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!

Momma Chai arrived to rescue with her 5 adorable little kiddos and have been doing well in rescue. They are now officially ready to each find forever home of their very own!

A Note from the Foster: Hi! My name is Peony, but my foster family says I should really be called “Queen of the Goofy Ears.” 👑🐶

I’m a 5-month-old Shepherd mix weighing about 25 pounds of pure fun. My most famous features are my giant brown eyes (perfect for convincing humans to share snacks) and my very tall ears that help me hear things like treat bags opening from across the house.

My hobbies include:
• Running around my foster family’s big fenced yard like a tiny athlete
• Making friends with all humans (seriously, I love everyone)
• Playing with other dogs and kids
• Practicing my basic commands so people tell me I’m a “very smart girl”
• Accepting treats for training…and also for existing

I’m currently learning crate training and doing really well with potty training because I’m a fast learner when snacks are involved. 🍖

I haven’t met cats yet, but honestly I love everyone so I’d probably think they’re just weird little dogs.

What kind of home am I looking for?

Pretty much any home that will love me, play with me, and continue teaching me how to be the best dog ever. I promise to provide goofy entertainment, lots of love, and world-class ear modeling in return.

So if you’re looking for a sweet, energetic puppy with the cutest ears in town, I’m ready to pack my toys and move in.

Love,
Peony 🌸

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!
