Hi y’all! I’m a sweet Southern pup who made my way from sunny Alabama up to the land of 10,000 lakes — and let me tell you, I’m loving this whole snow situation. I may have traded biscuits for hotdish, but I’ve brought all my warm, affectionate charm with me!

I’m a loving, cuddly companion who believes there’s no such thing as too many belly rubs. Kids? Love ’em. Other dogs? Let’s be friends! I’m happiest when I’m part of the action, whether that’s exploring a new trail, sniffing out a park adventure, or tagging along for a weekend road trip. I’ve got a curious nose and a brave heart — Minnesota, I’m ready for you!

I’m crate trained (I like having my own cozy space), and I’m a very good listener... especially if you happen to be holding a treat. I’m highly treat-motivated — you’ve got snacks, I’ve got skills. It’s a win-win!

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who will shower you with love, keep up on adventures, and maybe need a little help picking out a winter sweater, I’m your dog. Let’s explore this big, beautiful world together!

If you are interested in meeting me, please complete an application. I look forward to meeting you very soon!

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

Our Mission: We successfully rescue animals from animal impound, high kill facilities, owner surrenders, cruelty cases, strays, and puppy mills...
