My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Nimkii, the Thunder Pup!
This spunky 8-week-old male puppy is a delightful mix of hound and bully breeds, with a dash of shepherd thrown in for good measure! Nimkii, whose name means "thunder" in Ojibwa, is a whirlwind of playful energy and sweet cuddles. He loves to explore his world, chasing toys and snuggling up in a warm blanket with his favorite human.
Nimkii is a social butterfly who thrives on human interaction. He's currently living with three larger dogs and two cats, demonstrating his adaptability and friendly nature. He's eager to learn and is already working hard on his potty training and crate training.
Nimkii has a small umbilical hernia that will be addressed when he is neutered in March. This minor condition won't hinder his playful spirit or his ability to become a cherished member of your family.
Are you ready to welcome the thunder into your life? Nimkii is looking for an active and loving home where he can continue to grow and explore. He's sure to bring endless joy and laughter to his forever family.

Nimkii’s adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue’s care.
We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.northernlakesrescue.org

Additional adoption info

Northern Lakes Rescue wants to make adopting your next pet the best experience you have in adopting a pet. When you see a animal you are interested, in we encourage you to email us at info@northernlakesrescue.org with what dog you are interested in.

NLR is 100% volunteer run, and we do our best to respond within 48 hours to all email inquiries regarding adoptions.

All adoptions will require an application, home visit, personal and vet references and a meet and greet. Our adoption fees range from $300-425 depending on the dog.
All dogs over 6 months of age will be spay/neutered, vaccinated to age and micro-chipped. Puppies being adopted will require a spay/neuter and vaccine contract.

Finalizing an adoption includes signing a contract and paying the adoption fee.

Go meet their pets

Northern Lakes Rescue is foster based so all dogs are being fostered by amazing volunteers across the state of MN. Because of this, we require all meet and greets to be scheduled after an application is submitted.

Our focus after you apply is to get you scheduled to meet the dog within 3 to 7 days.

More about this rescue

Our Vision is to be a voice for those who are voiceless. We hear them with our hearts and give them a voice. Looking into the eyes of a rescued animal will speak volumes; watching those eyes light up will have an everlasting impact on you and the rescued animals.

We aren’t a typical rescue as we don’t take in dogs and put them in kennels until they’re adopted. All dogs we rescue are placed in loving foster homes that teach them to be the best dog they can be.

Our journey doesn’t end with adoption, either. We are here for you to support you in integrating your new member into your home, cheer new triumphs, and help with struggles.
