Foster Dogs
Available for Adoption
(Read info about adoption
first. Applications not complete or not within guidelines will be
rejected.)
Please note: We require a physical
home visit before any application can be approved. Our volunteers
primarily live in Minnesota and Wisconsin, so unless you're in
our area, we may
not
be able to consider your application. Please do not submit an application if you live
out of our area. We will not consider long distance
adoptions and we will not ship dogs, no exceptions!
Before placement, our foster dogs are spayed or
neutered, heartworm tested and vaccinated (if needed).
Some are microchipped. They are on
heartworm preventative during the season, May 1- Nov. 1.
Our foster dogs go to their new homes with a Lifeline tote bag packed
with: veterinary records, a binder
with care information, a dog training DVD, a martingale
collar and matching 6 foot lead, a tag collar with Lifeline ID tag, dog
food, a coat (in
cold weather), and a favorite crate pad or blanket. We also supply a
crate/kennel, when needed.

Tigger
Tigger is a three-year-old
boy, 16 inches tall, 12 lbs., and a beautiful seal pied (white with dark
brown
patches). He's a young dog dog who likes to play with other dogs,
go for walks, run in a fenced yard and snuggle under a blanket.
Tigger's lived with kids
and other dogs, but can be shy around men and prefers female dogs to
male dogs. He's crate trained and
reliably outdoor housetrained, seldom having accidents in his foster
home. He'll be updated on any needed
vaccinations, heartworm tested and have a dental cleaning, if needed.
Tigger
is being fostered in the Rochester, MN area.

Mona
Mona is a lovely little girl,
around 9 lbs (could use another pound) and about 14 inches tall. She's seal
with white markings.
Miss Mona offers the
advantages of a 9 year old IG: she's reliably housetrained (both indoor
and outdoor), enjoys nap time, and loves human and canine friends.
However, she's also full of energy and loves to tear around her foster
mom's huge, fenced yard. Mona has excellent housetraining skills.
We took
Mona to our vet for a much-needed dental cleaning, and she had to have
12 teeth extracted. We'll try and maintain her teeth with consistent
brushing.
Mona's an
easy, low-maintenance dog who is one-half of a pair. Mona and Argos
have lived together for 8 years and would like to be adopted together.
They can be adopted for a combined adoption fee of $300. Adopters over 55 qualify for our Seniors
for Seniors program and may adopt Argos & Mona
together for $200.
Mona
is being fostered in Eau Claire, WI.

Argos
Argos is 8 years old, and a sweet, goofy
kind of guy. He's seal with Irish markings, and a taller IG who - at
over 20 lbs. - needs to slim down to around 18 lbs. Argos loves to play
hard and sleep hard, too. His foster mom has a big, fenced backyard, and
he takes advantage of all the room for running and playing. His
housetraining has been excellent in foster care.
Argos is indoor/outdoor housetrained and
crate trained. He's a friendly dog who has plenty of energy. Argos had a
long-overdue dental cleaning, and he had to have 11 teeth
extracted.
Argos has petit mal seizures,
occasionally, and we're tracking them and will work with our vet to
decide whether he needs to be on medication.
Argos is one-half of a
pair that needs to be adopted together. Mona and Argos have lived
together for 8 years and would like to be adopted together. They can be
adopted for a combined adoption fee of $300. Adopters over 55 qualify for our Seniors
for Seniors program and may adopt Argos & Mona
together for $200.
Argos
is being fostered in Eau Claire, WI.

Lillian
Six-year-old Lillian
recently lost her home due to a divorce and foreclosure. She's extremely
overweight, but should begin to recover to 'girlish figure' while on a
diet and exercise program in foster care. Just to be sure, we'll have a
thyroid panel done while she's having her heartworm testing and dental
cleaning performed.
Lillian is reliably outdoor
housetrained and signals when she needs to go out. She loves food, though, and will
readily get into garbage or steal food off a counter. She's good with
kids, adults and other dogs, and - outside of her food obsession and
barking at cats - is a
well-mannered IG.
Lillian
is being fostered in the Minneapolis area.
