History: We recently welcomed a group of deserving dogs who needed help from overcrowded rural shelters in Texas. They are settling into their foster homes and doing well as they start their journey in finding their forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Guess who’s back, back again….
DQ’s back, tell a friend.
Now you ask how does a pup get a name as cute as DQ? Sad story later, you find yourself dumped as a puppy outside a DQ in Texas.
Fortunately, DQ made his way via rescue transport to Wisconsin.
Immediately after arriving DQ was scooped up by a foster family. Hugged, kissed, and bathed with bubbles!
DQ quickly blossomed and showed us he has the best wiggle butt!
He is a happy go lucky pup! His silliness and snuggles are over the top!
His shiny red coat is stunning.
Fast forward DQ had found his new home, only to realize the resident cats were not happy with a puppy joining the household.
His family realized the stress with the cats and puppy, in an apartment, wasn’t going to be the best home for little DQ.
They had everything great to say about DQ. They even had him enrolled in training where he was excelling in the program!
DQ’s foster family was more than happy to welcome him back. WOW - he seems to be growing as fast as the weeds.
DQ didn’t hesitate to jump right into the kennel in the SUV at pickup time. I’m not sure how many puppies are brave enough to learn that so fast.
He is smart and listens well. Food motivate is a plus for training.
DQ goes right into the kennel for meals, snacks, naps, and bedtime.
He is gentle on the leash and will have a great big smile the entire walk.
DQ loves playing in the yard, going for walks, and wrestling with the other dogs in his foster home.
A+++ He comes potty trained. 😊😊
DQ LOVES his people and has been waiting patiently for his someone to call forever!
Do you have time for snuggles while watching TV?
A bud to take to the cabin for a swim, or a pup that likes run in the backyard with a silly smile.
Don’t miss out on Good Boy DQ!
Adoption Fee: $750 + 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!
