Northwest Minnesota Aussie Rescue

Love Skittles candy? We found someone just as sweet — meet Lazy H. Skittles — a friendly mini Aussie who at five years old, is officially retiring from motherhood after lovingly raising her final litter. ❤️❤️❤️

Now that her puppies have found their forever homes, it’s Skittles turn to be spoiled and cherished.

❤️ Skittles is searching for a calm, adult-only home—and has a happy personality once she feels safe. Because of her sensitive nature, Skittles will need a securely fenced yard where she can explore at her own pace. She would also thrive in a home with other confident, friendly dogs who can help show her the ropes and teach her how wonderful “the good life” can be.

Hi! My name is Capp, and I’m a hopeful, housetrained mini Aussie born in September 2024. The world is a new experience for me, and I am doing awesome in foster care. Though shy — I am resilient, and have high hopes for enjoying the good life! ❤️

New sights, loud noises, and busy places can be scary, so I sometimes choose the safest option I know—running home and finding quiet. I’m learning, but even a walk around the block can be scary. I want to be happy, and really enjoy my life — so I’m taking big steps to be brave and step out to meet you! ❤️❤️❤️

I am smart — with soft red, plush fur. And I’d love to boost my confidence with a compassionate dog sibling or pack — and blossom into a glorious red companion who appreciates that love is patient and kind! ❤️😊💕

❤️ I’m looking for:
· A comforting home where I can relax and be me
· Someone to pet me when I ask, and be patient if I’m not ready to sit on your lap
· A fully fenced yard so I can safely explore at my own pace
· A patient adopter who understands shy puppies bloom slowly — and love conquers all! ❤️

With time, love, and gentle reassurance, I promise to show you my quiet loyalty and sweet heart. ❤️💕🌼

Happy Foster Friday! Let’s share our love, and do great things together! ❤️ All dogs deserve a chance to find a loving forever home ❤️❤️❤️ … and we need your help!

We are blessed to have beautiful dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities who would burst into bloom in foster care! These deserving dogs would love to hang out with you ❤️🐶❤️ … to experience hope for the good life!

😊❤️💕 Do you have a lonely dog at home, or a dog you have rescued who is ready to be a mentor and friend? All working/herding dogs need a career to feel fulfilled.

Mentoring another dog provides companionship, enrichment and a very important career for resident dogs who want to share their canine point-of-view and make a big difference in another soul’s life!

Please reach out today to begin fostering a deserving Aussie through our rescue — with our full support and foster community. We supply everything you need (crate, food, leash, meds, etc.) — you supply the pups with LOVE and safety in your home. ❤️
