I work at a dog-friendly hotel on the University of Minnesota campus. On busy days, she gets to be the "canine concierge" and walk around the lobby getting pets and love from students and guests. Millie does a lot of the promotional content for our dog-friendly program, which involves posing for pictures and being bribed with treats. She is extremely treat motivated so it doesn't take much! My hope is to volunteer in the Children's Hospital bi-weekly. Millie does really well around children since she is so calm and gentle. I cannot wait to see her in this new role. - Kate 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

Whiskey continues to love life in Northern Minnesota. Although spring was slow on coming (it snowed 4 inches last week) it has finally come, and so the adventuring begins! Even though the water is FREEZING, that hasn't stopped him from going in the lake, although admittedly he may have over-committed on a lean and fallen in the first time! It sure is hard to balance 38 lbs of puppy sometimes! Water fetch is now his favorite game. He went fishing for the first time a few weeks ago and earlier this week he took his first trip into the BWCA. His training is going well and Ruth is starting the long process of getting him certified as a service dog. The biggest challenge will be getting him to listen to another handler as part of the final testing process, because he does NOT like it when she is out of sight. - Ruth & Zach Furever Home Photos

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

Ruby Autumn Puppy Thought you might enjoy seeing a couple updated photos of second pick girl golden, or as we call her, Ruby. We are enjoying her so much! 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

He's still a little social butterfly, he just loves people/dogs and has a calm demeanor when approaching them. When we are at the dog park he runs right up to people, smiles really big, wiggles his behind and rubs on their leg... he’s like hi do you see me... it’s so cute. Its so funny, when we are walking and people approach he will sit down and either wait for them to pass or if OK he will calmly say hi. I’ve never had a puppy that behaves as good as he does. I prepared myself to loose shoes, furniture, have holes in the wall from him trying to eat them, etc... but he really hasn’t done any of those things, he’s hardly wrecked anything. Everyone says he is so beautiful and they mention his big paws. - Danika Furever Home Photos

Words cannot describe how in love we are with our sweet puppy, Finn! He is the sweetest dog we've ever known and has a heart of gold, is mellow yet very attentive. Chris works in HR for a nursing home and long-term care center so we brought Finn in to give his co-workers and residents a little puppy therapy. He was nothing short of amazing, especially with the elderly residents in memory care. We heard multiple times that he would be a great therapy dog someday. Just like his parents, he loves to be close to us and nuzzle our necks, is an extreme cuddler, and gives lots of kisses. We couldn't be happier about it because we were hoping for a very affectionate dog. He loves to play in the snow and chase us around the yard. He is well potty-trained and does well on his leash (loves to carry it in his mouth). - Chris & Sonja Furever Home Photos

This summer we learned that she has a love for swimming, paddle boarding, digging, hammocking and being in the outdoors like us! She also loves working as a service dog and gets really excited to put her working harness on. Here are some pictures of her enjoying her favorite activities. - Autumn Furever Home Photos
