Puppies for adoption.

Rescue puppies in Minnesota & South Dakota foster homes — listed the moment they’re ready.

Thinking about adopting a puppy in Minnesota or South Dakota? Litters come through Rescue Network all year — many from overcrowded shelters and rural communities — and every one of them grows up in a foster home, not a kennel. That means socialized puppies whose fosters can tell you honestly what each one is like.

The grid below shows every dog under a year old in the network right now. Litters go quickly, so if the right puppy isn’t here today, apply now and be approved before the next one lands. And once your puppy is home, the 3-3-3 rule is the settling-in guide we hand every adopter.

Common questions

Puppy questions.

What people ask us most about puppy adoption.

How often does Rescue Network have puppies for adoption?
Regularly. Litters come through our Minnesota and South Dakota programs all year, and puppies are listed as soon as they are old enough to be spoken for. The list on this page is live.
How do I adopt a puppy before the litter is spoken for?
Apply early. Litters go quickly, and approved applicants move fastest. If you do not see the right puppy today, submit an application anyway so you are already approved when the next litter lands.
What is included in the puppy adoption fee?
Age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a microchip with registration, and spay/neuter per our standard adoption inclusions. Veterinary records are emailed after adoption.
Where can I meet the puppies?
Every puppy lives in a foster home, and you meet through a scheduled meet-and-greet with the foster. Puppies also come along to weekend adoption events around Minnesota and South Dakota.
Can you bring puppies to my event instead?
Yes — that is a Puppy Party. We bring a supervised litter of socialization-ready rescue puppies to offices, birthdays, and celebrations for a donation that funds our rescue work.

Foster a litter.

Puppies can’t wait in shelters — they need homes from day one. We cover vet care, food, and supplies; you provide the puppy pile. Litter fosters are some of the most-needed volunteers in the network.
