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: Neptune is ready to wriggle his way into your heart, and on your couch if you let him! He's hard to resist with beautiful amber-colored eyes, fur like velvet, and that adorable blocky head.
This beefy boy LOVES people! He greets people of all ages with tail wags, licks, and maybe a little whine if you walk by without giving him some love. He is perfectly housetrained, goes willingly into his crate for work days and overnights and doesn't make a peep while in there!
He is super smart and loves training with the kids in his foster home. He is a pro at 'sit', 'shake', and 'down' so far. He has a very soft mouth and is comfortable with people near him while he eats or chews on a bone. He has not spent time with other dogs here yet but he has shown friendly interest when greeting them through the fence.
This boy is all muscle but with the right collar/harness, he is a great walking partner. He loves to play with balls, squeakers, and plush toys....but only the strongest toys will survive! He can get over-excited and jump on people or the counter if something smells interesting, but he responds well to firm and consistent redirections. For that reason, he will likely be happiest in a home without young children.
We think Neptune is out of this world and we hope you will too!
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!
