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: This guy is about the happiest that they come🤩 He pretty much has a permanent smile on his face 24/7 & wants to be involved in everything I do.

He currently lives with my three resident dogs - ranging from 8 to 60lbs🐶 He gets along with all. Riggs especially has taken a liking to my two large dogs, who are about the same size as him. 👯‍♀️

Riggs wants to PLAY all the time, even when my two resident dogs are sleeping, he’s trying to get them to play.

Riggs is fully potty trained & keeps his kennel clean.🧻 He sleeps in his kennel at night & spends time in here throughout the day while I am working as well. He will sometimes protest this for a minute or two, but then settles in & is quiet until I let him out. Occasionally you’ll hear his husky shine through & he’ll let out a good wolf-like howl🐺

This smiley boy also rides great in the car in his kennel & you’d never even know he was there🚗

While Riggs does get along great with dogs, he does have some resource guarding tendencies. This comes as not a huge surprise as he came to us from ND, where he likely had to fight to survive. This however does not define him. We’re working on getting him into a good routine of learning to love his kennel - as he needs to eat in here as well as be kenneled whenever there’s human food present as well.🍔

Riggs is the best boy & hopes to meet you soon❤️🐾

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!
