owing you from room to room with her signature gentle loyalty. Once you earn her trust, you’ll unlock her goofy side: expect zoomies when you get home from work and bouncing excitement when she wants to play. She even gives you the cutest “please play with me” eyes! After a couple days in her new foster home, she settled in really nicely and caught onto the routine quickly. She’s fully potty trained, sleeps through the night in her crate, and even free-roams responsibly when left alone. She is doing well with household manners, like knowing not to jump up, counter surf or steal food, and she is quickly learning the “wait” command. She knows “sit” as well. Lilo is polite with other dogs and has done well with both cats and kids in past homes. While she may bark a bit when meeting new people or dogs from afar, she’s quick to warm up and incredibly friendly once she feels safe. She prefers a calm introduction and a little patience — and in return, you’ll get a best friend for life. Lilo has a moderate-high energy level. A long walk or jog each day, or playing with another dog in the home would meet her needs nicely. She likes to play with toys if her humans are included too. If there is a fenced yard, we recommend at least four feet tall — Lilo can jump! While she’s not a fan of car rides and can be a little anxious in new situations, Lilo has adjusted beautifully in her foster home. She’s smart, well-mannered, and eager to please — a perfect mix of cuddly companion and energetic playmate. If you are interested in Lilo, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
