Astrid is a 4 month female Pointer mix puppy seeking a home who understands the need for daily exercise, daily training, and so much love. Likely a single puppy (meaning she is learning how puppies interact, which shows as using her mouth more often for play), she is incredibly smart and highly responsive to training. She is doing very well with house training and kennel training. Astrid does well with kids, other dogs, and has been fostered with cats. We are seeking a home who walks/runs daily, will commit to training classes, and wants a sidekick to go places with them. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com

Atticus is a middle aged to senior mixed breed, about 45 pounds, who has a tough past but he sure doesn't show it. Atticus came from Mexico and was badly hurt, left to heal on his own. He had a broken pelvis and broken leg that healed on it's own. He is pain free, but sometimes moves a little funny as the bones healed together at different lengths.  Maybe that's why he enjoys a soft bed and a warm loving home so very much. He is always happy. He loves to chase the squirrels and enjoys watching the birds at the bird feeder.  He doesn’t bark or growl at the birds, he just sits on the couch and watches them like it's dog TV. He likes to lay on the couch and will cuddle with you if you invite him. He loves to sleep in bed with his fosters as well, no matter how little space there is- there is always space for him, in his opinion. Atticus is a smart dog who responds very well to training. He enjoys other dogs, meeting people, and plays well with others. He is well house trained and crates when alone, although is graduating to more free reign then also. He's just a very good boy who deserves his own home. He's past due for it. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions.

Gemma and Benny are a very attached, bonded, mother and son duo seeking a home together. They do everything as a pair... sleep, play, eat, etc. Gemma likes attention on her terms, she will come to you for pets but prefers you wait until she asks. Benny likes attention and play anytime you want to have a cat spend time with you. This pair is used to an adult quieter home without other pets, and we are seeking the same type of forever home for them... adult, no other pets. They reliably use the litter box and the sisal rope scratcher. Gemma and Benny will give hours of entertainment and love. Please do the application at www.homewardboundrescue.com/application/cat

Bowie is a Beagle with some baggage. Cute as can be, this young adult Beagle has a lot of Beagle traits (the bay, the enthusiasm for long sniffing walks, the passion for food, and wily smarts) but came to us with some serious resource guarding issues. He went through behavior rehab and is doing wonderfully, but without an experienced dog owner will revert back. He used to guard food, items he thought were his, and his sleeping space, and would react with a bite. At this point, in foster care, he allows us to handle him all over, take food and treats away, and move him. He needs an experienced owner to continue boundaries, training, and kind firmness. We adore him, we have no issues right now (except with cats, he hates cats). Bowie is house trained, crated when alone, loves walks, would do best with a fenced outside area, and we are highly recommending continued training classes. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com if you can give Charlie a great home. You can get a head start on the process by filling out the application above.

Bumble is a solid bodied four-year-old German Shepherd and Akita mix ( best guess) with a dopey, sweet, loving personality. This dog has definitely had someone put training time into him in the past and we wish we knew what happened. He came to us missing some hair, likely from allergies that we are working with and he is on a low-dose thyroid medication that runs about $30 a month. He also came to us very reliably house trained, walks like a dream on the leash, and knows more commands than most of our own dogs. He crates very well when left alone and respects a baby gate. Bumble absolutely loves food and would sell his soul for treats. He’s fostered with dogs ranging from Chihuahua to lab size, and also lives with cats. He sometimes will give one of the cats a side eye, but has never made an attempt to hurt it. We also very rarely hear him bark
One of his favorite games is gently mouthing your hands while you wrestle with his head, or bringing a giant rope toy to drop in your lap. He loves car rides and rides very well. We’re looking for a home with a yard and somebody who loves to go for walks because that’s his favorite time of day. As you can see, he’s also used to getting on the couch.
Because of the breed mix, we are requiring a homeowner and verification of that
Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions. If you think your home may be a good fit for Bumble, please fill out an application at www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

ChaCha is a 7 year old female Chihuahua seeking a home who loves Chihuahuas. She is social and outgoing, loves walks, loves laps and attention. ChaCha is house trained and kennel trained, but in a new setting was having some excited dribbles happening, so we expect she will in a new home as well. She is good with other pets but does need to be fed in her crate-- food is not for sharing, in her opinion. She is a fun and loving little dog. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions. If you think your home may be a good fit for ChaCha, please fill out an application at www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Cooper is available 12/14. Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Please read entire bio. 

