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: What can I say about Maverick, hes definitely a keeper! He is all pittie, loves fuzzy blankets, has no boundaries of space and wants to melt right into you whevever you lay! Maverick is working on potty training, has had some "oopsies" in the house, but he is learning to sit by the door and let us know its time to go out. Walks great on a leash but needs to gain some confidence and will walk behind you like a shadow, so we are working on that. Crate training is a bit of a struggle, he absolutely does not like it, so we have been treat training and hes doing ok with it as he is food motivated, but he is still very weary of getting all the way in and will not go in on his own. Once he is in he will lay down and be fine, but learning that his crate is a safe space is a work in progress. He is a complete love bug and super soft and those "eyes"!!!
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!
