Ruby
We adopted Ruby from the Steele County Humane Society four years ago. She was shy and a little withdrawn for a few months and now she follows us around and love to cuddle and go on two mile walks. Ruby is one of our kids and we wouldn't imagine life without her - Ruby's Family
Oakley
This is Oakley, originally her name was Bennie when we adopted her from your organization three years ago. She was a very shy, timid nine month old puppy who always had her tail between her legs. She has now grown to never stop wagging her tail. She loves to fetch and listens very well. She is bell trained, knows all commands and puts her paw up to say goodbye to guests - very smart. She is our baby now but soon has to make room for a human sister. Oakley is well loved and taken care of, thank you for our blessed Oakley. - Oakley's Family
Maggie
In April 2024, we adopted Maggie from the Humane Society, and we couldn't be more grateful that she found her way to us! Although her past is somewhat of a mystery, we know that Maggie was found on a property outside of Owatonna after giving birth to her puppies. Soon after she had her puppies, she was moved to a loving foster home where she and her puppies received the best care.
We first met Maggie when visiting her foster parents. Maggie was a great mother to her pups and had such a calm and gentle demeanor, despite being young (her estimated age was 2 years). Even though we hadn’t planned on adding another dog to our family at the time, we knew from that first meeting that she was meant to be part of our lives.
Maggie has been the perfect addition to our family. She’s very well-behaved, loves to snuggle, and has a way of making you feel better with her sweet presence. She loves her fur-sister, Nala (our pug), and has made great progress in winning over our cat, Minion. Maggie’s calm nature remains, but her playful side comes out when it’s time to fetch—she could play fetch for hours if you keep throwing!
We can’t imagine our family without Maggie. She’s brought us so much joy and love, and we’re forever thankful to the Humane Society for bringing her into our lives.

Ellie
We adopted Ellie, or originally named Lily, from the Steele County Humane Society April of this year. She is the sweetest, most cuddliest puppy there is. We tend to call her Derpy because she’s just so goofy and makes all the silly faces! She fits into our family so well and I couldn’t imagine life without her!

Nala
This is Nala, she was first named Faye which we liked to I included it in her full name which is nala faye. She is the best thing I didn’t know I needed and can’t imagine my day to day life without her. She love to go on hikes and loves the water. She also loves a good movie night and snuggling on the couch. She was the best puppy I’ve ever seen and listens extremely well. Can’t wait for the adventures we have down the road.
