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! I'm Lainey! Foster mom calls me that after someone named Lainey Wilson. So sometimes she calls me Laineyyyyy Wilson (in a sing songy voice). I do like the songs she plays me. I even listen. I came to stay at her house when some nice people picked me up "Out of the Cold" and brought me here.
When I got to rescue I had a pretty bad cold and a hurt eye but Foster mom and the vets took really good care of it and I am doing SO much better. Foster mom says I'm going to be beautiful my whole life. My ears are fluffy and my coat is very soft.
I LOVE being an indoor dog and I adapted really quickly to being a "very good girl!" I'm about 12 weeks old so I am still a pup but - I potty outside and sleep in my kennel without any fuss! Wait til you see how good I am!!
I am pretty quiet most of the time. I like to sit near my favorite people and cuddle. I lay on the floor by feet or on the couch when I'm allowed. Foster mom rubs my soft spotted belly and I LOVE it! I don't do things most puppies do like bark, whine, nip or look for things to chew or be naughty. I am so good that my human Foster brother thinks I am an old dog. Maybe I have an old soul but I am still a puppy! Once in a while I let loose and run and wrestle.
I can't WAIT to meet my forever family and love them so so so much!
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!
