Meet Roa – Our Tiny Toy-Loving Collector Roa is an 8-year-old Miniature Pinscher (Min Pin) with a big personality packed into a small, adorable body. She’s looking for a very special, patient home that understands her past and is ready to help her continue to blossom. Roa has a bite history that appears to have resulted from adults and children not respecting her signals when she was scared or uncomfortable and pushing her to interact. Like many small dogs, her voice wasn’t always heard — and she learned to advocate for herself the only way she knew how. Since coming into our care, we’ve taken everything slow and steady. With clear boundaries, respect for her cues, and thoughtful introductions, Roa is settling in beautifully. She has successfully met new people and continues to show us that when she feels safe, she can truly shine. What Roa Loves: Toys… and lots of them! Fetch (yes, she will play!) Collecting and hoarding her treasures in her kennel Her kennel — it’s her safe haven Burrowing under cozy blankets Having her person nearby Her kennel is her comfort zone, and she happily gathers her favorite toys and brings them back to her little den. Once you’re “in,” you’re in — and she will proudly show off her toy collection skills. Roa is reactive and will need: An adult-only home A calm, predictable environment An experienced owner who understands canine body language Slow introductions to new people Continued positive reinforcement and boundaries No other dogs as she prefers to be the center of attention. The beautiful part? Once you are approved and earn her trust, you will be her person. She will be your little shadow, following you from room to room, bonding deeply, and loving you with her whole heart. Roa doesn’t need a big world. She needs a safe one. A cozy kennel. A basket of toys. A soft blanket to burrow under. And a human who listens. If you believe in second chances and understand that trust is earned, Roa just might be waiting for you. *We only adopt and foster our animals within a 60 mile radius from New Brighton, MN* All of our adoptable animals can be seen by appointment.

FOSTER CARE: Our rescues are fostered in individual homes or at our facility. We work hard to ensure that our rescues have a supportive family while at foster homes to help them move forward and get ready for their forever home. We work on training, crate-training and socialization before an animal is adopted out. Foster homes are extremely important to the success of the cat at their forever home, and it is extremely rewarding to be able to watch the cats growth as you help them on their journey to their happy ending. YOU CAN HELP: If you’re not able to foster or adopt right now, please consider sponsoring a Legend. Your donation will help with our care and pay for medical costs.
