He has grown SO much since we picked him up in July. We can’t even really remember what it was like without him in our family. He’s healthy, in “kindergarten”, loves to play, be outside, take walks and snuggle. He thinks that socks, mittens, kitchen towels, toilet paper and undies are a real treat so we are always on his case about what is food or toys and what isn’t! He definitely tries to play us. He is very good at “sit,” “come,” and is learning how to “wait” and “leave it” (see the list of unavailable items above…we are getting a LOT of practice with “leave it”). He lets us know when it’s time for a bathroom break, and has figured out his crate is a safe and comfy place. - Alison Furever Home Photos

Lakota English Golden Retriever Introducing Lakota, our stunning English Golden Retriever boasts a charming blocky head, a sturdy build, and a beautiful light cream coat. With a delightful disposition and a patient, affectionate personality, Lakota is a joy to be around. Quick to learn and eager to please, he's a breeze to train. As a spirited young Golden, Lakota thrives in the great outdoors, reveling in trail runs and frolics with our other Goldens. When he's not exploring, he's happiest cuddled up close to his beloved humans.

She is a beautiful, sweet, smart, and sassy little girl. We love watching her grow and her personality develop. Ellie loves belly rubs, learning new tricks, short walks, playing fetch, and ALL people and animals. She has been a joy and bright light in our lives after losing our first dog last October. I'm so thankful for Ellie every day. (November Update): Ellie is growing like a weed. She's 55 lbs of playful, and goofy. She loves to play fetch, eat ice cubes, cuddle in bed, sleep on her back, explore the backyard, and greet everyone who walks by. She's the most popular dog in our neighborhood; everyone knows her by name. - Kaitlyn & Dwight Furever Home Photos

She is so unbelievably calm and patient! Chloe made it through the long winter in Bemidji. She didn’t really like wearing her little boots though. Chloe LOVES swimming, we’ve spent a ton of time with her at the cabin this summer. We get tons of compliments on how calm and incredibly good looking she is! She has the cutest smile and eyebrows too! Her puppy eyes are extremely hard to say no to. Training her wasn’t too hard, she picked up everything very quickly. She is so smart and loves meeting new people. We couldn’t imagine life without her! - Brady & Greta Furever Home Photos

Maverick Akaysha Puppy Maverick has been easy to train, enjoys meeting new people & other nice dogs, and has a great calm temperament. She gets excited about outdoor sights/smells (especially leaves blowing in the wind & rabbits running) and always wants to go towards the water when we walk on trails around lakes. We enjoy being outside & love seeing how much fun she has exploring! She is a healthy, happy puppy and fills each day with such joy! - Rachel Furever Home Photos

She loved to play ball and has learned how to fetch and return. She loves tennis balls and recently got her first bird toy. She has learned to sit and stay. Ruby will get to participate in a puppy school in July to learn some more basic commands. She is crate trained and we are proud to be accident free! We are so thankful that we have Ruby in our lives and cannot wait for summer fun! - Michelle Furever Home Photos

Goose Willow Puppy We adopted one of the golden puppies and just wanted to say thank you. He has brought lots of love and chaos into our lives and we are enjoying every minute of it. We named him Goose. He is growing so fast and is so very smart. Seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home and now he weighs 60 lbs. He is doing great, loves going for walks and lives to fetch. His personality is so funny and so sweet. Thank you again for letting us adopt this lovable bundle of fur. - Maureen & Ross Furever Home Photos
