Deacon
Deacon Akita, Labrador Retriever mix
Deacon is a very sweet and loving yellow mixed breed dog that was pulled
from the pound on his last day. He has characteristics of a yellow lab, but also
has a double coated breed such as German shepherd or Akita involved in his
background. He has prick ears and a blocky Akita head. His breed mix is truly a
mystery! Deacon is very sweet, but needs basic training to be a good canine
citizen. He is learning to not pull on the leash. He is a higher energy dog and
we are teaching him to pull a sled as an outlet for his energy! Deacon has been
neutered and is completely up to date on his vaccinations including rabies. He
has been heartworm tested negative. Deacon's adoption fee of 200$ helps pay vet
bills at the rescue.

Prancer
Hound, Treeing Walker Coonhound mixADOPTED
Prancer is a very sweet young female hound mix. She was found in a
broken down shed with week old babies, 7 live, and 3 dead. A kind person brought
this young family to the rescue to find loving homes. Prancer is still drying up
from nursing her babies, and she'll be ready to be adopted in January after she
is spayed. She appears to be some sort of treeing walker hound mix. She has a
great personality and should fit in well to just about any household. Prancer
will be spayed, vaccinated and dewormed, heartworm tested and provided all
necessary medical care before leaving the rescue. Her adoption donation of 250$
helps pay a portion of her veterinary expenses.

Lucy
Standard Poodle
Lucy had her ear surgery, spay and a tumor removed from her breast on
August 3, 2009. She is being a real trooper! Her bill came to 789.98$. We have
received a total of 250$ in donations to help cover the bill. Would anyone else
help? Thank you! Lucy's ear infections are totally non responsive to
treatment. The very difficult decision had to be made to have her put to sleep
to relieve her from her pain. Our vet suggested one last try- ablation surgery.
This is a surgery that removes the ear canal and the source of the infection.
Lucy already has hearing loss because of the long standing infections (probably
has had them all her life) so the surgery will most likely not cause any more
hearing loss. The cost to save her life is about 600$. Would anyone like to
help? Her adoption fee will in no way shape or form cover much at all of her
medical bills. She has been sedated 4-5 times for deep ear cleanings and
shavings, to no avail. Please consider helping Lucy today. =) THANK YOU JESS
AND TIM AT CANINE DIVINE IN BEMIDJI FOR SHAVING DOWN THIS PRECIOUS BABY!!
Lucy is very sweet with adults and children. She is a dominant female and would
do best in a home with a submissive male or no other dogs. She shows intensity
towards cats which leads us to place her in a home with no cats or small caged
pets. ------- Lucy is a 5 year old female, silvering brown
colored poodle. This poodle came with others to the rescue. They have been very
neglected. This poodle is learning to be a member of a real family. This poodle
has a yeast infection and a severe pseudonomas bacterial infection in her ears
and is being treated for this. It will be several months of treatment before she
will be healed and cured of this infection. She has had a vet check and has been
dewormed and vaccinated for distemper/parvo. This poodle is looking for a
sponsor to help pay for her medical expenses. While she is not yet ready for
adoption (until she is recovered and spayed) we will be taking applications on
her. Her adoption fee will be 250$ to an approved home.

Ben
Lhasa Apso
THANK YOU CANINE DIVINE FOR HELPING BEN FEEL AND LOOK GREAT!!! Ben is a very active 9 year old full blooded Lhasa Apso. His
owner was in hospice with terminal cancer and asked us to help her
find Ben a new home before she passed away. Ben has been a senior
companion, but also enjoys older children. He likes cats. He is
unsure sometimes of bold dogs, and would probably do best in a house
with no other dogs, or a submissive dog. He is not a dominant dog at
all, he just gets easily overwhelmed by an overbearing dog. Ben is
very well housetrained and sleeps in a crate at night. He does well
for grooming. He is not a barky dog, just a nice little dog. He is
about 20 lbs. Ben has been neutered and is up to date on
vaccinations. He has some patches of hair loss on his armpits and he
will be examined by our veterinarian to determine the cause, and
begin treatment to resolve this fur loss. He is a sweetie, loves to
go for walks, and is used to going potty on a leash. Ben's adoption
donation of $100. helps pay for medical bills at the rescue.

Comet
& Dancer
BOTH ADOPTED
Boxer, Hound mom and puppy
Comet is Prancer's baby. She will be 8 weeks old on 12-23. We
are hoping for a holiday miracle of all 6 of Prancer's babies
finding loving homes for the holidays! Will you make that happen?
Comet is a sweetie, though quite camera shy. She has a winning
personality and loves snuggles! We believe that the father of
Prancer's babies is most likely a boxer type dog. Because these are
mixed breed puppies, we cannot make any guarantee on breed or future
size. They are just loving little pups that will be wonderful family
companions! They will get their second set of vaccinations on 12-23,
and will be up for adoption on Christmas Eve.

