Welcome to Heading Home K9 Rescue!

Did you see a dog that caught your eye? Ready to start the adoption process? Happy to help! Feel free to email the dog's listed contact with any questions you have...the dogs live in our homes with us so we know them very well.

Please fill out the preadopt application (Heading Home K9 Rescue Preadopt Application) which is the first step to meeting/adopting a dog from HHK9. We read through the application, check references, and once approved (we aim for 2-3 days to approve or deny depending on how quickly references reply), we set up a visit with you and the foster home or direct you to an adoption event to meet the dog(s). Fosters are more than happy to answer questions that arise. We all want a good match the first time, and a successful experience for the adopter and the dog.

After meeting, you can choose to adopt if it seems like a good match. You will be required to complete the adoption contract and pay their adoption fee online. There is a 7 day trial on all adoptions to ensure there is time for the dog adjust and the fit between the dog and your home is right. If the adoption does not work out in that 7 day period, your adoption fee is refunded. We encourage adopters to give it a MINIMUM of 5 days. Returning a dog before that period means it never had a chance to settle in and show you what the true personality is like. Moving dogs between homes is stressful and not in the dog's best interests. We are here to support you after adoption also, answering questions and helping make the process as positive as we can. We highly recommend you read the tips in this packet (Adoption FAQ) before bringing your new dog home...it will help greatly ease the transition and make it a positive experience for everyone!

Our adoption fees are non-negotiable and average about $500 for adults and $550 for puppies which includes their vet work-spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing (if old enough),microchip, deworming, and current preventatives. Often the vet costs far exceed the adoption fee, especially on our special needs dogs. We rely on adoption fees to be able to continue to rescue more dogs in need.

Want to help support the dogs of Heading Home K9 Rescue without ever leaving your house....not even leaving your computer?!--- Check out our Amazon.com wish list here! We have compiled a short list of our favorite and most used supplies like toys, leashes/collars, bones, etc. You can purchase online and it will ship right to us. Thank you for helping make the holiday special for all the wonderful dogs at HHK9!

Name: Ari
Breed: Black Lab
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female
Size: Large
Description: Wanna go for a walk? Play fetch? Dog park? Then snuggle on the couch and share popcorn and watch a movie? If you said yes then Ari wants to meet you and be your new best friend! Ari is outgoing, down for any adventure, makes new friends easily, and will keep you laughing every day with her. Ari loves other dogs and would love a home with another dog to play with but that’s far from a requirement since she loves people too. Cats are a no-go for her though. They are way too fun to chase and she doesn’t really understand to be gentle with them. Ari is housetrained and crates well. She is about 8 months old.

Requirements: No special requirements

Adoption Fee: $600 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

She is housetrained after an adjustment period, crates well, and knows how to sit. She is excellent with other dogs and loves all people.

Name: Astro
Breed: Lab/ Shepherd Mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Description: This handsome, leggy boy is Astro. Astro started his life on the side of a busy highway in Alabama narrowly avoiding cars and when someone stopped he was thrilled to jump to safety in their car! He is an absolutely fabulous pooch and his foster has done so much training with him. He walks wonderfully on the leash with a gentle leader, knows basic commands (sit, down, stay, crawl), and is housetrained and crates well. He is excellent with dogs and lives with them. He loves to play! He was previously fostered with kids and did fabulously too. Astro lived with cats in his Alabama foster home and he was curious and playful but both his foster and the cats would correct him for thinking the cats wanted to play and he learned to leave them alone. If he is placed with cats he would be best with dog-savvy cats and someone willing to correct his behavior off the bat and remind him that cats are not playmates. He loved water and the kiddie pools in the southern warm weather and we're sure he'll be thrilled about the MN snow too. He is a great blend of energy and playful puppy but with a lot of sense and the ability to relax as well. He is about 70 lbs and 10 months old so still growing and expected to be about 85-90 lbs once he fills out. He's in a lanky, all legs stage currently! If you are looking for an outstanding young pooch who is ready to join in any adventure and bring so much love to your life, Astro would love to meet you!

