History: We recently welcomed a group of adult Wheaten Terriers who were being released from a commercial breeding program after the program was selling out. It is a big feat for these and any future wheatens that would have been produced from this program.
The ones who came to CHDR are doing well in their foster homes but very shut down and timid yet. They will thrive with patient and confident adopters who are willing to put the time into growing a bond with their new dog as it may take some time to develop but these dogs are SO SO worth it. They are amazing souls who each deserve their forever home!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Aiden, a male 2-year-old Wheaten Terrier, recently released from a breeder.
He is very timid and skittish with people, usually choosing to hide or run away rather than approach. He has never shown any aggression. No growling, no biting, he’s simply frightened. He adores other dogs and will flourish in a home with gentle, friendly pups.
He usually needs to be coaxed into entering or exiting the house, but he knows how to go to the bathroom outside and always keeps his kennel space clean.
Aiden loves food and treats, and is just beginning to explore toys when no one is watching. He may need help being carried through doorways or up/down stairs until he feels safe.
This special dog needs an experienced, extremely patient home that understands shy dogs and is willing to let him warm up on his own timeline. If you have the quiet space and gentle heart he needs, Aiden could be your perfect match.

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!

History: Bengal is a handsome little fella who is doing well after being returned to rescue. He does take time to meet and feel comfortable around strangers. This could take all of 4 minutes or could be 4+ days with new people. Trust is hard for him but give him time on his terms without pushing him into loving us people, and he becomes your best friend and very loyal and loving to his people. He hopes to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: 🐾 Meet Bengal — Your Next Best Friend Is Waiting!
If you’re looking for a cuddle bug who will steal your heart (and your lap), Bengal is your guy. This sweet, good-natured boy is everything you hope for in a dog — affectionate, smart, and genuinely easy to love.
Life with Bengal looks like this:
Lazy Sunday mornings with a warm dog curled up beside you. Evening walks through the neighborhood. A pup who already knows sit and down — and learned both in a single day. Yes, really.
Here’s what makes him special:
• 💤 Fully potty trained & crate trained — sleeps through the night without a peep
• 🛏️ Flexible sleeper — happy in his crate or snuggled up in your bed
• 🐕 Gets along beautifully with large dogs — he even holds his own in a tug-of-war with a 90-pound dog!
• 🦮 Good on leash — he’s a bit of a zig-zaggy explorer, but we’re working on it and he’s making progress
• 🧠 Quick learner with an eagerness to please — and treats make him very motivated to show off
• 🧸 A true toy lover — he plays hard and is working on sharing his favorites. He’s made real progress and continues to improve every day
• 🏷️ Still learning to respond to his name, so patience and consistency will go a long way
Best fit:
Bengal would thrive in a home that can keep up with his energy through daily walks and shower him with the love he absolutely gives back. Have treats handy — training this boy is a genuine joy. A family that understands he’s still growing and learning will help him become the best version of himself. He would do best in a cat-free home.

History: Bob Bilby is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome who is working on his trust and confidence and hopes to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Bob Bilby! 🤎
Better known around here as Bobby, this sweet Mini Aussie boy recently arrived in rescue and has already been working so hard on learning that the world can be a safe place.
Bobby is a very gentle, sensitive soul who will need a patient and understanding adopter willing to let him move at his own pace. Since coming into rescue, he has made wonderful progress, but he’s still very timid and nervous, especially around new people, sudden sounds, and unfamiliar situations. At the same time, he’s incredibly curious and wants so badly to be brave.
Once Bobby feels comfortable, his personality starts to peek through. He loves exploring, enjoys playing with other dogs, and would absolutely thrive with a confident resident dog to help show him the ropes. Having a canine buddy gives him comfort and helps build his confidence. He also enjoys toys and chew bones here and there, and you can tell he’s a very smart, observant little guy quietly taking everything in.
When Bobby feels overwhelmed, he tends to pace and will need reassurance, patience, and consistency while he learns to trust. Because of this, he would do best in a calm, quieter home without a lot of chaos or rambunctious activity.
A securely fenced yard would be a huge plus for Bobby, as he is definitely a flight risk and would love to go on a sudden adventure set at his own pace.
This special boy isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for someone kind enough to let him bloom in his own time. Somewhere out there is the person who will help Bobby realize he never has to be scared again. 🐾

History: Bowmore is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Bowmore is a 1.5 yr old miniature poodle who is an absolute sweetheart! He is such a happy guy who loves doing zoomies and playing with toys. He likes to be where his people are, either snuggling on the couch or laying by your feet (where he is right now as I am typing this). He does great with our 2 large resident dogs and our cat who is the same size he is! He is very smart, loves to check out everything, yet always keeps an eye on where we are. Bowmore keeps his crate clean all night and is doing great on potty training with regularly scheduled breaks outside. He is also great in the bathtub and let me groom him and comb out the mats on his feet. This little guy is quite the catch and is an all around rockstar!

