Board Of Animal Health Kennel License We are dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats left homeless for whatever reason – focusing on the ones with major medical issues or of senior age. These are the ones that are usually overloo

ked because they are not “highly adoptable.” They are also the ones that cost the most to the organizations. We believe they are the most in need of help! We place dogs and cats in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog or cat into their homes and lives. Taking in major medical cases and senior animals means that they will likely have more care needed life long. We make sure that they are placed in homes that are able to financially and physically care for them long term. Animals in our care are all spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs and cats in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs and cats in the greatest need take priority. We have partnered with some of the best and the brightest in the Veterinary Medical field and we are committed to giving every animal in our care the best chance at a happy forever. We do not shy away from unconventional routes and are always looking for ways to push forward the medical advances for animals. From fish skin grafts on trauma cases, to prosthetics for amputees, to FIP treatments that save lives as never before, we will make sure every option is exhausted for our major medical cases. Many animals that would have immediately been euthanized in the shelter, now have a chance to live and thrive with their varied medical conditions. We never euthanize animals due to space or time constraints, but we may elect to euthanize in the event of a severe, untreatable/debilitating illness or extremely dangerous behavioral concerns. Because we do not kill to make space, however, we cannot take in every animal that needs help. Current adoptable pets can be found on our website as well as our Petfinder link https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?query_id=A4F0C158-715A-11E7-8DF1-83FBF62E21C6&page_number=0

🐾💗 **MEET JAWCELYN!** 💗🐾

Well folks, this sweet girl has quite the story to tell… although unfortunately, **she can’t tell us what happened.** 🥺

Introducing **Jawcelyn**, a beautiful 4-month-old Lab mix who came to us with a **fractured lower jaw**. She was living in a homeless encampment and was ultimately surrendered to animal control when no one was able to provide her with the care she needed.

We may never know exactly how Jawcelyn ended up with a broken jaw, and honestly, we're just thankful she ended up in the right hands. ❤️

Thankfully, her fracture did **not require surgery**! Her treatment consisted of time, lots of TLC, appropriate soft food, and absolutely **NO TOYS** while that little jaw healed. And heal it did! 🥰

Jawcelyn is now **almost completely healed** and is ready to start the next chapter of her life — one where she never has to wonder where her next meal is coming from or whether someone will take care of her.

And let us tell you… this girl is **SWEET.** 💗

Jawcelyn gets along with everyone and has one of those personalities that makes you wonder how anyone could ever resist her. She is loving, happy, affectionate, and just an all-around wonderful puppy. 🐶

She doesn't care that her start in life was anything but easy. She's ready to put all of that behind her and focus on the important things: **snuggles, adventures, belly rubs, and finding her forever family!** 🏡💕

Now we need YOUR help finding the people who will love Jawcelyn for the rest of her life.

She deserves a family who will look at this incredibly sweet girl and see not the broken jaw she came in with, but the **beautiful, resilient little soul she has become.** 💗

🐾 **Jawcelyn — 4 months old**
🐾 **Lab mix**
🐾 **Almost completely healed**
🐾 **Friendly with everyone**
🐾 **Sweet as can be**
🐾 **Ready for her forever home!**

If you're looking for a puppy who has already proven just how resilient she is, **Jawcelyn may be your girl!** 💕

📋 Applications can be found at **rpaw.org**
Adoption fee is $450

Let's find this little survivor the happily-ever-after she deserves! 🏡🐾💗

Hi, my name is Drac, short for Dracula because of the handsome tuxedo I wear.
I am about 5 months old
But despite my name I’m as sweet and lovable as can be. I love long naps, sometimes in the sink! And of course cuddle time and chin scratches too. I like to play with string toys and am a sucker for treats. If you have lots of pets to give and treats to spare, I’m your guy!

Adoption fee is $200

Hi, my name is Nile.
I am about 5 months old.
I started out wary of humans but boy, now I realize what I was missing! I’m a lovable guy, warm pets are so great and I love to turn my purr motor into high gear when I’m getting attention. More chin scratches please!

I like to spend time fiercely chasing hair binders as my prey and sometimes I’ll even fetch and return them to you. I like treats of all kinds and am as handsome as can be with cool stripes on my belly. Adopt me, you won’t regret it!

Meet Sprocket: the most easy going, friendly, and confident cat you’ll ever find.

