History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own!
A Note from the Foster: Andri (or as we call her, Lady) is the sweetest, shyest girl with the softest soul. She loves people but greets new faces timidly, often making herself small and rolling onto her back to show her belly as a way of politely saying hello. While this isn’t always an invitation for belly rubs at first, once she’s comfortable, she truly enjoys them. She has the cutest little cow-spotted belly and is quite possibly the softest dog you’ll ever meet.
Andri did wonderfully at her grooming appointment and handled it like a champ.
She absolutely loves being outside, even on cold and blustery days. She does great on walks and is gaining confidence every time she heads out. While she appreciates having her own space and some quiet alone time, she will seek out affection when she’s in the mood. She’s still learning the art of snuggling, but she’s making progress. She’s also starting to get the littlest bouts of zoomies! It’s so cute watching her playful side come out of its shell.
One of Andri’s most endearing traits is her love for TV! Her adorable head tilts are a hoot! She has done very well with free roam of the house while her fosters are at work, with no accidents. Previous fosters shared that she was comfortable in a crate, though she hasn’t shown much interest in one recently and has done well without it.
Andri is currently carrying a little extra weight, so a consistent diet and daily walks will be important to help her reach her healthiest self.
In the past, Andri lived with other dogs and was reported to get a bit uncomfortable when dogs roughhoused too close to her crate. She is currently living as the only pet in the home. Her compatibility with cats is unknown. Andri would do best in a calm household with no kids or a home with older kids who understand and respect her boundaries. She truly enjoys peace, quiet, and having a bit of space to feel safe and secure.
Andri is a gentle, thoughtful girl who will blossom beautifully in a patient, loving home that appreciates her calm nature and kind heart.
Adoption Fee: $510 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
