Marshmallow Foundation / Lucky Dog Animal Shelter

Our Adoptable Pet List

We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our Client's dogs. We would like to provide them for our shelter dogs as well. If you would like to donate a bed for their comfort, please click here.

Our Featured Pet. Scout- Update: I just had Scout at Pet Smart this last Saturday hoping to find him a home and he was very well behaved. He barked to go out side when he had to use the bathroom and when I asked him to wait, by golly, he did. He was so good with the little kids that came by and then I took him shopping with me and he found another---yes---BLUE ball, all by himself that he just had to have, it was on sale (you gotta love it!) so how could I resist? No luck on a home though---darn! By the way, we recently placed a tether ball in the dog park and Scout just loves it! Scout is just a young guy about a year old and appears to be a German Short hair lab mix. He is affectionate and playful and particularly seems to love men. He knows sit and just loves his blue ball we gave him here at the shelter! Scout's vaccinations have been updated, and he has been neutered. Scout has had a portion of his tail amputated as he has been suffering from "Happy Tail", where he wagged his tail so hard that he had banged and opened the end of it and it wouldn't heal. He is doing great on kennel training so should house train easily. Scout's adoption fee is $200 and covers his neuter, amputation, vaccinations, wormer, and Frontline and Heart Guard. .

Who We Are

Marshmallow Foundation / Lucky Dog Animal Shelter at the Lucky Dog Boarding and Training Center, LLC We are the Marshmallow Foundation (MF), a brand new organization set up in honor of ‘Cocoa’ and her ‘Eleven Marshmallows’, a Lab mom who had been abandoned and locked in a house for 3 weeks. Rescued by an Iowan Sheriff and obviously pregnant, she was taken to a local Vet. After receiving her donated care and through the generosity and compassion of many, Cocoa came to rest in Minnesota at the Livingston-Wiedewitsch home and went on to whelp an astonishing eleven puppies. All were adopted into loving homes, but there are more that need our help. The ultimate goal, of course, is to end this nightmare of unwanted companion animals but that can only be accomplished through heightened public awareness and active promotion of a spay/neuter program. Let us explain that the Foundation is also part of the Five-City Animal Impound encompassing Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Audubon, Lake Park and Callaway which is a public resource for stray, abandoned and rescued companion animals. Animals are impounded for five days, by law, then turned over to Lucky Dog Boarding and Training Center so that basic medical care and physical needs may be met. Afterward, they become the MF’s responsibility for any long-term care or extensive medical treatment until they can be adopted. We are a ’low-kill’ facility, so often, animals are with us for months until homes can be found. We are supported in our adoption program by Pet Smart, Pet Finder. Com and our own Lucky Dog web site in posting pet availability, descriptions and pictures. Lucky Dog is financially supported by commercial enterprises and The Marshmallow Foundation is supported solely by donations and fundraising. Our Programs: All Donations (any amount) Welcome!
