We currently have LOTS of puppies and young dogs that need good homes. We also have many very nice adult dogs that have been waiting for a long time.
We've recently seen a tremendous rise in surrenders and have been bombarded by calls for dogs in need. We have limited space, so unfortunately , many are turned away. If you are considering adoption, please call or email us to see if we have your special companion. We not only have the dogs in our program , but also dogs in waiting. If you bring home an adopted dog, it will help us save another . PLEASE don't overlook an adult dog. Many times they are less work than a puppy and have tons of love to give.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our past donors!

Monetary donations can be made through the secure PayPal button below. Your gift will go directly towards the care of the dogs in our rescue program. Each dog here is spayed , neutered , microchipped and brought up to date on vaccinations and Heartworm testing. Occasionally we get dogs that have special medical needs such as being hit by a car or requiring Heartworm treatment, which can turn into hundreds of dollars. Your donations ensure that we can meet these dogs' needs and then help them move on to a promising future with new families.



Who We Are

We are a 501c3 non-profit rescue in S.W. Minnesota working mainly with Pitbulls and Rottweilers, although we will take in other breeds in emergency situations. We have dedicated our lives to helping each of these wonderful dogs find an appropriate home to help bring out the best of their potential. Placement is not the end of our involvement -we are there for the life of the dog. Each available dog is spayed/neutered, microchipped, Heartworm tested, vaccinated and temperament evaluated to help ensure a great match to the appropriate family. We fight the good fight on a daily basis in the education of the public about the myths and realities of these breeds. Our dogs are ambassadors for their breed. Therefore , when you adopt from us, we will stress the importance of obedience training so that you may have your own ambassador. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about the Rottweiler or the Pit Bull Terrier.


Adopting a friend

All potential adopters are required to fill out an adoption application with a request for references. A home visit may be requested depending on distance. Once you are approved, there is an adoption fee and contract to protect the well-being of the dog in his/her new home. To those looking to adopt from us in other states, transportation help may be arranged to get the dog to their new home also. We do thorough screening of adopters. We ask that before adopting a pet, BE SURE that you are willing to do the ongoing training necessary and that you are committed to the next 5-10+ years of his/her life. A dog should not be a disposable item ! Please do the research on the breed you are considering. You will never regret bringing a rescued friend into your life if you have done your homework!
