Some dogs love MNBR so much that they come back for a second round! Mila #285 (formerly known as Sapphire) was born into rescue back in November 2021—so you’ll get to see both puppy pics and enjoy the gorgeous adult Mila became! She’s a 37-pound tricolor beagle/blue heeler mix who’s brimming with joy.

Mila has been around young kids and cats, although she can be a little quick for both. (“Where are you going, new best friends?!”) Mila really needs an active dog companion. She had a friend in her old home for a few years until she became an only dog, and she did not enjoy being on her own. 

Stairs are no problem with those springy legs, and she likes walks very much. In her old home, she was kept on a line, but with her activity needs, a fenced-in backyard would be best. She’d do well with a family who enjoys being outdoors or trying extracurricular canine activities out. She knows some basic tricks, and she’d love to learn more!

Mila loves belly rubs and also enjoys crashing out in the comfiest spots she can find. She’s always interested in what’s going on outside, and then will come verbalize to you what she saw.

Bow down to Sir William #1054! This beagle transplant from Texas is 10 years old, neutered, and is dog and people friendly. He gets along well with the dogs in his foster home, and would be okay as an only dog.

If you don’t have a fenced-in yard, don’t worry—Sir William walks well on a leash and would be fine supervised on a tie-out, but he shouldn’t be left outside unsupervised. He’s trusted to be loose in his foster home when people are out, and would rather relax than cause mayhem. He’s not too interested in toys but he has a thousand-yard stare when he sees humans eating (and not sharing!)

Sir William is a well-behaved boy who acts his age and would be an excellent addition to any dog-loving home.

Do you have senioritis? Stella #1061 could be the solution! At 71 pounds, this 11-year-old tricolor is on a weight loss journey, but in the meantime that just means there’s just more of her to squish! Stella loves children, especially if they sit and give her pats, and she’d be fine being the only lady of the house. Dogs are cool, but they need to give her some space at mealtime.

More spry than expected, Stella has no problem with the small set of stairs at her foster home and she walks well on a leash. She’d be fine with any kind of outdoor situation and is also trusted to free-roam the house when left alone.

Stella’s got plenty of belly to rub and is happy to roll over just in case she might get some scritches. She’s a well-mannered lady, but she does love to sing so a home with no shared walls which would probably be appreciated by everyone.

If you’re in the market for a super-sweet family dog, give Neem #1065 a shot. This 7-year-old boy was a breeder release and he’s excited to begin his new life as a beloved pet. He’s an easy-going fellow who is learning how to do All The Things.

This happy guy is crate trained and could adjust to any kind of house and yard. He’s letting the dog in his foster home potty train him, and he’s tackling stairs one small set at a time. Neem’s great for bath time and doesn’t mind getting his nails done, because people are there and people are great!

Neem would be a great addition to any person or family looking for a lovable dog to spoil.

Sammy is a transfer from a shelter in El Paso, TX where he was found as a stray. This sweet boy has corneal endothelial degeneration which makes his eyes cloudy, but isn’t currently affecting his ability to see. He is a vocal boy who looooooves the sound of his own voice and is dog and people friendly.

We’ll update his bio as we learn more about him.

Honey and her sister Happy were found as strays in rural OK. When their owner was contacted they informed Animal Control that they didn’t want the dogs back. This is doubly sad as Honey was heavily pregnant at the time.

After only a week in rescue, Honey required an emergency C section on 7/3 when her labor stalled out. Two of the puppies were almost lost, but thankfully all six are now flourishing. Honey is a sweet girl who enjoys other dogs and people. She will be looking for a home of her own in mid-August once her puppies are weaned.

Unfortunately, Honey has tested positive for heartworm. She is looking for a foster to adopt home that will allow her to live with them while MNBR covers the cost of her heartworm treatment, then adopt her once he is heartworm free.

We will update her bio as we learn more about her.

Clover was born in rescue on 7/3 via emergency C section to her mother Honey. We were told that the father was likely the male basset in the home, but plan to send out an Embark test on one of the puppies.

We will start accepting applications for Clover when she is six weeks old.

Because we believe strongly in promoting the health of our dogs, MNBR does not spay/neuter puppies until six months of age. Intact puppies under 6 months old must be adopted in MN or within 250 miles of St. Paul in WI, IA, ND, or SD and with a spay/neuter contract. The cost of the spay/neuter is the responsibility of MNBR and reflected in the adoption fee.

Puppies are A LOT of work and a 12+ year commitment, so make sure you have thought it through and are fully ready for the responsibility prior to applying.
