History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!
A Note from the Foster: Hey there, I’m Delilah! I don’t know what it’s like in New York City but I do what it’s like in Texas and now, the great state of Wisconsin! I’m kind of a shy girl who’s becoming a brave girl and starting to do normal puppy things. Here are my highlights:
🐾Corgi/Shepherd Mix 👌: I’m a perfect mix of shepherd looks (I mean, look at my eyebrows!) in a little corgi-sized body.
🐾Girl’s Girl 👧💅/ People-Friendly 😁👋: I can be shy at first but quickly warm up to the women I meet. My foster family is also working on my confidence with men and I’ve been getting a bit more comfortable with the man in my house. A family who is willing to be patient with me while I come out of my shell would be great!
🐾Dog-Friendly 🐶: I get along great with my furry foster siblings! Having other dogs in the house has really boosted my confidence and shown me what it’s like to be a dog. They aren’t very playful but I love when they interact with me and I respond well to their cues when they want me to back off.
🐾 Low-Medium Energy 😴🦴: Now that I’m comfortable in my foster home, I LOVE to get the zoomies and run around the house. I like my toys a lot and I bring my favorite toys to my playpen or crate to make sure they’re safe and sound. When my foster mom gets home from work, I have some energy to get out but then I’m ready to cuddle up with my person and take a nap or lay next to her and chew on a bone. Like a typical puppy, I sometimes like the things I’m not supposed to have and my foster mom is working on teaching me what things are for me and what things aren’t.
🐾Velcro Dog 🥰: Do you want a pup who likes your personal space more than you do? Then I’m your girl! I must have some shepherd in me because I like to keep an eye on my foster mom. If she leaves the room, I leave the room. If she’s sitting on the bed, I’m sitting on the bed. If she’s sitting on the floor… you guessed it - I’m sitting right there next to her.
🐾Potty-Trained 🧻: I haven’t had one accident since I got to my foster home! My foster mom takes me outside when she lets me out of the crate and again before I go back in it. That schedule works pretty well for me but I also sometimes go to the door to let my fosters know that I want to go out again.
🐾Crate-Trained (mostly) 🏠: I’m good about going in my crate but it isn’t my favorite place to be. I usually whine or howl a bit when I first get in there but I’ll settle after a little while.
I’m a sweet, curious puppy who’s a bit anxious but trying really hard! I take a prescribed anxiety medication (and having other confident pups in my home definitely helps!) and my foster family is working really hard to help me keep getting more confident. They think I’m doing really great! Once you earn my trust, I’m super sweet, affectionate, and playful and would love to be a part of your family!
Adoption Fee: $560 + 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!
