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 there! My name is Macaroon, aka Mac, and I’m sweeter than any dessert you’ve ever had!
I’m new here - I came from chilly North Dakota and am now learning how to “dog” in Minnesota. It’s been quite the journey, and I’m still getting the hang of this whole “inside” thing. Thankfully, I’ve got a great foster family who is showing me the magic of beds, treats, and snuggles. I’ve officially decided snuggles are my favorite. My forever family will have to continue helping me learn the ropes when it comes to being a pampered pet, but don’t worry, I’m loving it already. I’m super smart and love to earn a good treat for learning a new trick! My foster papa is my favorite person and I stay glued to their side whenever I can. They have to be careful not to trip on me since I won’t leave their side!
I’m very curious about my foster siblings. Most of the time, we are a great pack. I’m not used to having my own food and shelter though, so I’m still learning how to share with them. I would benefit from having doggy siblings who are patient with me and are okay with going slow when we meet! My foster family doesn’t have any little humans or cats, but they think I’d be great with kids or kitties as I’m such a gentle giant.
My crate is my safe space and I love to cuddle with my blankies, but sometimes it takes a little bribery to get me in there when it’s not my idea. My foster parents say I’m the best leash walker ever! Sometimes my foster mama has to check to make sure I’m still attached since I walk with such a loose leash right by her side. I’ve done a great job with potty training - I sit right by the back door and wait patiently to go outside and come trotting back in to my warm bed when I’m all done.
I’m a big couch potato, give the BEST hugs and I can’t wait to find my forever snuggle buddies!
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!
