Story
Meet Miss Faith! She is a rambunctious, smart, sweet puppy. We estimate her to be almost 2 years old. She came to us from a severe neglect case, and was extremely skinny and unsocialized. She has come a long way since she was rescued, but still has a lot of learning to do. She loves her people once she trusts them, but has some insecurities, so slow introductions with people are key. She loves to snuggle, give kisses, and spend time chilling on the couch. She also loves to fetch and go for walks. Essentially, she is a puppy in a 2 year old body, that loves to love but has a lot of world to discover!! By the way she LOVES men, so if you are a guy looking for a new furry companion, she is your girls!!!Faith is curently in a board and train facility in LaCrosse WI (this is where her meet and greet will occur), where they are teaching her to trust new people. She does great with men and will give you a longing look until you decide to come over and say hi. She is slower to meet women, but if you avoid initial eye contact at first, and use her name with treats, she adjusts quickly. She has learned that fellow furry friends are a great thing and LOVES to play! She needs a low energy, confident dog as dogs with aniexty only feed hers. Additionally, we would also recommend a home without young children. She is so powerful, that littles may get knocked over during play time. We think with more training and discipline, she could settle into a home with older kids, but now she just has too much enery behind her love. Ideally, we are looking for a patient, disciplined adopter that can help Faith learn and grow the proper way to associate with her humans and canine friends. We know she can be a champion for her breed, and we want a family that will help her do that. She is a determined, smart, goofy girl that needs boundaries and rules to learn how life works and teach her the tools to be successful! Please at least consider a meeting to see if she is a good fit for you. We think she is truly a diamond in the rough, that deserves to have a loving family! Faith's adoption fee is $475 and will arrive fully vetted, altered, and microchipped. If interested in Faith, please fill out an application at www.newbeganimalrescue.org ##989459##

Story
Are you looking for a buddy who loves to fetch, go for walks and sitting at your feet? A dog who doesn't need training? Axel is a healthy 57lb, 5 year old Rott/Lab cross; mostly black but has the rottie brown feet. He is incredibly sweet and loves the things that most labs do, his people, fetching and toys. He is trained in all of the basics including off/on leash walking, loves to swim and fetch for days. Axel is trusted as free roaming in his home, sleeps in a kennel but often chooses to cuddle with his family as he loves to be with them. Axel's family has older kids, cats and dogs; he has been with them since 6 wks old. Axel has been around many other animals without issue (kennels, other homes, dog parks, etc) but recently Axel has not been getting along with the other dogs in his home and has shown guarding (one person, resources and space). While behaviors are managed, the family is committed to finding a good single dog home for Axel for his comfort and best life.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please help us by fostering  TODAY!!!!! ________________________________________________________ We try to evaluate  most of our adoptable dogs temperament  with a senior UDR rescuer before it goes into a foster home. This helps ensure we place it in the right foster home. We may have some dogs in rescue who are not on our website that we are getting to know and who may need a foster home. Our goal is to place dogs in the right foster and adoptive homes! Of course it is up to the fosters to further evaluate the dogs while they are living in the home.  New arrivals coming soon! We partner with Doberman Rescue of Northern Texas, High Desert Doberman Rescue and many other rescues across the US and world. We have new Dobermans coming in often and have the ability to take in a homeless Dobermans the same day we are contacted should we get a surrender request. We can always use fosters to be on the ready to foster one of these new arrivals!         Please apply on our website to foster, or give a shout out if you can help any of these dogs!! As always fosters get the first chance to adopt! You provide a safe, loving home with daily structure until your foster dog gets adopted. Time frame is anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months. If you have a dog, your dog may like a friend. We try match up the dog with the foster home best suited for each dog in need. UDR supplies all the dog food, some supplies and always pays for vet care. Going on vacation and worried you will have to find a place for your foster dog?? NO worries!!!Know we DO have numerous options for vacation boarding and doing temporary fostering of your foster dog while you take that much needed vacation. We are also in need of short term fosters, those foster homes who would take in a foster dog on a short term basis, a weekend, a week or two, even to help in emergency or medical situations. Please fill out our foster application today and help a dog in need!!!  Fosters get first chance to adopt their foster dogs, so this might be a great way to "test" out your new friend. Fostering has its perks!! Many fosters do join the foster failure club, meaning they end up adopting their foster dog! Why should I foster a dog? Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have (other than adopting, of course). By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re: freeing up a spot so a shelter can take in another dog. giving your foster dog the time he needs to be ready for adoption. helping us learn more about the dog so he can end up in the best home possible. socializing the dog to a home environment and possibly getting him used to being around other pets and different types of people. Thank you for helping us help them! Fostering saves lives. Be a hero, foster a dog in need!

Story
Location: Burbank, SD Meet Jameson aka Jimmy! This sweet boy adores being near a dog friend and is happiest when walking and playing outside. He does well walking on a leash. He absolutely loves ear scratches and naps, and he is quickly learning to be a dog and discovering the joy of toys - especially bully sticks. Jimmy enjoys the company of another dog and will help him to transition at his new home with canine friend who is similar in size. He is guarded at first and does need slow introductions; but with a bit of space, time, and treats, he warms right up! Because he tends to bark and chase after smaller animals, a feline-free household is probably best. A fenced in back yard will be best as he is easily spooked and will be safest for him. He also likes to play ball with the resident 11 year old human but younger children cause him anxiety. Sometimes men make him nervous and favors the females in the home. Jimmy sleeps/stays in a kennel when his foster mom is at work or sleeping. When he wants to go outside he will bark or ring the bells on the door. This gorgeous boy may be shy, but will warm up quickly to his forever family. Jimmy is happy, healthy, and ready to find her forever family. Will it be you? --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Snoop is a 1-year-old neutered purebred, male Doberman, who was surrendered to UDR from the breeder with his two sisters. Snoop tends to be on the shy and timid side but his spirit shines through despite the challenges he has faced. Snoop is very loving with his foster mom and dad and embodies the playful and adventurous essence of puppyhood.  Beneath his lively exterior, Snoop reveals a vulnerability that only serves to deepen the connection with his caring companions.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Location: St Paul, MN Holly was named Honey by her previous family, and it very much suits her! She was unfortunately returned due to no real fault of her own. She can be skittish to loud noises and sudden movements, so a house with small kiddos just wasn't the right fit for her. She has been with us just over a week and is the easiest little sweetheart! She is potty trained, goes in her kennel on her own or when told to "kennel, but we have left her out when we are gone and she's just fine. She lets us know when she has to go outside with her cute little peeps, and comes right back in when called. She loves snuggles and attention, and digs her head under your hand when you stop petting her. She does know some basic commands according to her previous family. She loves our two dogs and is very playful with them. She has been interested in our cats but responds to "leave it very well. We have taken her on walks, and we think she somewhat enjoys them? She's happy when she forgets the world is a little scary, and is okay with cars passing by but could also hear or see something that is intimidating and might cower or jump. If her future home had a fenced in yard that she can explore on her own, that might be best for her. Dog parks might be pretty intimidating for her, but we haven't tried yet. She has been slightly apprehensive with my husband, but he reassures her and she's totally okay with him once he pets her and talks to her. Overall, she has been an incredibly easy foster for us, and we just wish she didn't have to be scared sometimes! She does still jump or cower to unexpected noises or movements, but she's never been reactive and can be called over for pets immediately. We think she would do best in a quiet home with someone who just wants a BFF. She is much warmer to females, but warms up to men eventually. We know there is a perfect home out there for her, and she will be the perfect dog for someone! ----- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