Requirements: No special requirements

Adoption Fee: $550 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

Name: Ballet
Breed: Border Collie
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female
Size: Medium
Description: Ballet is a gorgeous Border Collie puppy who was brought into the shelter after she was found wandering after puppy curfew. No one came for her so she is now looking for a home who will love her, train her, and put that smartypants border collie brain to work. Ballet is smart as a whip and learns so fast. She absolutely thrives on being given something to do to. Puzzle toys, flirt pole, training—yes please! Ballet is typical puppy so housetraining is a work in progress but she keeps her crate clean for the workday and overnight. She is fantastic with other dogs but will herd them playfully which doesn’t always go over well with some dogs especially the little ones. She has not been around cats but would need a proper introduction to them and reminders that they aren’t for play. Ballet is of the mindset that everything is for play! Due to her breed she would be best with older kids or a herding breed experienced home who understands the tendencies to heel nip and chase kiddos to tell them where to go. If you are looking for a super fun dog who wants to join in on adventures, learn anything you want to teach, and keep you active and on your toes, Ballet wants to meet you!

Requirements: No special requirements

Adoption Fee: $650 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

Description: Batman is a gorgeous blockhead bully with a heart bigger than his head and that is saying something! He is dog friendly, doesn’t care about the cats, and absolutely adores every person.

Batman is housetrained, crates well, and minds his manners in the house. He loves his walks and playtime so expect to tire him out since he is an active boy. He balances that with being an exceptional snuggler and foot warmer too! He is about 65 lbs, 2 years old

He is excellent with other dogs and loves people. He is a BIG boy and needs some manners about not jumping up and being overzealous with his love so is best suited for a home with older kids and someone willing to put in some training to teach him good manners. Beetle loves to go for walks, loves to play fetch, and is happiest going on any adventure his human wants to take him on.

She is friendly, likes other dogs, seemed to be uninterested in the cats, and greets everyone she meets so happily. Butterball Bonnie loves to chew on bones, loves her walks though it’s more of a waddle with her big booty, and has the cutest happy dance for you when you come home from work or get her all excited.

Caramel plays hard, loves hard, and then crashes hard for snuggles. She is fostered with other dogs and loves to play with them, though she’s a bit much for the really little dogs with her play style. Caramel is a social butterfly, the kind of pooch you can take to the cabin, breweries, kids sporting events, etc and she’ll make friends easily with everyone there. She is a puppy so housetraining is a work in progress but she is doing well. She is cratetrained and used to being crated for the workday. She does need a home without shared walls since she does bark in the kennel. Caramel is smart and learns super fast so teaching her manners and what she needs to learn to be the best dog she can be is extra fun! She would be the star of an obedience class. Caramel is about 6 months old, 30 lbs right now and expected to be a medium sized girl as an adult.

Requirements: No special requirements

Sex: Female

Description: Cinna is a medium sized adult mixed up mutt found tied up alone with a tag that identified her however the shelter was unable to make contact with any potential owner. How she ended up there and then not reclaimed at the shelter we don’t know but what we do know is that she was sure loved and cared for prior (note: we will not allow any negativity towards her previous owners. We do not know their circumstances or how she ended up where she was). Cinna is very playful and good with other dogs and loves people. She is a bit of a velcro dog and wants to be where her people are. She’ll contentedly lay at your feet while you work, hang out in the yard while you do yard work, and politely follow you around the house. Cinna loves to go for walks and is learning to walk nicely on the leash. She is housetrained, does not enjoy being crated and would prefer the freedom to roam around the home.

Name: Cora
Breed: Pit Bull/ Bulldog Mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female
Size: Large
Description: Cora is a sweet pittie girl who found herself all alone in this cold weather. She is the typical young pittie who needs lots of exercise to be happy. Luckily she absolutely loves to play and gets along famously with our other foster, Batman. She is quite the puller on leash, but is learning that not pulling makes for a better walk. She sticks around off leash and absolutely loves romping around in our fenced yard. She is a bit bull headed (show me a pittie who isn't!), but is learning "leave it" and is very treat motivated. She crates well and is doing excellent on house training (a few accidents post shelter are expected). However, while she is not aggressive, she also will not back down when challenged so needs either slow introductions or a non alpha dog in the family. Dog-savvy cats are also preferred as she does show interest in them, but really wants to play. Cats are surprisingly resistant to playing with a big slobbery dog, however. If you have a friendly dog who loves wrestling, then Cora will fit right in! She would also love a situation where she was the only dog and received all the love and attention. Cora is about 45 lbs and 2 years old

Requirements: No special requirements

Adoption Fee: $500 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

She has never met a stranger, dog or human, and could not be happier to be included in everything. She is housetrained and crates well.

Name: Dolphin
Breed: Husky Mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female
Size: ~50 lbs
Description: Dolphin is an adorable husky type mix puppy who loves other dogs, loves to play, loves to sing the songs of her people, and loves to be held and loved on. She was an absolute favorite in the shelter and we can see why. Everyone falls in love with her! Dolphin is excellent with other dogs and would love a playmate. Dolphin is working on her housetraining and is used to being crated for the workday but does need a big push to get her in there. She needs a home without shared walls since she earned her name by her high pitched squeal she makes when she is crated or excited. Its adorable if you like husky noises but if you don’t its significantly less so.

