My story

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

Hello, I'm Merle! I just moved to Minnesota and am trying to get settled. I have decided that I love the snow and cold. Each time the humans take me out I have to roll in the snow and scratch my back for a full minute before we do anything else! Sometimes when we're outside I get spooked by a car, but the humans help me feel safe. In the house I have decided that I feel the safest when I can sleep in a dogbed that is tucked away from the activity. The humans spend a lot of time by the TV, but I'm scared of that too, so I don't hang out in the living room with them much. I like it when they come sit in my quiet spot and pet me. The humans are giving me all the time and space that I need to feel safe, and they give me lots of great treats. Each day I get a bit more brave. And they assure me that I am the bestest boy, and that I am the softest dog they have ever pet. I have no problem sleeping in my kennel at night or when the humans leave. If you need a soft, sweet hunk of love, I am your guy!

***FOSTER TO ADOPT***
Merle is Heartworm positive and is currently going through treatment. Once his treatment is complete, the adoption can be finalized. Once his adoption is finalized, it is the responsibility of the adoptive family to get a Heartworm test every 2 months to follow up on his treatment progress until he has a negative result which can take 2-9 months. During these months, you will need to make sure his heart rate is not elevated due to high energy play or exercise. Merle will also need continued use of monthly Heartworm prevention going forward. These medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter.
If you are interested in adopting Merle, please fill out an adoption application.
--------------------------------------------
All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.

More about this rescue

The mission of Warrior Dog Rescue is to save the dogs that are homeless, left abandoned in shelters, are surrendered by their owners, those that are being abused and neglected, and those that are left wandering. We are committed to providing them the medical care they need, helping them to overcome their past by providing them loving, educated foster homes, finding them their perfect forever home by means of a thorough adoption process, and guiding them on their journey into their new life. They all deserve a “good dog life… every single one of them.”

Warrior Dog Rescue will be a model rescue by partnering with overcrowded shelters that need to make room for more abandoned dogs. We will continue to educate others about responsible dog ownership in regards to safety, spay/neuter, nutrition, obedience, socializing, abuse, and neglect. We acknowledge that we will have a role in this industry to take the lead on providing awareness to others in the community and across the country. Every dog will know what it feels like to be loved till the end of their life.
