Service areas:

We serve the metro area of Minneapolis/St Paul and surrounding areas within 60 miles of the metro.

All Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue group. We work with local shelters, city governments, tribal partners and owner surrenders. All the dogs in our program live in a foster home until they are adopted. Our dogs are fully vetted and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We commit to our dogs for their lifetime and we will always take our dogs back.

Mission and Vision

All Dog Rescue is dedicated to finding life-long homes for rescued dogs. We accept dogs from shelters and relinquishing owners, thoroughly evaluate them in volunteer foster homes, and then help families select the right dog for their home. As part of our commitment to our animals and the public, we will always take our dogs back if the adoption is not successful. To encourage responsible pet ownership and reduce pet over-population, every dog and puppy is spayed or neutered and provided with routine veterinary care prior to adoption.

Adoption Policy

We do careful screening of our applicants in order to ensure the best possible fit for both the dog and the adoptive home. We want happy dogs and happy guardians, and our goal is to find lifelong homes for our dogs. We limit adoptions to within 60 miles of the metro area and reserve the right to decline an adoption if we do not feel the dog is a right fit for a particular home.

"On a very snowy December evening In 2010 an unexpected little furry gift from my Sister and family showed up at my door... It was love the moment Stuart Little was placed in my arms. I couldn't believe this tiny rescued Dachshund was mine....he was at my side for 13 years🐾. Thanks to Tommy Alan Goodwin and All Dog Rescue."

"We adopted our pup, Stella, from All Dog Rescue in 2021. I was very impressed by the level of care Stella and her 9 siblings received. All Dog and friends bottle fed all 10 pups after Mom stopped feeding them. They found wonderful, loving homes for all the pups, including one pup with a disability. They were wonderful to work with, making the adoption process very easy. They are truly a wonderful group of people and an amazing organization. I am so thankful and grateful for All Dog Rescue for bringing Stella into our lives!"

"I had a difficult yet adorable husky that i needed to rehome. I had been looking for a suitable new home for months without success. Kathryn at alldogmn was so caring and compassionate and found a perfect new home for him. She is very thorough and careful. I dont know what i would have done without her."

"I was a volunteer with All Dog Rescue for several years. I liked that ADR gave the fosters final say in new adoptees. It’s the foster than knows the dog better than anyone. Whenever I would pick up a new round of puppies (I fostered mainly groups of puppies) I would get all the food, pee pads, medications, etc that I needed. They were also very supportive and would go out of their way to make sure the dogs had all the care and training they needed. I am also a foster failure. I was fostering a three year old golden lab that had been severely neglected and abused. I needed to keep him long enough to gain some much needed weight and work on his fear issues. Monty was so sweet and loving that we couldn’t let him go. My husband and I are good with troubled dogs. We were patient and ADR let us know they were there for us. Many years passed with lots of adventures for Monty and our other dogs Gracie and Phoebe. When the pandemic hit poor Gracie died of a ruptured tumor. Monty was heartbroken and depressed, as was I. I reached out to various dog rescues looking for a friend for Monty and a salve for my broken heart. ADR contacted me saying they had a Maltese that had been neglected and abused and would I consider adopting him. Of course I would! Inigo came to us when he was two and Monty was 13. Inigo had been locked in a crate in a basement for his entire life. He didn’t know what a toy was, had never seen snow or rain and was terrified of car rides. Monty was the calm influence Inigo needed. They slept together and eventually played together. Inigo slowly came out of his shell. Sadly Monty passed away a year later at the age 14. We still have Inigo and have since adopted another dog Mija. I volunteered with other rescues in the past who just wanted to get the dogs adopted and if the fit wasn’t quite right well, it was good enough. ADR is awesome because they put the dog first. The perfect person/family is always found."

"Our last 3 dogs came from All Dog, and all are wonderful companions full of personality. All Dog Rescue is an all-foster organization, which gives the staff time to get to know the pups so they can be matched to the right people. All of the dogs I adopted from them even came house trained! Any bad habits they have now are all on me. I like that they get dogs from Reservations in Minnesota and the Dakotas where people struggle to care for their pets, and give them the opportunity to live their best pampered doggie lives. Res dogs rock, and so does All Dog. I'm looking forward to being able to foster for them once I retire, to give something back for all they've done for me."

My Dog Is Food Aggressive With Other Dogs: What To Do
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Scent Training for Dogs: A Beginner's Guide
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
Service Dog Training Costs: DIY vs. Pro
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Dog reactivity guides

Rottweiler Aggression: Truth vs. Myth
Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
What Is a Reactive Dog? A Guide to Understanding Reactivity
So: Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (cars, bikes, skateboards, and other fast-moving objects are also common triggers) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling not only feels embarrassing for you — it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize a Reactive Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
