Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

Meet Glenda and Lucky! These girls are 14 year old sweet hearts. Glenda (white/brown) weighs 11.30lbs and is a Jack Terrier Mix, Lucky (brown) weighs 16.96lbs and is a Doxie mix.

Lucky and Glenda came to SDR after they had been left alone for 6 months with someone coming in to feed them once a day. Both girls were in rough shape. Both had lost a lot of hair and had bald patches . Lucky’s toe nails were so long that they curled into the pads of her feet. Every step was painful.
Understandably both girls are very timid and apprehensive with new people. Lucky warmed up to her foster mom within a couple weeks and Glenda has warmed up, but is very scared of new people.

Both spend most of their day sleeping. Both are potty pad trained. They need to stay together as they are bonded. Glenda likes to take care of Lucky, licking her ears or face.

They need a calm household with not a lot of people going in or out. They get along great with other dogs but Glenda will chase cats.

Our vet recommends that Lucky stay on a prescription low-fat diet for the remainder of her life. Her values have not completely normalized, so they believe she is going to be
a chronic low-grade pancreatitis patient for the rest of her life. This means that the next owners will have to be very strict about not giving fatty items as treats. Ideally, just fresh fruits and veggies. Lucky had a dental cleaning with extractions and senior bloodwork while in SDR care. Glenda also had a dental cleaning with extractions and senior bloodwork while in SDR care.

Glenda and Lucky's adoption fee is $500 + MN sales tax

- Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philosophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, it must be charged.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
