Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ranger has the softest eyes and an incredibly sweet personality. If there is one thing Ranger loves most, it is people. This affectionate little guy is always ready to give kisses and would happily spend all day being held and cuddled.

Ranger is playful and loves toys, but he also has a wonderfully gentle side. He enjoys romping around with his brother and playing with other dogs, and he has been very respectful of his foster family’s resident dog when corrected.

He has already met younger children and did great with them, showing just how friendly and people-oriented he is. Ranger and his brother are also great at occupying themselves with toys or playing together.

Ranger has been sleeping great in his x-pen at night and has settled nicely into his foster home routine. He is not potty trained yet, but he is doing an excellent job using his designated potty area inside the pen. As a young puppy, he will thrive with a family ready to guide him through training, playtime, and lots of love.

If you are looking for a sweet, snuggly pup who loves to be close to his people, Ranger may be your perfect little companion.

Ranger is estimated to be 11 weeks old and 12 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.

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.

The retriever is a beloved dog breed known for its friendly demeanor, intelligence, and exceptional ability to retrieve objects.
