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: Hello! My name is Stella! My foster family thinks I am just the sweetest girl in the world. At 11 months old I'm already potty trained, sleep in my crate with zero peeps throughout the night and am such a good listener. My favorite thing to do is CUDDLE! I love long pets and laying my head on you. At nighttime my foster mama pets me by the fireplace and I fall asleep snoring. It just feels so good! I may not have 100% of my eyesight due to a condition I was born with but I can still make my way around really well! Once I got used to my foster family's house I had no problem getting around! I can go up and down a few stairs but haven't mastered big stairs yet. I get along with everyone I meet! I love kids, cats and especially love to play with other dogs. Tug a war has been my new favorite game! I'm very patient as my foster family likes to put bandanas and reindeer ears on me. They are just getting me ready for the Holiday spirit!
Adoption Fee: $560 + 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!
