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

Meet Maisie 🐾

Maisie is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart and then makes you laugh five minutes later. She’s a perfect mix of chill and clever, equally happy lounging by your side or figuring out how to gently nudge you into a walk.

She’s communicative in her own sweet way—whether it’s a full-body tail wag when she sees you or her goofy little expressions that somehow say everything. Maisie has a gentle soul, a quirky personality, and just enough lazy energy to make her the ultimate low-key companion.

She’s great on a leash, loves being near her people, and brings a calm, quiet presence to any home—until her goofy side pops out and reminds you not to take life too seriously.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, affectionate, slightly quirky best friend who will adore you with her whole body (literally), Maisie might be your perfect match.

Maisie is estimated to be 3 years old and 30 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/

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 terrier is a spirited and intelligent dog breed known for its feisty personality and boundless energy.

With their loyalty and playful demeanor, terriers are beloved for their endless enthusiasm and affectionate nature.
