Success Stories

These beautiful dogs have joined loving families.

I got to go for a ride with my foster human and an MNSR volunteer to meet a very kind person. She adopted Davey from MNSR years ago, and then Gordy. She thinks we have lots of love to give each other and she asked if I wanted to come live with her! My answer: YES! I think my angel mom is happy for us. I’m so thankful my foster took care of me so that I could find love again. Mackie, adopted 6/20/26 at age 12.5 years.

Minnesota Sheltie Rescue has been around 23+ yrs, and it’s very special when the now adult children of our volunteers and adopters become volunteers and adopters themselves. 12 year old Skylar found a special connection with the young adult in her foster home, and we are so happy that they are now family! Adopted 5/18/2026.

Kasey is happy and loves to play with the other two Shelties in his home, running in the backyard with them, playing fetch, and snuggling with the humans. Adopted 4/21/2026. 

Pinkerton accepted the position of pawficial cuddler for his human and any lucky guests who visit. And his MNSR sisfur Sunshine will teach him the fine art of neighborhood watch. Adopted 4/01/2026.