Requirements: No cats

Adoption Fee: $600 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

He is all ready for his forever home now. He is excellent with dogs, cats, and all people. He has been handled since birth and is a social guy who is unfazed by everything. Earl is a well-rounded, well-started puppy looking for a home who wants to do all the fun puppy things and all the work including training and socialization! Puppies are a lot of work but so worth it. He does not appear to shed so will need a home committed to grooming every 6-8 weeks as well as weekly brushing.

Name: Eddie Munster
Breed: American Bully
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Description: Eddie Munster is a blocky headed softie who wants nothing more than a home of his own. He is miserable in the shelter and so sad to be alone. He has the sweetest heart you’ll ever meet and spreads love wherever he goes. He loves people and absolutely melts in for attention. Lap dog he is not but don’t tell him that! He is great with other dogs and when the cat smacked out at him he cried and hid behind his handler. Eddie is a sensitive soul through and through. He is housetrained, crates well, and minds his manners so well. We can’t say enough good about him. Eddie is about 75 lbs, 4 years old

Name: Fendi
Breed: Pit Bull/ Husky Mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female
Size: Large
Description: Fendi is a uniquely colored bi colored eye girl who isn't just a pretty face. Nope, this sweetheart also has a great personality and some training under her belt! She is housetrained (though with any dog expect accidents as she transitions), crates well, and minds her manners in the house. She adores people of all ages though the little ones might get bumped over from her playful nature. She has the energy you would expect from a husky and a pittie so needs daily outlets for her energy—walks/runs, playtime, training, etc. Fendi was well known in a local impound for her frequent visits. We aren't sure if she is an escape artist or if her frequent trips out of her house were due to n o fault of her own but just in case she will need a securely fenced yard or an owner committed to leashing her (not tie-out) when outside in an unfenced area. She is good with other large breed playful dogs but is a bit too pushy in play and too much for bossy dogs or for smaller dogs. She cannot go to a home with cats or small animals. Fendi is super smart and loves to learn things. She knows how to sit, shake, and lay down. Her leash manners could use a bit of work but even with just a few training sessions she is picking up loose leash walking like an absolute champ. If you are looking for a smart, active, social dog who is ready to go on any adventure with you, Fendi wants to be your pooch!

Requirements: No cats

Adoption Fee: $500 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

Name: Flicker *COURTESY POST*
Breed: Border Collie
Age: 3 years old
Sex: Male
Size: Medium
Description: Flicker is an almost 3-year-old neutered Border Collie (3/31/22) that has been living with me since May of 2023. When I first got Flicker, he hadn't had the greatest start to life and had a lot to learn. I never intended to keep him, but have been lax on attempting to place him as I was strung along by several "interested" parties and ghosted more than once, so put placing him on the back burner. He's easy, happy and healthy here, but I do believe there is a better home out there for him that will allow him to really flourish. Flicker has participated in UpDog, FastCAT, CAT and has started dock diving foundations and is jumping off the dock for toys. He has not actually competed in dock diving yet, but I hope he will at some point in the near future. Flicker did have several months of flyball foundations summer/fall 2023 and picked them up quickly and seemed to enjoy it, so I would think he could relearn those skills and be a successful flyball dog should his handler choose. Flicker has his BCAT, CA, CGC & FTN- although I have not submitted the latter 3 to AKC for official display on his Canine Partners registration. Flicker LOVES fetch- whether it be a ball or frisbee, he will gladly retrieve it for you. I am not a Border Collie person and I believe our lack of success at disc events lies solely on me - he has played UpDog games with pro handlers and has placed in pro division games with them. He and I just don't jive super well and we are not that successful as a team, so I make it a point to go out and have a great time, even if we suck scoring wise He is easy to hand off to play for other people at events. He has lots of disc "aunties" who play rounds with him. Flicker is a typical soft BC, and he needs very minimal correction, if at all. A slightly raised voice usually is enough to stop what he is doing. He lives to worship his person. He knows sit, down, kennel, stay, around, out & place. He has lived with a variety of dogs- including intact males and bossy female APBT and numerous fosters. He has tagged the other dogs while running in the yard, but indoors ignores them for the most part. He does live with cats, but I truly believe a home without cats would be beneficial as he does feel a need to stare and try to herd them any time he is around them, which makes it difficult for him to relax. Even on place, he will not take his eyes off of them. I would prefer he go to a home without cats but that is not a deal breaker with a savvy handler. Flicker had OFAs done for hips (excellent), patellas (normal) and elbows (normal) for my own peace of mind as I got him as a rescue and did not know anything of his lineage / possible structural issues he may have. As far as health goes, he's been great here. He is 43-45lbs and has gotten clean bills of health since I've had him. I have not noticed any food sensitivities. He is also fantastic for all grooming procedures and has never shown any issues with handling. Flicker's one "downfall" is he will go through periods of seemingly forgetting what being housebroken is. He will go months at a time clean in the crate and indoors, not a single accident, and then all of a sudden will have a stint of approx. 2-4 weeks of regular accidents (both urine and feces) and he does not seem to care about whether or not he lays in it etc. It is not a UTI, I think it is behavioral. I am confident an indoor/outdoor setup would solve this issue. It is also entirely possible he would be fine in a home with less stimulus- as I believe that may play a factor in this behavior as well. Flicker crates well (barring the stints of accidents) and crates nicely in the car. He has been environmentally stable everywhere he has gone with me. I am not pressed to move him, he can stay as long as needed. I have debated this over and over for the past year and a half but I truly believe there is a home out there that loves the breed and would cherish him. I admittedly have struggled to bond with him, and that is not his fault at all. He's a great dog, I just have a background in bull breeds ... Which is a lot different from a herdy one. I am asking a reasonable rehoming fee and will send his crate tag, rosettes and flat ribbons, title certs, vet records, collars/tag, sport stickers etc with him. I really would like to see him go to a sport home, he makes a lovely entry level sport dog but also has shown that he is capable of performing at a higher level with a handler that understands the breed. However, I am open to considering an active pet home as well.