Sprocket was brought to animal control after being hit by a car and breaking her pelvis. She recovered with months of rest and no surgery, and is now completely unphased about the entire ordeal. While at the clinic, Sprocket also received a dental with full extractions, so she will need to be fed wet food for the rest of her life - a small accommodation to make to see her cute little tongue blep every day! (She’d like it noted here that her favorite is “any flavor of Fancy Feast”.)

To Sprocket, cats are just future friends, 70 lbs dogs are just big objects to rub up against, and new homes are just unexplored spaces waiting to be discovered. Nothing seems to bother this girl. But her absolute favorite is human cuddles. Pick her up and her little purr motor will hum for hours.

At ten years of age, she is often found on a plush pillow or cat bed, taking a beauty snooze. But she will perk up as soon as pets are offered or a toy is thrown.

Sprocket is about the sweetest girl you will meet. She will fit in easily in any home!

Adoption fee is $150

Roy Kent is on the pitch and ready to score his one and only goal: your heart!

This young man may give off serious gruff-and-grump energy, but underneath that tough exterior is a total melt with his humans. Roy is a devoted people-lover who lives for lap time, biscuit-making, and being your handsome, furry shadow.

Rooooooy Kent is what we call an “excited napper.” He’s eager to participate in every match, supervise every household activity, dramatically flop onto your lap… and then immediately take a snooze. He’d make an excellent work-from-home coworker or retirement companion.

Roy likes being the star player, so he may do best as a single kitty or with a calm, confident feline sibling after slow and careful introductions. Dogs? Untested.

As the final member of the Diamond Dogs, Roy Kent is everything you want in a feline shadow — gruff, loyal, secretly sweet, and absolutely convinced he’s in charge.

If you think Roy Kent might be a good fit for your team, come visit him at PetSmart in the Quarry!

Every great movie has a beginning. Some start with a hero. Some start with a plot twist. And some… begin on a dark night at a rural Minnesota drive-in, with two tiny kittens who had already been through more than any kitten should. That’s where the story of Zero and Honey begins!

Meet Zero — a gorgeous white boy with enormous blue eyes and a heart-melting personality.

Zero started life as a skittish and wary kitten, but he discovered that humans are pretty great. Now, pick him up and he melts into your arms, and one look in his direction is enough to start the purring soundtrack to his life. He’s sweet, affectionate, playful, and absolutely convinced that being loved is his full-time job.

Zero has grown up alongside Honey, and the two are quite the duo — playing, wrestling, chasing anything that moves, and then curling up together when the action is over. He’s also comfortable around other cats and dogs. Zero’s dream ending is a forever home — ideally one where his best friend Honey can join him for the next chapter!

Meet Honey — a sweet-as-pie little action star with a look all her own!

This gorgeous tabico appears to have been customized by the costume department, complete with one fabulous red leg. Honey is full of personality and LOVES to play. Give her a toy and she’s off — stalking, chasing, pouncing, and attacking with the determination of a future Oscar winner for Best Mouser.

When she’s not busy starring in her own action scenes, Honey is affectionate, playful, and happy to hang out with her favorite humans. She’s also comfortable around other cats and dogs. Honey has shared every adventure with her brother Zero, and they make an adorable pair. Her ideal happily-ever-after would include Zero by her side, but she’s ready to find her forever family either way.

Adoption fee for the pair is $400

ARE YOU GOING TO THE STATE FAIR THIS YEAR???

This year, the Minnesota Senate State Fair poll includes the following question:
"Should Minnesota ban pet shops from selling dogs and cats while continuing to allow pet shops to host adoption events for animals from shelters or rescue organizations?"

If you're attending the Minnesota State Fair, please stop by the Minnesota Senate booth in the Education Building and vote "YES" on Question 3.

Legislation to prohibit the sale of puppies in pet shops is expected to be considered again in 2027. A strong show of support at the State Fair can help demonstrate that Minnesotans want lawmakers to take action to stop the puppy mill pipeline and protect animals and consumers.

Nakia is making a bakery full of biscuits this morning while waiting to see the Neurologist 🍞

Nakia joined us from animal control after losing the use of her back legs. She was found as a stray and slowly lost function and the finders knew they couldn't care for her.

We are here today to see if there is anything we can do to regain the function!
