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: Otto is such a playful puppy! He loves toys and bones to chew on. He’s picking was chewing on everything but he’s learned quickly what he can chew and what he cant.
He’s picking up on potty training, he’s learning from the other dogs we have. A routine has been very helpful. He does great with other dogs, big and small, also kids. He’s doing well on a leash and likes walks as long as he’s following his “friends” (our dogs).
He keeps his kennel clean, doesn’t like to be in his kennel and will let you know it but he settles down soon after. He voluntarily goes in with the promise of a treat. He’s very food motivated and is learning sit. He may like food a little too much as we are still working on “waiting our turn” for the treat.
He comes to me when he wants pets and belly rubs, He’s starting to want to cuddle when sitting on the couch also! He’ll make a good companion.
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!
