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: He is doing great! He has been good around our kids and other children ages as young as 2. We have two cats and he has done just fine. He has tried maybe once or twice to playfully chase or follow. We haven’t seen any aggression or behavior concerns. He does so well in his crate at night and during the day when I am in meetings or unavailable. Sven isn’t a very loud guy. However, he did prove me wrong about that when we went in for his initial vet visit. He happily shared his husky roots and serenaded the Coco’s office. Haha! He might bark a bit if someone comes to the door but usually settles fairly quick. He LOVES the snow! He would spend hours (if the weather would allow for it) outside running around with our pup (8 month husky/shepherd mix). With our first big snow storm he was so happy to walk right into a big pile of snow and bury his face! He did get groomed and did well with that. Initially he had a couple of pee accidents. Never poop. This hasn’t happened in the last few weeks. Sven also likes to cuddle and get scratched. He thinks he’s a smaller guy and likes to plop into your lap- which I love! He’s done so well and whoever opens their heart to him will have such a fantastic dog!
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!
