History: Mrytle is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance from a rural impound out of North Dakota. Myrtle had a cardiology evaluation that showed mild subaortic stenosis and a mild aortic valve leak. At this time, both conditions are mild and not expected to affect her quality of life. Her cardiologist recommends a follow‑up echo when she is around a year old (when she reaches adult size), but no special day‑to‑day care or activity restrictions are needed.
A Note from the Foster: She really loves to go for walks and enjoys both in and outdoors. The snow does not bother her. She actually likes to play in it and sometimes would rather stay out than go in. As a younger dog she is very playful and full of energy. Travels well and does well in or out of her kennel. Occasionally she will complain softly for a minute or two when first put in her kennel. Super friendly and gets along with our other dogs. At first, she can be a little overly playful with some dogs. Don’t know how she would react to cats. She does barks at the rabbits and deer that come into our yard. She has kept her kennel clean and has not had an accident in the house for quite some time. We have a string of bells on the door and she will usually ring them when she wants to go out. Given her early medical concerns we have been a little soft on her but are starting to teach her basic commands to sit and stay.
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!
