History: Giddyup needed a second chance at a good life and arrived to rescue with the help of Lightshine Rescue whose efforts are focused on a rural reservation in South Dakota where resources are low.
A Note from the Foster: I’ve had Giddyup for a bit now and he’s soooo stinking cute, he’s a shepherd mix, around nine weeks old and beautiful. He’s a little dude, about six pounds, has really become comfortable with us. Potty training in full swing, he knows what to do outside as far as the potty training and got the hang of it quickly, this weather has not cooperated so I’m giving him a lot of credit. He is still young and not giving me a signal other than I watch him and take him out often. He does well in the kennel overnight in our room, he makes a fuss overnight if he wants to go out, I take him out, he does his business quickly and back in his crate to sleep. Some nights once some nights a few times. He is a snuggler, seems to learn quickly, and just adorable. He has two vet appointments scheduled and will be good to go after February 1st.
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!
