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

Hi, I’m Phineas

You might notice me right away because of my beautiful tri-color fur—it makes me pretty unique, and I think it tells a little story of all the places I’ve been. I’ve had quite a journey, and because of that, I can be a bit shy and unsure when I first meet new people or find myself in a new place.

But if you give me a little patience and kindness, I promise I’ll show you who I really am. Once I feel safe, I start to come out of my shell and become a more confident, loving companion.

I absolutely love to cuddle—whether it’s snuggled up right next to you or tucked under a cozy blanket where I feel safe and warm. Those quiet moments mean everything to me. And on sunny days? You’ll find me happily relaxing out on the deck, soaking up the sunshine and just enjoying the peace of being home.

What I’m really looking for is a calm, loving forever home where I can continue to build my confidence and feel secure. In return, I’ll give you my whole heart, lots of snuggles, and a loyal companionship that grows stronger every day.

Phineas is estimated to be 10 weeks old and 5.5 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. Terriers come in various sizes and coat types, but they all share a common heritage as fearless and determined hunters. These dogs are typically highly trainable, making them versatile companions for active individuals and families alike. With their loyalty and playful demeanor, terriers are beloved for their endless enthusiasm and affectionate nature.

To create a world where all companion animals are loved, respected and have a home.
