Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Elijah!

Wow this young boy blossomed this week!

He had been in a shelter for a month and has lots of lost time learning how to be a puppy!

Elijah gallops on his klutzy paws with glee playing and exploring. He follows the resident dogs through the yard pursuing a game of chase and tasting springtime!

Elijah is 3 months old and is a champ about going outside to go potty. He sleeps through the night quietly in his crate but would rather snuggle with a person on the couch.

The resident cats are interesting,,but a squeaky toy can easily redirect him.

Elijah is very attentive, smart, athletic , playful and eager. This growing pup is filled with excitement and enthusiasm for life.

Elijah will offer a household love, laughter and unconditional companionship. Meet him and he will steal your heart.

Elijah is estimated to be 11 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/
