Frannie—short for Francine—is an adventurous, lovable 6 month old black tri with a docked tail and gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. Currently weighing around 25 lbs, Frannie was found as a stray and is learning how fabulous life is inside a home. Frannie is a playful, eager-to-please puppy who showing off her smarts, mastering “sit” and “kennel”. Frannie’s dedicated foster has her doing puppy classes and she’s doing very well learning how to participate in the world around her. Frannie is still a bit cautious when it comes to unfamiliar situations. Loud noises can startle her, and she’s quick to alert everyone with her “Stranger Danger” bark. Her foster notes that she’s gaining more confidence, and will soon outgrow this shyness. When it’s time to go outside, Frannie feels safest with her human by her side, whether she’s playing or doing her business.
Frannie is a social butterfly with her adult dog siblings, though sometimes her playful energy is a bit much for them. She doesn’t mind a time-out when she needs one, and she’s just as content curling up on a lap for a cozy nap. Frannie would thrive in a family that can give her the attention, patience, and gentle guidance she needs to build her confidence and learn how to be the best companion she can be. Whether you have other dogs or are looking for a solo pup to shower with love, Frannie is ready to start the next chapter of her life with you.

Introducing Dove!

A pretty black tri girl with striking two blue eyes, Dove is a lovebug who is looking for her forever home. Miss Dove will be 11 weeks old on 2/13.

Sugar Dove is a happy, curious pup who loves to snuggle and be with her people. So far she loves being the center of attention at her foster home and hasn't met anyone who wasn't her friend. (I mean, could you really not be friends with this doll face??)

She's working on her kennel and potty training and doing great so far!

One of our favorite types of updates to share - foster fail adoptions! Cosy and Dodger have both become foster fails after their fosters finally admitted the truth that they were already in their forever home. It's true that sometimes that dog ends up picking their new family, and these two were no exception. Congratulations to Dodger & Cosy to wriggling their way into their fosters' hearts and cementing their place in their forever homes!

Aussies are not supposed to be social butterflies regardless of their start in life (although some definitely didn't read the standard! 😆). The breed standard says "Aloof with strangers."
We love everything Patricia McConnell writes!

"We changed his name to Prince."

In 2020 Aussie Rescue of MN took in an 8 year old Aussie who we called Prince.
Prince was no doubt purchased as a sweet little puppy full of life and hope. About a year and a half later his family passed him along to another family who thought he would make a good hunting dog. Terrified and no doubt traumatized, he was then given to a farm when he would not hunt. There, Prince spent the next 5 years as an invisible dog, hiding under the porch, “untouchable” and ignored.
Then on April 4th, 2020 due to the efforts of a family member, two rescue partners and 2 volunteers, Prince arrived at ARM.
Prince was dirty and matted and terrified, but quickly realized that someone was seeing him now. Prince transformed into a hopeful, loving boy as he was bathed and brushed and loved and hugged. He was literally transformed physically and emotionally.
Shortly after arriving at his foster home, Prince visited our veterinarians at Barrington Oaks and we found out that he had a
perineal hernia. ARM had reached out to specialty surgeons and surgery was being planned when Prince had to be rushed to the University of Minnesota hospital as the hernia had grown and Prince was in considerable pain.
After sucessful surgery and a long recovery time, Prince lived happily with his foster until she tearfully let him go last week due to old age medical issues.

Prince had been let down by people his whole life but at ARM he got the chance at the happiness and love he wanted so badly, and he spent his last years as a Prince.
Thank you Nancy for giving him a lifetime of love.

ARM Alumni Loki (was Beau) update:
Hello! I wanted to share an update about Loki (formerly Beau). We have had him for around 9-10 months now. He has come such a long way. He is roughly 1.5 years old now and very healthy. He is doing amazing. He loves his fur brother, Odin and his kitten sister, Polly. He is so smart and has successfully passed multiple dog training classes. He also gives the sweetest puppy snuggles 💗 Rescuing him was one of the best decisions we made for our family. Thank you for giving us that opportunity!