Requirements: physically fenced yard (no exceptions), another active dog, herding breed experience. Someone looking for a dog with agility/rally potential.

Are you an active family looking for a high energy pup to keep up with your lifestyle? Looking specifically for a dog with agility, obedience, or scent work potential? Then look no further. Diesel is a young Border Collie/Sheltie/Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) who is searching for a family who is willing to help him reach his full potential. We expect Diesel to mature to around 30lbs based on his current size. He is food/toy/treat motivated and is eager to learn. He has a relatively high drive when it comes to play, and could play fetch for hours if he could, and always has a toy in his mouth. He is always on the go, and always looking for his next adventure. Diesel needs a home who is specifically looking for an active, high energy dog to train and someone who understands and has previous experience with everything a high energy herding breed comes with (mental and physical stimulation are very important). Diesel is housebroken and crate trained, and is fostered with other dogs, cats, and kids and loves everyone. He is a little nervous meeting new people when in new situations, but once he feels comfortable, he is ready to rock. Diesel does need a home with a physically fenced in yard, he is not the kind of dog who would do well on a tie out/leashed, and he is a runner if he gets loose. A secure fence is important, as he will escape if possible. Another young, energetic dog in the home, as he spends a majority of his time actively playing and wrestling with the other dogs in his foster home. Diesel would do best in a busy home and he thrives being on the go, always. Someone who is up for a training a high energy dog and has experience doing so. He also loves to swim. We have a 2 week trial on all adoptions. If you think your home may be a good fit for Diesel, please fill out an application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Emmy is a Lab/ German shepherd mix, 3 years old. Emmy loves to snuggle and also thinks she is a lap dog. She has an easygoing, go with the flow nature, but also loves to play(like a toddler)- especially with her stuffed squirrel.

She does live with another dog but doesn’t care for random dogs out and about. 
She lives with 3 kids she adores. She loves them a lot and loves to be by their side, especially to get those belly rubs and butt scratches. Once she finds a comfy spot on some blankets and pillows when she sleeps or naps she will snore away!

❄️✨ A Little Holiday Magic From Hopscotch ✨❄️

On snowy December mornings, when the world is quiet and cozy, a tiny bit of holiday magic comes trotting through the house—Hopscotch, the 16-lb Boston Terrier mix who believes wholeheartedly that he’s Santa’s smallest (and most dramatic) helper.

This little guy is a mama’s boy through and through, happiest when he’s tucked in close or being carried around like the baby reindeer he insists he is. He’s shy with new people—especially men—but never scared, just politely unsure until he warms up.

Hopscotch is still learning the art of housetraining (adulting is hard, even at the North Pole), but he makes up for it with charm, silliness, and the cutest little play vocals you’ve ever heard. His wrestling sessions with his bestie Torie sound like festive gremlins celebrating in the next room.

🎁 Holiday Magic Powers:
✨ Can turn any human into a certified baby-wearer (he loves being carried like a tiny prince)
✨ Performs “shy but charming” around new men… unless you’re Mom, in which case he’s glued to your hip
✨ Working hard on housetraining (adulting is a journey, not a destination)

This season, Hopscotch is hoping for a home where he can wiggle into someone’s heart, curl up under the twinkle lights, and bring a little more warmth to the winter.