Penny
Dachshund Terrier mix young
12/11/09 Update from the foster mom
I have had Penny for a few days now she is SO sweet. We are
still working on the house training. I think she knows it is wrong,
but is just not able to hold it (need to change her schedule). She
LOVES to cuddle with you. I gave her a bath in the kitchen sink. She
started to panic with the sprayer noise, but when I started to
lather her up, she slowly sunk into the sink. Then when I rinsed
her, she didn't even move. Instead of running away from the towel
rub, she just collapsed enjoying the attention. We have 3 other dogs
and 2 cats in our home and there are no fights. She gets along with
everyone.
Penny is a 1-2 yr old small female wire haired Dachshund/Terrier
type dog. Her family was no longer able to keep her and left her at
a pet store thinking they would find her a home. The pet store was
unable to assist, and asked for the rescue to help. Penny is very
good and tolerant with children, as you can see from her photos and
video she has become good friends with a 2 yr old. They enjoy
watching cartoons together! She is learning to behave around cats,
but a home without them would probably be best because she thinks
they are fun toys, not friends. She is good with dogs, but will
assert herself if a dog becomes too rowdy with her. Penny is being
crate trained as her previous family did not housebreak her fully.
She is doing well with crate training. Penny will be spayed and
brought up to date on vaccinations before leaving the rescue. Her
adoption fee of 250$ helps pay some of her expenses while in rescue.
Please note- to apply to adopt this animal, you must EMAIL and
request an application. One will be emailed back to you. Please know
that we are an all-volunteer organization and it may take 24 hours
to get a reply. Rest assured we are working hard to get back to you
as fast as possible!-

Freckles
Cocker Spaniel, Bichon Frise
Young Female Medium size dog
Freckles came to the rescue from a pet store that was unable to find
her a home. She is very timid around strangers and will need a lot
of socialization. She would not do well in a noisy or very active
household and would not be good in a house with small children.
Freckles is afraid of men, and we will be working with her one on
one to hopefully get her confidence level up so she can go to a
home. While she isn't ready to go yet, we will be accepting
applications on her so when she can go, she will hopefully have a
waiting home. Freckles adoption fee of 250$ helps pay for her
medical bills and spay at the rescue

Apollo
Apollo is a 5 yr old purebred yellow labrador. He is currently
living on a chain in a yard until we can open up a foster for him or
find a permanent home for him. Apollo is a kind dog, good with other
dogs, cats and children of all ages. He is housebroken but his owner
is gone to work all the time and felt it was better to keep him
outdoors. Apollo is neutered and we'll make sure his vaccinations
and dewormings are current before he goes anywhere. Can you help get
Apollo off the chain? Dogs deserve better than that! Apollo's fee
will be 125$ to an approved home. If you are interested in giving
Apollo a loving fur-ever home

Smokey
Senior Siberian
Husky, German Shepherd Dog
Smokey is a good ol' dog. He is socialized with
other dogs and enjoys playing with his kennel mates in their big run. He was
taken from a home of discontent and neglect....out on a chain forever and the
neighbors had to get food and water to him so he guards his food from the
other dogs. He is now fed once a day with his own bowl and food is taken away
when he is done. He is now filled out and healthy and ready to find a home. He
is up-to-date with routine shots and neutered.

Bumper
German Shepherd mix large adult male
Harvey is a German Shepherd mix about 8 years
old...but thinks that he is just a young squirt. With the heart of a teenager
and the silliness of Second grader, Harvey will remain forever young. Harvey
likes everyone and gets along well with other dogs. He would like to be goofy
with you. He is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and neutered.
Leo
Labrador Retriever

does not do well with other male dogs in his territory.....preferring females. He
is a fine family dog, healthy, happy, willing to please and quite smart. He has
been vet checked, given all shots, and been neutered.
Brody
Labrador Retriever mix
Brody came to us on 1-8-08 because his owner moved.... that's it, he
moved. Brody is about 6 years old, friendly, social, easy to please, steady and
very healthy. It is not his fault that he didn't fit in with their plans when
they moved. Brody would like to find a caring, responsible family. He has been
vet checked, given his shots and been neutered.
Sadie
Boxer
Sadie is a sweet natured gal with a marvelous
personality and like the energizer bunny, Sadie can go and go and... and would
be perfect for a fun loving family. She is a pretty, 2 year old Boxer mix. Sadie
has been vet checked, is up to date on her canine and rabies shots, and is
spayed
Jake
Labrador Retriever
Jake is a great guy--and would make a wonderful
companion for you. He is an 10 month old, Lab mix. (as of 8-20-09) Happy,
healthy, wants to please, loves everyone and everything...his goal in life is to
make someone smile everyday. Jake has been vet checked, is up to date on his
canine and rabies shots, and has been neutered. He is so ready to be your best
friend

If you have a young dog you and your dog could benefit taking in one to give guidance & wisdom that older dogs are known to do. Now if you already have a dog or two maybe you still have room in your heart and home and give one of these a good retirement for the time they have left.
