oves his short walks, car rides, and, most of all, being with his person. He adjusts quickly to new environments and made himself right at home with his foster family, even sleeping with them his very first night. Ghost is an affectionate little shadow who gets attached to his person quickly and loves to follow them from room to room. When it’s time to snuggle, he is happiest curled up on his person’s chest with his head resting on their shoulder. He also loves sleeping with his people at night. One of his cutest habits is spinning in circles while barking when he wants to go outside or be picked up! Ghost is house-trained and will bark when he needs to go outside, but he needs frequent potty breaks. He can also be quite vocal when he wants something, even when his people are home. Because of his vocal nature and suspected separation anxiety, Ghost needs a home where someone is around most of the time. He would not be a good fit for a home with shared walls, such as an apartment or townhome, and his foster recommends a single-family home. Ghost gets along well with small dogs, especially those around 15 pounds or less. He appears nervous around larger dogs, so a home with small, dog-friendly canine companions would be the best fit. His history with cats is unknown, and he has not been around children in his foster home. Because of his very small size, older, respectful children age 13 and up would be recommended. Ghost is not interested in toys and has only a few teeth, so he prefers soft, chewy treats over hard ones. He enjoys two short walks each day and would love a family who can include him in their adventures, especially car rides. His curious nature and tendency to trot or run mean he must be kept on a leash whenever he is outside unless he is in a securely fenced area. Ghost is a very sweet, affectionate little guy with a big personality. He is looking for a patient, attentive family who will appreciate his active nature, frequent potty needs, vocal personality, and desire to be close to his people. In return, Ghost will happily be your devoted little shadow and professional snuggle buddy. If you are interested in Ghost, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $250. 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.
