Small Dog Rescue of Minnesota (SDR) is an all-volunteer group committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of dogs 20 pounds and under.

Zeus and Zena are a pair of bonded minpins who have been in foster care with SDR for over a year.  They are sweet and spunky dogs, but due to complications in their foster family they are in need of a new foster home -- or better yet, a forever home.

Bonded pairs are often dismissed by people looking to adopt.  We understand this, but it's really unfortunate because the only thing bonded pairs have in the world are eachother.  Not many shelters will require the adoption of two dogs together.  Our foster parents get to know their foster dogs intimately, and we always look out for the best interest of our foster dogs.  So when a pair of dogs are tightly bonded, we commit ourselves to finding a person or people who are open to double the love.

Senior dogs are routinely looked over by prospective adopters because people are afraid that the dogs won't live very much longer and it will be hard to lose them.  Or people may be wary about potential health complications happening sooner rather than later.  However, adopting a senior dog gives people a unique opportunity to help dogs in the most need.  While adopting a dog should be something that you do because you want to parent a dog, it's also about saving lives. 

And if you have already had the great pleasure of adopting a rescue dog, you know that while it may seem at first like you're the one doing the good deed, these dogs never fail to bring great love and life lessons to us that are impossible to measure.

So please, consider Zeus and Zena and see if there is any way you could help connect them with their forever home.  Maybe it could even be you?
