Success Stories

These lucky dogs have found their forever families.

Sweet little Dasher has dashed into the hearts of a lovely family who has adopted from Minnesota Sheltie Rescue four times. Dasher runs through the snow like a reindeer, and already loves to follow BIG brofur in Wally the Collie around! Adopted 11/20/22.

Ali

When Ali came back into rescue, we knew we had to be extra careful in matching her with someone who understood Ali's needs, and who could patiently and compassionately help Ali to adjust and to thrive. We are so pleased that Ali has found her person! Ali's new mom has taken the time to learn what works best for Ali, what Ali likes and doesn't like, and how to help Ali to feel more confident. The connection they have is very special and Ali is happy and feels loved! Adopted 9/27/22.

Frosty came into rescue shortly before his 12th birthday. A gentle and friendly little gentleman, one look into his sweet brown eyes and you don’t see age, just love. Frosty worked his charms and he now has both a feline and canine sibling, and a kind mom experienced with rescue Shelties who will give Frosty all the love he so deserves and the best of care! Frosty woofs a big “thanks woof” to his foster family and foster sister for their loving and welcoming accommodations. Frosty, adopted 9/11/22.

Sookie came to MNSR after she and her siblings were left behind at their home. Sookie's foster family immediately saw the gem that she is and invited her to join their family. “We love her. She’s smart, active and agile. We spend a lot of time outdoors and on hikes.” Adopted 7/28/2022.
