History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue efforts continue all winter long as we have recently welcomed another deserving group from our rural area partners in North Dakota.
A Note from the Foster: This little girl has completely stolen my heart. She is such a sweet, spunky, soft, cuddly ball of energy, and truly an angel in the house. She has zero bad habits: she doesn’t chew on anything she shouldn’t, doesn’t get into the garbage, and she’s not much of a beggar. She just wants to play, cuddle, and be near her people.
Her only challenge is that she’s still learning to read puppy cues. She plays hard and doesn’t always realize when smaller pups have had enough. I currently have three other little ones, and she thinks they’re her personal tug toys. She’s not aggressive—just enthusiastic—and she does wonderful with bigger or more confident dogs who will teach her appropriate boundaries. Because of this, her next foster home should not have small dogs or puppies. A younger, playful larger dog would be perfect for her.
A little about Lilo:
16 lbs, ~4 months old
Husky mix (likely with heeler based on her brother)
Spayed & adoption-ready
Kennel trained
Potty training in progress: she knows to go outside, potties about every 30–45 min when awake, and uses a potty pad about 90% of the time if I miss a break
Great with bigger dogs
Kids & Cats:
She has not been around kids or cats.
I don’t anticipate issues with kids—she isn’t jumpy, mouthy, or overly rough with people.
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!
