A Special Birthday Crew Looking for Their Forever Homes! šŸŽ‚šŸ¾

Klaus, a resident dog in one of our foster homes, recently celebrated his 6th birthday, and he had the most incredible squad of foster siblings by his side to help ring in the big day: Mama G, Puck, and Hattie. While it was Klaus’s special day, these three adoptable pups truly stole the show with their gentle spirits and impeccable manners.
It is rare to see three dogs handle the excitement of a party with such poise. Whether they were waiting patiently for their turn to enjoy a birthday treat or playing gently with Klaus, they showed exactly why they would make such wonderful additions to a family. Watching them interact, it’s clear that Mama G, Puck, and Hattie have settled into pack life beautifully and are ready to share that same love and loyalty with their forever families.

These three sweet souls are not just great party guests—they are ready to be someone’s best friend. If you have been looking to add a gentle, well-socialized, and loving dog to your home, any one of these amazing fosters would be a perfect match.

Could one of these birthday party stars be the missing piece to your family?

The Beefy Tripod Fun

The "Beefy Tripod" Fundraiser: Helping Beef Wellington Heal

When he was rescued from animal control in St. Paul, Beef arrived with a severely broken foot. Our team of vets spent weeks trying everything hoping it would heal. Unfortunately, despite everyone’s best efforts, the difficult decision was made to amputate his leg.

We are so happy to report that the surgery was a success! Beef is officially a tripod, and honestly? He’s handling it like a total gentleman. He’s already back to his "Velcro dog" ways: leaning on his foster family, sighing dramatically during naps, and reminding everyone that three legs are plenty for a guy with this much heart.

šŸ’ø Our Goal: $1,200
While Beef has recovered beautifully, the cost of his specialized surgery and the long road of veterinary attempts to save the leg have left us with a significant bill.

We are looking to raise $1,200 to cover his medical expenses.

How you can support the Beefcake:

🐾 Donate to his care!
- Venmo: @ndlb-donation (under Chariss Nearmyer; code 0442. Note ā€œBeef Wellingtonā€)
- PayPal: donations@ndlbrescue.org
- PaySimple: ndlbrescue.mypaysimple.com/s/one-time-donation
- Facebook: Click the donation button on this post!
🐾 Share this post with your friends, family & coworkers

Any amount helps! Thank you for being part of Beef’s village!

Hi there! My name is

Hi there! My name is Goal, and I think I might just be the best goal you’ll ever set for yourself!!!

People keep telling me I’m beautiful, but honestly, I think my best feature is my super-soft fur—it’s perfect for all the snuggles I’m hoping to get from you. I’m a total sweetheart who absolutely loves being held, and if you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, I’m your girl. Whether you’re hanging out on the couch or just taking it easy, I love to snuggle right up nearby.

Here’s a little more about me:

The Perfect Housemate: I’m nearly house-trained and I’ve already mastered the "sit" and "lie down" commands!

Sleep Pro: I’m a champion sleeper and can make it through the entire night snoozing right in bed with you.

Travel Ready: I’ve been on a few car rides, and I’m a total angel—I just lie down calmly in the backseat and enjoy the view.

Friend to All: I get along great with other dogs and even cats!

I’m looking for a loving home where I can continue to grow, learn, and give out endless amounts of puppy love. Could that be with you?

Ready to make me part of your family?
If you’re interested in adopting me, please reach out to the rescue today to fill out an application! Please share my post! You never know—your share might be exactly how I find my perfect forever family. Let’s reach this goal together! šŸ¶ā¤ļø

🐾 Meet Piper: You

🐾 Meet Piper: Your New Best Friend is All Ears!
Just one look at those magnificent ears and you’ll see why we’re head-over-heels for Piper. This handsome Shepherd (born ~7/6/22) is a sensitive, loyal soul searching for a soft place to land and a family to call his own.

šŸ  The Perfect Roommate
Piper is the ultimate "homebody" in the best way possible. Whether he’s stretched out on the couch or chilling in his crate, he’s a low-maintenance gentleman indoors.

Home Alone: He’s a total pro! He can be left loose in the house and is perfectly behaved.

Snuggle Bug: He lives for belly rubs, brushings, and quiet companionship.

World Traveler: Originally from Afghanistan, Piper is still learning that the world is a safe place. He’s looking for a calm leader to show him the ropes.

šŸŽ¾ Piper’s Preferences
Because Piper is a sensitive guy who can get a little "mouthy" when startled or over-excited, he’s looking for a specific kind of pack:

Human Friends: Best with adults or kids ages 10 and up.

Dog Friends: He prefers being the only king of the castle or living with a very submissive, calm sibling. High-energy dogs can be a bit too much for his gentle spirit.

Road Trips: While he’s game for an adventure, car rides aren’t his favorite (expect a little drool!), but he braves them just to be by your side.

šŸ“¢ Help Piper Find His Forever!
Piper has traveled a long way to find you. Let’s make sure his journey ends in a warm, loving home.

READY TO ADOPT?
