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: Kiera is settling in so nicely with us. We have two resident dogs, and while she was a bit nervous when she first met them, she’s become more comfortable every day and is starting to feel like part of the pack. She’s still learning how to share toys and play with others, but she’s smart, observant and is catching on quickly.
Kiera loves everyone she meets. She doesn’t jump on guests when they walk through the door, but if they sit down… she’s convinced your lap is fair game! She has perfected the slow, slinky attempt to climb into your lap—pretty funny for a 45-pound girl who thinks she’s being sneaky. She adores cuddling, settles in with us for TV time, and recently earned bedtime privileges by getting to sleep in the bed with us. She dives right under the covers and sleeps through the night without a peep. Every morning she wakes up happy and ready to start the day.
She had a couple of accidents (#2) in her first few days, but now that she’s on a routine, she’s doing great. She’s a fast learner and picked up on the house rules by watching the other dogs—like staying out of the kitchen while we cook and knowing exactly where to settle so she’s still part of the action.
For a “teenager,” she’s pretty mellow. She walks nicely on the leash (squirrels and bunnies, beware!) and playing with toys, but she prefers solo play and just hanging out nearby.
Kiera is an incredibly sweet girl who will quickly become your best friend, companion, and snuggle buddy. She’s ready to find a family who will cherish her as much as she’ll adore them!
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!