History: Calvin is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Our wee ginger friend Calvin joined us about two weeks ago and has been doing so well settling in and getting used to the world and being a little dog in it.
He’s a little bitty Cavapoo weighing in at just a bit over 5 pounds but is working on some big dog vibes as he is coming out of his shell and showing his spunky sassy side.
Common with many breeder release dogs, he arrived pretty reserved and pensive about all the new things coming his way but he has done incredibly well adapting and learning while adjusting to being in a safe and love filled home full of other critters helping show him what the good life can be.
He’s not a huge fan of being in a kennel and prefers to be very close to our resident dogs or humans. He does calm down once he’s in and we think with continued practice and greater confidence he’ll do great in a crate as needed.
He’s got potty training down pretty well with consistent opportunities to go outside. He does surprisingly well in leash for walks and really likes a trot through the park. He’s only chewing on dog friendly toys and chewies, isn’t super food motivated and is working on taking treats directly from our hands. He loves to be held and snoozing with the other small breeds dogs.
He seems to do well with people of all ages - though he is still very cautious with people and can get spooked by sudden movements or loud noises. He slipped right in with our resident dogs, is curious about our big kitty and ferrets.
He’s the sweetest little button and will make someone the most darling purse puppy ever. We think he’d do best in a home with another dog friend that could keep him company and be a dog mentor continuing to help his confidence.

A Note from the Foster: Hi! I'm Chummy, one of the happiest dogs you'll ever meet. I am eager to follow you anywhere! I LOVE to zoom around the yard and chase balls.
I am quiet in my kennel and keep it clean and dry. I am working on my leash manners, but I know I'll get there! Sometimes I am just too excited to get where we are going and can't help myself.
Do you need an adventure buddy? Someone who'll be there no matter what? That's me!

History: Clifford is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Clifford is an 8-month-old delightful Pomeranian. He’s very affectionate and is the type to jump into your arms. He loves to be held and is a quick learner. Although quite content to sit in your lap and watch television, he can also have a lot of energy. He enjoys playing fetch, running, and interacting with other dogs and people. He'll sleep 8 hours through the night in his kennel. He does well with his potty training when kept on a schedule, but can surprise you with an accident if given too much freedom. He loves to chew and will benefit from ample chew toys and reward treats. Because he is quite the explorer, he is attracted to plants, and should be watched closely when outside so as not to ingest something he shouldn’t. He isn’t especially vocal, but will bark when he sees himself in a mirror or is frightened.
He has recently learned to climb steps, but isn’t quite confident to go down them yet

History: We recently received a plea to help in an overcrowded area where shelters are full to the brim and needing help urgently. Whether unclaimed or no longer wanted, they now have a loving home here at CHDR until they each find a forever home of their very own!
A Note from the Foster: Dano is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves cuddling and trying to fit onto his people's laps. He is incredibly friendly and enjoys meeting new people and playing with other dogs. While he has no barrier reactivity, his high energy and lack of personal space can sometimes be overwhelming for other dogs. He would be a wonderful fit for a family with older children who won't be easily knocked over by his enthusiasm.
Dano is an active dog who loves walks and hiking in the woods; he can easily handle 2-3 miles and still have energy for fetch. He would likely make an excellent running companion. He is also a very fast learner and is highly motivated by treats and praise. He has already learned to relax in his kennel or his "place" in the kitchen and is currently working on retrieving and loose-leash walking.
Regarding house training, Dano appears to be fully potty trained. He is also comfortable sleeping in his kennel through the night and entering it for rewards. His primary challenge is separation anxiety; he may bark, whine, or pull nearby items into his kennel to chew on when left alone. With patience, consistency, and continued training, he has great potential to overcome this.

