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: Hi! They call me Ducky. I'm a VERY good girl. I sleep peacefully in my kennel all night. I follow basic commands. I always potty outside. I love to snuggle on the couch but I also love chasing the tennis ball. I love human kids, other doggos, and the cats at my foster home. My coat is silky smooth and my ears are SO soft. My long lashes, cowlick on my neck, and my floppy ears are everyone's favorite things about my look.   

I am such a good girl and well mannered that when they take me to puppy showcases people can't believe I'm still a puppy. Maybe thats why they have overlooked me?! Foster mom says that I'm amazing and perfect in every way and my family is going to find me soon. She doesn't understand why black dogs are overlooked and how no one has seen what a gem I am yet.   

Do you think I could join your family? I promise to be the best dog ever.  

Love, 🐤 Ducky 🦆

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!