Requirements: *SPORT HOME PREFERRED*

Name: Flip Flop
Breed: Floopy Mammoth Shepherd
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male
Size: Large/ Extra Large when fully grown
Description: Flip Flop is a 4-5 month old Floopy Mammoth Shepherd. You’ve never heard of that? It’s a very rare breed that we for sure didn’t make up because we really just don’t know what he is. He’s built like a tank with floopy sort-of stand up ears and going to be a big boy since he’s already pushing 45 lbs. He loves other dogs and wants to play with everyone, tried to chase the cat but when it turned around at him he did back off though probably best with cats who are dog-savvy and willing to stand up for themselves. He is working on his housetraining, crates well for the workday and overnight, and is learning all the important puppy things. He is expected to be a large or extra large dog as an adult. He is a typical puppy so a forever home should prepare for all the puppy fun, socialization, training, and everything takes to make a puppy into the best dog they can be. We highly recommend training classes to set everyone up for success.

Requirements: No special requirements

Adoption Fee: $600 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

Breed: Siberian Husky
Age: Adult
Sex: Female
Size: ~50 lbs
Description: Is this a plush toy? Nope, it’s Kaia! She is a stunning husky who found herself in dog prison after taking herself on an adventure. We were shocked when no owner came forward for her. Kaia is a friendly girl and gets along great with other dogs. No cats for her though! She is the typical husky escape artist so needs a home with a taller fence (she jumped out of her 5’ kennel run at the shelter) or a home committed to leash walks. Kaia absolutely loves to go for walks and will sing her happy woo-woos when you grab her leash. She is a vocal girl so needs a home without shared walls since not everyone wants to hear her sing the songs of her people…how strange! Kaia is as pretty inside as she is outside and a husky loving home is going to be so thrilled they chose her! Kaia is about 50 lbs, 6 years old.

He looks like a German Shepherd type mix but so much smaller for his age. In fact we thought he was a much younger puppy when he first came into the shelter. Rookie is shyer initially with new experiences but give him a few treats and he is all puppy and all about the snuggles, the fun, and finding the happiness in everything. That water bottle in the street that we see as litter…why that is his new chompy toss around toy!

At about 7 years old he is well past the crazy puppy stages and settled into being a well-mannered, housetrained, cratetrained but doesn’t need it and prefers to be loose in the house, easy to live with type guy. He absolutely loves to go for walks and when you pull his leash out he turns right back into a puppy with excitement. He walks well on the leash after an initial bout of excitement pulling and knows basic commands. Rusty has lived with dogs and cats and does well with all. He is loving and friendly to all people.

