Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Looking for foster or adopter for these 2 bonded Huskies: The following is from the owner: Looking for a loving forever home for Coco & Hunter! It breaks my heart to have to make this post, but due to a change in our home situation and work life, we are looking for a new home for our two beautiful purebred Siberian Huskies, Coco and Hunter — and they need to stay together! ❤️ Coco is a sweet girl born 12/14/2018, and Hunter is our handsome boy born 8/5/2019. They are both incredibly sweet, loving dogs who love attention, cuddles, and being around their people. They are great with kids and other large dogs, but would do best in a home without small dogs. They LOVE being outside, playing in the snow, going on adventures, and, of course, being Huskies, they absolutely love to serenade the neighborhood with their songs . They are definitely vocal and have plenty of personality! Both Coco and Hunter are spayed/neutered. We are looking for a loving, responsible family who can give them the time, attention, activity, and love they deserve. We really want them to find a home together and as soon as possible. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and we want nothing more than for them to have a wonderful life filled with love and attention. ❤️ If you would like to learn more, please submit an interest form on our website:    https://redemptionroadrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/ If you are viewing this listing on PETFINDER there is often MORE INFO ON and MORE PICS OF the animal DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE. http://redemptionroadrescue.rescuegroups.org *Adoption fees range from $525-$650, depending on the individual animal* redemptionroad.mn@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionRoadRescue  All animals fully vetted appropriate for age: spayed/neutered, rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine, 4DX test (@8 months or older), microchipped with lifetime registration, dewormed, flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention.  *Since we typically don't know a rescue dogs actual genetics, their breed and estimated size when grown on their bio is just an educated guess based on information and observations we have.*  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 2, 2026, 2:42 am

Story
Meet Todd! With ears sharp enough to pick up the sound of a treat bag from three rooms away, you'd think this guy would be ready for adventure. Nope. This shy, quiet dude is taking life at his own pace, and so far, that pace mostly involves lounging around and minding his own business. Todd isn't looking to be the life of the party, just a comfy spot to land and someone who appreciates a professional-level chill guy. He does well with cats, dogs, very good on lead, house trained, goes right back into his kennel. His energy level is described as low (and I agree! He's very chill.)

Tink

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 2 mos
Wadena, MN
Size

Story
Tink is a small bundle of joy with a personality much bigger than her size. This sweet little girl is always wiggling with excitement, especially when she knows she’s about to get attention. She absolutely adores belly rubs and will happily roll right over to soak up all the love you’re willing to give. Tink thrives on affection and wants nothing more than to be close to her people. One of her cutest traits is the little grunts she makes when she’s especially happy or content, which only adds to her charm. She would make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a loving, snuggly best friend. Staff reports that she is good with cats (although, a little frightened of them,) good with other dogs, very good on a lead, appears to be house trained but will excitement piddle, and will go easily into her kennel so we assume kennel trained. Her energy level is medium.
