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!
Eddie is working on his confidence being handled so an experienced home will be important for Eddie. He may also do best in a home without small children due to his initial trust concerns he may have.
A Note from the Foster: Eddie is awesome! Eddie is an OOTC surrender that each day becomes calmer, more playful, and loves head rubs.
He is a strong guy but very gentle. Walking on a leash is getting better and enjoyable. He has seen other dogs on walks and seems eager to meet them without barking. I feel he would be great with other dogs. He has met visitors appropriately. Has not been around kids or cats. He sleeps all night and quietly in his kennel, in the living room. Car rides are good. He has been on short trips out of kennel and long trips in the kennel. He eats well and loves treats. I feel he would be great for an active family. He loves to keep track of where we are and is happy to see us return home. Has had no accidents in the house, will go to the door if he needs to go out. A sweet, gentle, and fun guy to have in our home as a foster.
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!
