you with his weirdly round eyes until you get one. He may even throw a little silent bark in there to add some extra treat-getting encouragement.
Read more about Presley
He can be shy at first, but he comes out of his shell when he is with Blue (and with treats). Presley and Blue keep each other busy and out of your hair when you are trying to have time to yourself. You will have to listen to them play though, because they want you to watch them wrestle instead of the tv series you've been binging. They are the best of friends and cannot be separated. They may do well with teenagers or older children who understand boundaries. Presley is approximately 3 years old. Blue and Presley's adoption fee will be $100 for the pair. Presley is neutered, current on vaccines, micro chipped and heart worm negative. If you are interested in meeting/adopting Blue and Presley please submit a dog application on our website www.hspcwi.org. The approved adopter will be contacted within three business days for an appointment to meet him. If all goes well, Blue and Presley can go home the same day. All dog adoptions come with a leash, collar, toys and 3 days of food. The adopter is given copies of all medical records. If the adopter is a resident of Portage County a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption.

Foster location: Weyauwega
Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html
Bio: MEET HERSHEY! A little dog with a LOT of potential!
Hershey came to us from MADACC, a Milwaukee shelter, and we're learning more about his story every day. ❤️
Read more about Hershey
Hershey came from a hoarding situation with approximately 30 other dogs. That means the world as most of us know it is still pretty new to him. He's missed out on a lot of the things other dogs take for granted. Basic training, confidence, socialization, and learning how to navigate life in a home are all things he'll need help with.
But here's what we're already seeing... Hershey WANTS to learn!
In the short time he's been with us, we've seen that spark. That curiosity. That little bit of drive that tells us he's ready to figure this whole world out. He just needs someone willing to show him the way.
Hershey isn't a finished product. He's a work in progress, and that's okay! He'll need patience, consistency, encouragement, and someone who understands that confidence isn't built overnight.
But imagine being the person who gets to watch him discover all the things he's been missing. The first time he realizes he can do something new. The first time he tackles something that once scared him. The first time he truly believes in himself.
That's the magic of giving a dog like Hershey a chance.
He has so much potential, and we cannot wait to see what he becomes with a little love, a lot of patience, and someone in his corner.
Could you be Hershey's person?

Adult · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 50 mi from Kronenwetter




Meet Winnifred, your very own personal cheerleader!
Whatever your plans are, Winnifred is your biggest supporter! Taking a nap? She's in. Going for a run? LET'S GO! Laying on the floor? Sounds amazing. Doing laundry? BEST DAY EVER!
Honestly, she doesn't care what you're doing, as long as she's doing it with you!
Winnifred loves EVERYONE, including kids, and firmly believes personal space is completely unnecessary.
She's still working on her leash manners because apparently "going for a walk" translates to "FULL SPEED AHEAD!" in Winnifred's world. She does ride nicely in the car, though. Being a Passenger princess is her second job.
Read more about Winnifred
This sweet girl came to us from Milwaukee. We don't know much about her past, but it appears she's recently had puppies and somehow found herself without a home.
Right now, we're working on putting some much-needed weight on her, which means extra meals, plenty of snacks, and all the love she can soak up!
Whatever her past looked like, we're determined to make sure her future is filled with everything she deserves.

Meet Ruthie, a Louisiana girl looking for her happily ever after!
Ruthie traveled many miles all the way from Louisiana with one big hope: finding the loving forever family she so very much deserves.
Read more about Ruthie
This beautiful, blue-eyed girl came from a small shelter where opportunities to be seen were limited. She waited there for over two months before finally getting her chance to make the journey to Wisconsin and begin a new chapter. Now, we're determined to help her find the happy ending she's been waiting for!
Ruthie is a shy girl who is still learning that the world can be a wonderful place. She'll need continued socialization, patience, and understanding as she learns to feel safe and confident. Having another confident, friendly dog in her forever home could be a huge benefit, giving her a furry friend to follow, learn from, and look to for reassurance.
The best part? She's already beginning to come out of her shell! In the short time she's been with her foster family, Ruthie has started venturing out to observe all the hustle and bustle of her busy foster home. She's taking it all in at her own pace, and when the world gets a little overwhelming, you can find her favorite safe spot: the comfy recliner. ❤️
We know confidence won't happen overnight, but we're hopeful that with each passing day, Ruthie will continue to discover just how wonderful life can be. She may not be the girl who runs up to everyone right away, but sometimes the most rewarding friendships are the ones that take a little time to bloom.
Now, we're looking for someone special. Someone patient, kind, and willing to let Ruthie blossom at her own pace. Someone who understands that earning her trust is a journey worth taking and that beneath those gorgeous blue eyes is a girl with so much potential.
Ruthie has waited long enough for her chance. Could you be the person who finally shows her what forever love feels like?
Apply to adopt Ruthie today and help this sweet Louisiana girl write the next chapter of her happily ever after!

Read more about Sprig
Sprig is an adorable 2-month-old terrier mix and sister to sweet Burch! After traveling all those miles, this little cutie is ready to unpack her tiny bags and find the family she’ll call her own!
At just 2 months old, Sprig has her whole life ahead of her! A lifetime of puppy kisses, silly adventures, wagging tails, and unconditional love is waiting for one lucky family.
Of course, being such a young pup means Sprig still has plenty to learn! She’ll need a patient, loving family willing to show her the ropes, teach her puppy manners, and help her grow into the very best girl she can be. ✨
Sprig isn’t looking for perfection — just someone who understands that puppies take time, patience, and lots of love. In return, she’ll give you a lifetime of loyalty, laughter, and a little furry shadow who thinks you’re the greatest person in the world! ❤️
Sprig traveled all the way from Louisiana for a chance at a better life. Could her forever adventure begin with YOU?
Help us find this sweet little girl the happily ever after she deserves! Share, share, share!

Adopting a dog in Kronenwetter
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.
