About this Dog
Meet Irie! Irie is a sweet, smart, and snuggly 10-month-old brindle beauty with boundless energy and a heart full of love. After being found as a neglected stray, she’s come a long way in just two weeks with her foster family—showing impressive progress in house training, learning basic commands like “sit” and “stay,” and discovering the joy of cozying up with humans (especially if she can sneak into your lap!).Though not yet fully house-trained, Irie is getting the hang of using pee pads and responds well to gentle corrections. She is crate-trained and enjoys relaxing in her crate but prefers to be near people—she’s happiest with company and doesn't like being left outside alone. Indoors, she’s mostly respectful, only testing boundaries a few times (a single counter surf and a keen interest in wooden furniture) but always stops when corrected.Irie hasn’t lived with other dogs, cats, or children, but she’s shown calm curiosity when seeing other dogs and has ignored cats at the vet office. Her gentle demeanor suggests she could potentially get along well with others in the right home.She’s a high-energy pup who loves tug-of-war, chew toys, and rolling around for belly rubs. Occasionally she gets the zoomies or can be a little mouthy, but it’s typical puppy behavior—and she’s learning fast! She will thrive with a patient, active adopter who can continue her training and help her feel safe and loved. A fenced yard is ideal for her to burn off energy in a secure space.If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts cuddly and playful, Irie might just be your perfect match. She’s ready to leave her past behind and start her new life—with you.If you are interested in Irie, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Adopt Irie and Receive Irie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Irie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Irie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Irie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Irie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Irie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Irie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Irie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Irie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
