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 friends!! I’m Poppy. I’m the sweetest girl, at least that’s what my foster mom tells me. 

I came from Out of the Cold with my mom and siblings. I am happiest when I am playing with a toy or near my humans, and I LOVE to give kisses.  

I have picked up potty training SO early and am doing super well! My foster parents are very impressed with me, because I am learning to run to the door already when I have to potty. I’m still learning to love my kennel, because it’s lonely, but I am working really hard! 

I adore the big black lab that lives at my house, and love to play with him and follow him around. I’d love to have a sibling at my forever home, but I love my humans most of all, so it isn’t required. There is also a kitty that lives with me, and I want to be best friends with him. He isn’t the biggest fan of me, but I love him oh so much! I usually stay about a foot away from him and try to get him to play, if he’s up for it. 

Are you my forever family? I can’t wait to come home!! 

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!
