History: I am Shima’s puppy and was born in rescue!

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!

Momma Shima arrived to rescue with her adorable kiddos and have been doing well in rescue. They are now officially ready to each find forever home of their very own!

A Note from the Foster: Juneau is a smart, easy going, and playful puppy! She is really intelligent and would likely do well with things like scent training, tricks, or other things to keep her mind busy. She is doing beautifully with crate training. She loves her crate and will go in there just because she wants to. She is learning quickly with potty training and doing really well. She is sometimes waking once in the night to go potty, but goes straight back to bed. She keeps her crate dry overnight. 

She spends most of her day snuggled on her dog bed, playing with toys, looking for sticks outside, inquiring what all the humans are doing, and enjoying some cuddles. She loves belly rubs. She is highly food-motivated and learns quickly. 

Juneau loves people of all ages, including kids. She just wants someone to play and snuggle with! 

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!
