Animal Rescue Sites

I have had a lot of friends lately ask me about animals, more specifically dogs-what kind of breed to get, where to get a dog, if they can adopt breed specific puppies through a rescue, etc. so I decided to start a list of pet rescue sites in Minnesota and nearby cities.  And YES!  There are lots of breed specific puppies in rescue!  If you are looking for a specific breed or age of dog, I would love to help you look! And if I am missing a type of breed or rescue, please let me know and I will add it below!

Below are our first couple fosters-Julian (left) was a pit/boxer/cattledog mix (our foster failure Toby was camera shy).  Kendra (right) was our first foster from the MN Boxer Rescue.
