    Renegade originally came into rescue back in December of 2021.  Abandoned in West Virginia, we transplanted him to Minnesota, where he was vetted and treated for heartworm.  He was one of the lucky ones, he had a family in Northern Minnesota waiting for the “all clear” after his treatment.  Life was good for

  PUPDATE FROM LARRY & PAT! Dianne, thank you again for the opportunity to adopt these two sweethearts. Almost 4 weeks have passed now but they took no time at all settling right in and it’s already tough remembering a time when we didn’t have them. Still lots of Zoomies going on as well as

  Bella’s world went into a tailspin.  The family that loved and cared for her since she was a wee pup had to make the heart-wrenching decision to give her up at the age of 8.  Their son was severely allergic to Bella and although for three years they tried to keep their child and Bella