Breed: Lab Mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Description: Scotch is uniquely handsome Lab mix with bright blue eyes. His eyes are captivating and draw people in but his fabulous personality is what keeps people sticking around to be his best friend! He is absolutely in love with all people, thinks other dogs are immediate best friends, and is the greeter of the dog park. Scotch is a young guy at about a year so his obedience is a work in progress and his leash manners do leave a bit to be desired if we are being honest but he is super food motivated and responsive to training. He is housetrained, crates nicely for the workday, and as long as he’s had some energy burnt out of him and there’s appropriate chews around he minds his manners in the house. If he can’t find anything else or he’s feeling a bit cooped up, sometimes a shoe will make it’s way from by the door to somewhere else but Scotch has it on good authority that shoes are known to walk themselves places at times and he definitely didn’t have anything to do with it. He is about a year old, 50 lbs.

In fact he is such a good secret keeper he isn’t telling who stole the loaf of bread off the counter, him or his foster brother though we suspect this might be less about secret keeping and more about pleading the fifth.

Description: Stuffy is a husky/Pomeranian who is everything a Pomsky should be—good, bad, and everything in between. If you like a dog with lots of personality, mischief, and sass then you will love Stuffy. If you want a quiet, mellow dog who always minds and never talks back then Stuffy is not for you. She is heavy on the husky in looks but in a smaller, petite package. Stuffy adores other dogs and loves to play with them. She is a bit pushy in play and overwhelming to calm dogs because she doesn’t take no for an answer—because who wouldn’t want to play with her? For a playful dog she is a best friend since she can go on and on running and wrestling. Stuffy adores people and is tolerant of everything. She frequently gets picked up to get put in her kennel and doesn’t even mind “air jail”. Will she tell you her opinions of being locked up…absolutely. Stuffy is not for apartments or shared walls unless your neighbors too would like to hear her opinions shouted. She is housetrained, crates for the workday, and does mind her manners in the house as best as her little mischievous self can—she doesn’t know how the trash can got tipped over or why the barbie doesn’t have feet anymore but definitely probably was not her ;).

Name: Tarot
Breed: Belgian Tervuren/ Dutch Shepherd Mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Description: A pretty face and legs up to here, Tarot has all the makings of a model. He doesn't have a big head about it though! This humble guy came into a local impound after suffering a horrific injury at the hands of someone who had just purchased him in the days prior. He has spent the last few months healing and his wound is almost fully healed and he is nearly ready to find his forever home! He is an absolute love. He had endless patience with all the bandage changes, the cone wearing, and the vet visits. He didn't enjoy the short term restricted activity though! Thankfully it was only a week and he was cleared to be his playful self. This guy is the energy level you'd expect from his breeds and needs an active home who can tire him out mentally and physically. He is smart, he loves to work out puzzle and food toys, and is an excellent walking/jogging partner. He is quite the water dog as well! He is excellent with dogs and likes to play with them though equally loves his humans and would be happy in a home with or without another dog. He is housetrained and crates well but prefers to be in a dog-proofed area rather than a crate when alone.

Name: Tic Tac Taco
Breed: Bully Mix
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male
Size: Large when fully grown
Description: Tic-Tac-Taco is a 3 month old chubby bully pup. He was found at an evicted property, presumably left behind, and was thrilled beyond belief to see the officers that came to get him. They were his new best friends. Everyone is in fact! Tic-Tac-Taco loves people, loves other dogs, tries to play with the cats and learned quickly that was a big no thank you on their part, and just loves life. He is working on his housetraining, crates well for the workday and overnight, and is learning all the important puppy things. He is expected to be a large dog as an adult. He is a typical puppy so a forever home should prepare for all the puppy fun, socialization, training, and everything takes to make a puppy into the best dog they can be. We highly recommend training classes to set everyone up for success.

Requirements: No special requirements

Adoption Fee: $600 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.

Name: Tinky Winky
Breed: Maltese/Poodle Mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female
Size: Small
Description: Tinky Winky is a young Poodle/ Maltese mix, about 8 months old who is a little bit shyer and seems to have lacked a lot of life experiences so far. Despite being thrown into a high stress shelter environment and completely pelted to the skin matted, Tinky handled it with nothing but sweetness and a gentle nature. She is good with other dogs though the big ones do scare her a bit, fine with cats, and loves people. She’ll belly crawl gently up to you for some love and just melt into you. Tinky is learning how fun toys are and starting to let her guard down more to play. She is doing well on her housetraining and crates well for the workday. She does not appear to shed so will need a home committed to grooming every 6-8 weeks as well as frequent brushing.

Requirements: No special requirements

Adoption Fee: $650 + tax. This includes neuter/spay, current vaccinations as age appropriate, heartworm/tick testing in dogs over 8 months of age, deworming, microchip and current Heartgard and Nexgard preventatives.
