The Pyrenean breed is very large, its weight can be from 120 to 165 lbs full grown. Bear will need a lot of grooming, and exercise. Would do well in a home that has plenty of space for him to meander. Being a guard dog comes natural to his breed and because of this it is important to socialize him to people, other dogs, and noises. Put in the right home, Bear will be obedient and loyal to your family for years.

Brodie:  2 year old male Beagle

Weight: 16 pounds

The Beagle is a very social dog, and loves the company of both people and other canines. If left alone for long periods of the day they may become mischievous, so having a pair of beagles, or another companion canine is probably a good idea. Brodie has been friendly with most of the dogs he has been introduced to here at the shelter, and cats are not an issue. He is independent for the most part, but listens well when treats are in the picture. Brodie will become stressed in a loud, high-energy environment, so it is important that you are able to ease him into a situation so that he will become comfortable. He came from a house with seven other dogs, so he needs a little more socialization and TLC. An ideal home would be someone who could give him lots of attention, and another companion animal. He does shed a little, so regular brushings, and a bath now and then would take care of the coat care.

Carter:  9 month old male Terrier Mix

Weight: 45 pounds

These dogs came in from the Lake George area as strays. Our best guess is that they are a Terrier mix. They were very shy upon arrival, but as they have had continuous interaction with the staff and volunteers they are showing that they are very gentle, yet playful puppies. They most likely spent a lot of time kenneled with one another, and because of this they are most comfortable when with other canines. They have been kid tested, and are good with cats.  The time they have spent with the staff they have seemed to be very intelligent and laid back.  Because of their longer coat, grooming will have to be done a couple times a year. It will also be important for prospective owners to give these dogs outdoor time, so that they can burn off energy and stay happy, healthy and obedient indoors.

Daria is a Black Lab mix that came in as a stray from the Park Rapids area. She is affectionate to people, and gets along with most dogs and cats maker her curious. She is being treated from lymes disease at the moment, and as her treatment comes along, her true personality is coming out, and she is just a nice and happy go lucky dog. Her coat is short, and therefore requires less grooming than the traditional black lab, but it would do her well to have weekly brushings. Any size family would work well for her, but she does need to have daily exercise.

Weight: 51.6 pounds

May is a sweet, affectionate girl who has made a lot of progress in the 6 months that she has been in foster care.  We are working on house manners and walking nice on a leash.  She does well while crated, but she loves the time out of the crate to play and explore.  She would do best with an experienced owner who has the time to help her to be a good dog.  She does well with some other dogs, and needs daily exercise!  She would do well in agility or any activity that would keep her busy and help her burn off her excess energy.  She is able to jump over a 4-foot fence, so a high fenced-in yard is a must.  If you would like to meet her, please contact the shelter.

Pongo is a Boarder Collie mix, and gets his good looks from his mother Paisley. If he takes after her, he will be a very smart, athletic dog. He is just a puppy now, but is already crate trained, and would be doing very well in a home that could give him attention and training. He will have a lot of energy to burn up, and his coat will need plenty of attention. An active family, or someone who has the time and know how to train him would be ideal for this pup.

I don’t mind cats around to keep me company, and most other dogs get along with me. I would love if you have kids, because they love to play and so do I. I love treats, so if you want me to learn something, starting there is a good option. Trimming my nails and a good brushing would make me look good and keep me happy.

Weight: pounds

The golden retriever breed is a gentle and loyal one. Sonny is very well mannered, but craves attention from people. Gets along well with other dogs, and shows no sign of aggression.

Stevie:  1 1/2 year old male Lab/Pointer Mix

Weight: 55 pounds
 

Stevie has been at the shelter for a few months and has recently been in foster care.  At the shelter he is very active, but once in the foster home he settled down and has become quite the gentlemen.  His only accident has been when his foster person has left him in for far to long.   Outside his favorite thing to do is to chase squirrels up a tree and bark to let you know he has it.  He is easily redirected away from this by simply calling his name.   He loves to cuddle and is very much wants to be part of the family.   Jumping up when you return home is his main fault but he is learning that this is not the way to greet someone.

If you would like to meet Stevie please call to make arrangements for hime to be at the shelter.

Tiny:  3 years 4 month old male Beagle

Weight: 21 pounds

Tiny is a very happy, and pines for companionship with people and other canines. If left alone for long periods he may become mischievous, so having a pair of beagles, or another companion for him at home would be a good idea. Tiny is a little more outgoing than Brodie is, and may need to learn about boundaries. Socializing him, and training him will be a priority of any potential owner. Tiny came from the same home as Brodie, and some extra TLC would be good for him too.
He does shed a little, so regular brushings, and a bath now and then would take care of the coat care.
