History: I am a dog from the Out of the Cold Rescue Effort!

We recently were arrived back to rescue with over 400+ dogs and 20+ cats looking for a second chance after being surrendered to rescue. They are each going through their own individual journeys while in rescue- many needing extensive medical attention for orthopedic care, dentals, skin issues, etc. Other health concerns were goopy eyes, ear infections, mange, and in need of a good bath and grooming.

These deserving souls will get all the care they need and be ready to go home to your family soon!

The photos on the white couch are off when they arrived to rescue. Many will have already improved with any physical medical concerns going on as well as many having received a good bath (and some a groom) after the photos have been taken. Our foster families help us keep each dog’s profile as up to date as possible however if you are interested in learning more, please apply to adopt and once approved and connected to a foster family, they can send updated photos, bios, etc!

A note from the foster: Forever family pick me, please! My name is Ireland and I have been learning all about family life since I arrived to rescue from the Out of the Cold Rescue effort. At first, I was a bundle of nerves that came out in a burst of crazy energy, but thank goodness my foster mom was patient and understood I just needed some time. You see, I've never really had a home until Coco's Heart saved me, and I didn't quite understand what it was like to live in a house with people. But that's all behind me now, and I am pretty much the perfect dog....a bit of a couch potato, but hey, a girl needs to put her paws up and relax sometimes.

I am fully potty trained and have never had an accident in the house. I play very gently with new dogs that come to my home. I do benefit from slow introductions, but once I learn that the other dogs are friendly, I'm a gentle teddy bear. When strangers come to my house, I bark to warn everybody, but I make friends pretty much immediately after I introduce myself. I eat my kibble in my crate and have shown absolutely no resource guarding (even when a certain greedy little dog gets away from foster mom and finds herself in my dish.) Mom says I'm so patient and gentle.

I'm still working on my manners on a leash. My foster mom uses a slip lead and I've learned a lot (and so has she). I'm doing pretty good, but still need some reminders that I'm not supposed to pull. I also tend to get a bit excited and jump, mom uses the word "down" and turns her back on me. Usually I calm down and sit still to wait for pets when this happens. I am friendly and patient with kids and adults. The only concern mom has with me around little kids is if I jump and knock them over. She knows I would never hurt anyone on purpose. 

If a goofy, sweet and loving dog is what you are looking for....I'm your girl!

Adoption Fee: $500 + 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 impulsively 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!
