Husky and Great Pyrenees Dogs Available for Adoption in Brainerd, Minnesota

Meet Casper - the friendly floof

Unlike the ghost... this Casper is VERY real, VERY fluffy, and VERY committed to haunting your house with zoomies, toy explosions, and dramatic nap positions.

But true to his name, Casper is all sweetness. No scares here - just puppy kisses, fluffy cuddles, and chaotic baby energy. He spends his days playing hard, learning how to be a well-mannered gentleman, and then immediately crashing out like paying bills is exhausting.

Casper is dog and cat friendly and has the sweetest, gentlest little soul. He hasn't met kids yet, but with his happy-go-lucky personality, we think he'll do just fine.

This friendly little ghost is officially searching for his forever home.

This happy little boy was found wandering in Oklahoma alongside two siblings and an adult female husky who is believed to not even be his mom - but she still took him in and stayed by his side. Sadly, one sibling ran off and another was hit by a car, leaving just Casper and his adopted husky protector behind.

Casper's adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue's care.
We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website.
