Hound and Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Jessa!

This beautiful girl will steal your heart. She has wiggles and kisses for every person she meets!

Jessa LOVES playing with the neighborhood kids, and she holds her own wrestling with our big family dog. She also enjoys toys and playing tug with her sisters. Jessa takes long naps and quietly sleeps through the night in her pen. She’s still just a baby, and is working on her potty-training..

Jessa will thrive in a home that is ready for the joys (and responsibilities!) of raising a puppy — including training, patience, and plenty of playtime.

Jessa is estimated to be 10 weeks old and 8 1/2 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!

Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/
You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance. We hope to see you at an upcoming Meet & Greet!

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.
