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 all my name is Ro, but my fosters call me Roro! I have been having a great time with my foster family! They have a lot of resident dogs and I love it! I think it would be great to have a medium to low energy dog in my future home. I love to play with other dogs and when I get tired, I love to find a nice dog to cuddle with! So far, I haven't shown much interest in toys other than to cuddle them, I would much rather wrestle another dog when I play. I have been learning how to read other dogs body language to know if they want to play with me or not!
My foster parents say I'm doing well in training. I keep my area clean throughout the day and night when I am alone! Potty training is going well for me! My fosters have a doggie door and I will go in and out when I have to potty....if its light outside. When it is dark I get a little scared and need to have my foster parents with me. I have been doing well in learning what is and isn't ok to chew on! So far, I have learned that cords are bad and will make my fosters come running, foster parents noses are also a no no! I am doing well with simple redirection to a chew toy! Kennel training hasn't been my favorite. I tend to scream at first but after a few minutes I pass out.
When training my fosters find I am more motivated by affection then food. If I'm not hungry I couldn't care less about treats. I am starting to learn about leashes and so far I'm not a not a fan of them, but they are fun to chew on and try to play tug with.
Most of the time I prefer to graze on food throughout the day because I never know when I'm going to be hungry!
So, if you are looking to adopt a cuddle motivated puppy that will love your resident dogs as much as you do, I'm your gal, and you should send in an application for me!
Adoption Fee: $760 + 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!
