Meet Watson, The Lovable energetic full of personality, little Shih Tzu and Bichon freeze mix.
Watson came to us with his brother Bentley at no fault of their own when their owner was required to move to an assisted living facility and could not take her boys with her.
Watson is a neutered male that is heartworm negative, parvo/ giardia/ coccidia negative and is current on vaccines other than his rabies which he is scheduled to get on 7/1726. We have microchipped in and started his monthly preventative for heartworm and flea and ticks. We are looking for a home that is active. That'll take him for walks, maybe have a fence yard to run around or at least be responsible and have him leashed when he is outside as he does have tendencies to run off if not confined in some way. Watson has been around children 12 years and older that are familiar with small breed dogs, he's also good around other dogs and he has a curiosity of cats but he is not aggressive in any way. He just has had very limited exposure to them.
We are taking inquiries and setting up appointments for after his rabies is boosted to hopefully find him his forever home. He does not have to go with his brother but if a family chooses to take the brothers there is a discount in the adoption fee.
To find out more, please call/text the Foster parent at either (218)371-1212 or (218)640-1930. Calls or text messages received after 9:00 p.m. will not be returned until the next day.

**CONTACT FOSTER FOR MEET & GREET OR ANSWERS***
This is Bentley, he came in with his brother Watson after his owner was moved to an assisted living facility.
Bentley is a talkative fellow when he wants to be, he sometimes acts like he's a big dog trapped in a little dog's body. Bentley gets along with other dogs (prefers medium to smaller dogs, is nervous slightly around large dogs). He is getting use to cats as he has had limited exposure to them but has a gentle curiosity for them. Bentley has been around children 12 yrs and older and does just fine.
Bentley does have a birth defect that is common in Shih Tzus and mixes of them called ALD short for Angular Limb Deformity. His right front leg has that birth defect. The ALD does not slow him down and does not give him much grief or pain most of the time. The care for him is not anything you wouldn't already do for a little dog let alone any dog. Management is to keep him lean at an ideal weight, a good dog food, keep up on nail trims, provide ramps or pet stairs to higher surfaces like the bed or couch. He can benefit from a good joint supplement to keep arthritic issues pushed out to years from now, and gentle exercise like walks and limit running around to his ability.
Bentley is neutered, microchipped, tested for Heartworm, Parvo, Giardia and Coccidia, all of which he is negative for. Bentley is UTD on shots, other than Rabies which he will be getting boostered 7/17/26. We are hoping to be setting up meet and greets with him after that vaccine. He has been started on heartworm prevention and his flea/tick prevention. Bentley does not have to be adopted with his brother but if he is, the adoption fee will be discounted if he is adopted with Watson. There is a rehoming/adoption fee.
If you would like more information, please contact the foster parent, as they are handling all aspects of the adoption. Call/text (218)371-1212 or (218)640-1930. Inquiries after 9pm will not be returned until next day.

Please feel free to Share to people or families looking for a sweet gentle boy.

Help spread the word about these terrific dogs that need a second chance

12/15/2025

We have come under attack by persons because the rescue decided that the family was not the right fit. We also felt with the argumentative behavior and assumptions it was not in the best interest for the animal of interest.
Folks need to understand as a rescue we must ask lots of questions, we have to advocate for the animals that have no voice, strive to make the adoption from our rescue the last time they have to be "in limbo" wondering where their "forever home" will ever come.
So, to leave scathing reviews because you didn't get chosen over the 8 other applications that came in for that same animal, is petty and not needed by any rescue group.

Want to thank huge donation of dog food that we helped distribute to a few other small groups and good Samaritans that help give animals a second chance. Thank you Open Farm.
