Meet Briar , a Mini Aussie born January 22, 2026, and part of our festive St. Patrick's Day-themed litter ! This stunning blue merle girl turns heads with her striking coat and gorgeous blue eyes , perfectly accented by her natural black "eyeliner." Briar is a pup with a purpose -full of energy, confidence, and personality. She absolutely loves tearing around the puppy play yard, showing off her signature zoomies . When Briar gets going, her siblings better keep up... or get out of the way , because she's known to fly by and take them out in the process! With her playful spirit and bold charm , Briar is sure to bring excitement, laughter, and lots of love to her forever home. ********************************************** Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted. They are then transferred to foster homes throughout MN and some into ND so they can get used to lifestyles with a family in a home. Adoption fee for an adult dog is $300 + Mn tax. Adoption fee for a dog over 3 years of age is $300 + Mn tax., pup/dog1 year to 3 years is $400 + Mn tax. Under 1 year of age $500 + Mn tax. Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog. Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually. Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible. Dogs can be met in Ada, MN weekday and weekends, or in our alternate office location in Maple Grove, MN on weekends only. Once we receive your submission, our application review team will be in touch with you. Please have patience while they look over your application.