Because every holiday needs a little magic… and Hopscotch has plenty to spare. 🎄✨🐾 Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Sourpuss is a grumpy tiny little cat who is angry at how her life turned out so far. We first saw her crammed into a carrier with multiple kittens being given away to anyone who would take them, and later discovered dumped outside an area apartment building after they couldn't give them all away. She and her tiny kittens were rescued, but she is NOT used to the chaos and noise of rescue. She's a tiny little cat, about 6 pounds, tiger with beautiful big white patches. She is spayed and vaccinated and healthy and ready for a quiet home. Sourpuss is tolerant of the other cats, hates the dogs, hides when kids come over, and we had to wait for pets until it was on her terms. She politely keeps her claws sheathed when she swipes, and has stopped swiping us and grudgingly enjoys the pets, but in this busy environment she is unhappy and craving a calm, quiet home who will give her a little space and let her love them as she settles. We feel positively that she will start to seek affection in a dog free, kid free home. Sourpuss would love a foster or adopter. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com

This gentle girl is happiest in a calm, quiet home where she can lounge on the couch, sunbathe, and play in a yard. She is currently very much enjoying leash walks and does know how to use a dog door as well. She sure makes herself right at home on the couch. Tallulah is well house trained, loves her crate as a secure and comfortable space, and rarely barks. We know based on her microchip that she was in an apartment for most of her life. She is afraid of some men, absolutely adores some. She is nervous with new dogs and although tolerant, she avoids them when possible and would probably do best in a home with  a calm older male dog, or as a single. She is respectfully living with a cat right now. When she gets scared, she tries to bolt for home, so needs an adopter strong enough to manage her on leash if she gets scared. She's a homebody at heart, a goofy companion dog looking for love.  Lula loves her toys and is puppy like when she plays with them. It appears as though she previously broke her pelvis and it healed on it's own. Her back legs are a bit wobbly. This could potentially be corrected with surgery in the future, but right now she is pain free and runs like the wind when she is playing. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions.

Tank is a 3 year old Yellow Lab seeking a new home due to the dynamics in his family changing. He has been raised with kids, a cat, and other dogs. Tank is an active dog who would benefit from some continued leash and obedience training, but he has a heart of gold, and has fun everywhere he goes. Tank is house trained, kenneled when left alone, and loves to play fetch. He shares the couch like a champ and is ready to go on adventures with his new owner. If you have an active lifestyle and want a dog to join you, please consider him! Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Tank is a 3 year old neutered Yellow Lab who adores kids, lives with a crabby older cat and another dog, and has joy and energy to spare. He has so much potential, but has not been worked with a lot, so an ideal adoptive home is someone who can commit to daily walks and some obedience training. He is so, so eager to learn. Tank loves fetch. He is house trained and does need a secure crate when alone or he chews. Tank is seeking a new home due to changing circumstances within his family, who sure has loved him.

This holiday season, while other pups are dreaming of treats and toys, little Torie is discovering her true winter magic.
Because the moment the first snowflake hits the ground, this 6-month-old German Shepherd/Corgi pixie transforms into… The Snow Sprite of Minnesota.

She twirls. She prances. She zooms in sparkling circles—so enchanted by the snow swirling around her that she sometimes forgets she went outside to potty. (Snow magic waits for no one.)

Her charm doesn’t end there:

✨ A shy girl with a glowing heart.
Torie takes her time with new people and new dogs, but once you’re in her circle, she loves you with quiet, devoted warmth—like a candle glowing in a frosty window.

✨ A tiny enchantress with big personality.
Yes, this is the same Torie who watches Hell’s Kitchen with rapt fascination, especially the moments when Chef Ramsay gets beeped. Her sense of humor? Immaculate.

✨ Petite & perfect-for-anywhere.
Just 18 lbs at 6 months, she’ll stay on the smaller side—a perfect companion for snowy walks, cozy coffee runs, and holiday adventures.

✨ Learning her spells.
She potties outside (as long as she remembers she’s there for business), sleeps quietly in her crate at night, rides well in the car, and has been polite around cats.

This winter, Torie isn’t wishing for mountains of presents—just a warm home, patient hearts, and a snowy yard where she can dance like the little winter sprite she is.

All she wants is a family to share her very first Howlidays with. ❄️🎁💛

Truffle is an adolescent male tabby and white kitty who was born on the streets of Minneapolis, and taken into foster care as a kitten. He is an active, playful, treat motivated young cat who will be a little shy and cautious at first with new people and a new place, but comes around with promises of food and toys. Truffle loves other cats and spending time being a playmate and companion to them. His ideal home would have at least one playful cat, if not more. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com.
