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: Hi! My name is Pumpkin, and it’s not just because of my color, I’m also as sweet as pumpkin pie!
I’m a little shy at first. I’m still learning that humans are here to give me love, and I haven’t met one yet who doesn’t make my tail wag! It doesn’t take long for me to warm up and trust you and I’ll be your shadow.
I am learning all of these new things about living in a home with a family! I have been sleeping in my crate all night with no complaints or messes. During the day if my foster family leaves I go into the kennel as well, although I do have a few things to say about that if I hear you still in the house, I settle down quickly. Practice makes perfect right?!
A few other things I’ve been doing are learning to walk on a leash and go potty outside. I’m picking these up quickly! I’m currently living with kids and another dog, I tend to be the submissive type, but I crave attention from both hoomans and fur-friends! Once I get used to this kind of positive attention, I am going to continue to thrive! My playful puppy side is already starting to shine!
Could you be the family that gets to enjoy my full potential?! After all, Tis’ the season, get yourself some pumpkin flavored puppy love!

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!