History: Dennis has had two major surgeries in his young life. The first was to address an instability that he had in his neck. The vertebra were unstable causing pain and instability in walking. Surgery was done in March 2025 to stabilize the affect vertebra. He has been doing very well since and we expect him to not have any long term concerns. It is recommendation to not allow any stair or jumping up and down off of furniture.
The second surgery was to address his bilateral luxating patellas. This surgery was done in June 2025. Both knees were done at the same time. The surgery was done to keep the patellas in the correct position as he bends his knees. He also has been doing quite well since those surgeries.
It is recommended going forward to use a harness and not a collar for him.
A Note from the Foster:Dennis a tiny 4 lbs sweet gremlin who will love you with his whole heart! He will also keep you busy, on your toes and provide you with laughter and smiles every day. Dennis is a pretty typical Pomeranian. He has an opinion on everything and he very loudly shares his thoughts. So, shared walls may not be the best for him or the neighbors. He’s a Velcro dog who anticipates where you may be going whenever you get up. Get used to Dennis meeting you in the bathroom.
He doesn’t bark. He yacks. Yes, yacks in rapid succession but, always with a smile. Dennis is very trusting so he will simply fall into your arms assured you will catch him. He sleeps on my bed, because he’s not a fan of crates. He’s a good bedmate who will climb up on your chest, fall over with his front legs in the air, so your hands can substitute for a mobile that he can bat around for some minutes, until without warning he gets up and goes to the far corner of the bed and goes to sleep. It’s one of the many Dennis things that makes him the tiny little tyrant you will love.
Dennis would do best in a home without young children, because he is so small and somewhat fragile due to his spinal surgery (he was born without a connection between his C1-C2 vertebrae, which was joined in a very complicated surgery). His ideal home would also be with someone who is home most of the time, as Dennis complains loudly whenever I go anywhere without him. He loves to be carried outside in a sling, although you have to be a wee bit careful he won’t jump out in excitement if he starts to yack in excitement when he sees someone he knows or simply something interesting. Potty training is ongoing, and may always be ongoing, because he’s really not interested in learning. Walking in a harness on a leash can also be hit or miss, hence the sling.
Dennis is a 4 lbs little guy with a 4 ton personality, who will consider you to be his assistant rather than a Mom or Dad. But I promise you will fall in love with him and all, well at least almost all, of his quirks the first time you pick him up and look at his bright eyes and little smile!

A Note from the Foster: Hi! I'm a 20lb Lhasa Apso that recently came to Coco's Heart Rescue. They named me Earl, but my Foster Mom says she likes to call me Buddy. I was pretty scared when I went home with them. But here I am, happy! My tail curls up over me when I'm happy. It was really weird cuz they put me on a leash and I froze! I couldn't move on the sidewalk, let alone that green stuff all over they call grass! But guess what! I'm running on a rope and jumping on the grass! Then there was this thing they called a step. You have to go up or down it. Really weird. But I learned that little trick pretty fast. In fact, I jump off of that step thing now. But it's still odd to go up, but I'm working on that.
I have a little Foster brother with me and he's kind of cool. We get along very well. I sleep well in my kennel at night. During the day I am penned in a large area in their home so I can roam around while being watched (I watch them too!). I love being outside. There is so much to explore.
I hope I get a family that would like to teach me to play. I'm very quiet, trusting, and a little crazy sometimes! I'm a pretty fast learner too. She says I'm coming out of my shell, but I'm not a turtle so I don't understand that. She called me Houdini a few times because as I try to figure out how to see better, slide a gate over, use my nose to get what I want. I'm pretty smart she says!
I hope to get my forever home soon!

History: Fitz is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome who is working on his trust and confidence and hopes to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Fitz is a handsome 1-year-old Havanese with a gentle heart and a quiet, observant nature. As a breeder-release pup, he’s still learning what it means to feel safe and comfortable in a home — and watching him discover the world in his own way has been really special.
Fitz is the definition of a “watch first, trust later” kind of dog. He takes his time getting to know new people and prefers to observe from a distance before deciding to engage. While he’s not ready for cuddles just yet, he is starting to show little “glimmer” moments — following his people around, coming closer to investigate, and even taking treats when he feels safe.
One of Fitz’s favorite things? Being outside. Give him a yard and a little space, and you’ll see his personality shine — zoomies, curiosity, and even some playful moments start to come out. It’s a glimpse into the happy, carefree dog he’s becoming.
Fitz absolutely lights up around other dogs and takes great comfort in their presence. He would do best in a home with a confident, friendly dog who can help show him the ropes and build his confidence. He watches, learns, and gains bravery from his canine companions.
Because of his sensitive nature, Fitz is looking for a very specific kind of home:
A calm, patient household willing to let him move at his own pace
A confident, social resident dog would be helpful
A securely fenced yard would be a great fit — he’s beginning to enjoy walks but still prefers the freedom to explore at his own pace
Someone home often or able to provide consistency
Dog-savvy children or an adult-only home (he does best in a predictable, low-pressure environment)
Fitz is not the kind of dog who will be your instant best friend — but for the right person, he will be incredibly rewarding. He is already showing that he wants to trust, he just needs someone willing to meet him where he’s at and celebrate the small wins along the way.
If you have a soft spot for the shy ones and understand that the best bonds are built with time, Fitz might just be your perfect match.

History: Goulash is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Goulash is still figuring out that the world can be a safe and happy place. At first everything was overwhelming—he was too nervous to eat and barely felt comfortable going to the bathroom.
Little by little he’s been coming out of his shell. Each day he grows a bit braver, a bit more curious, and a bit more trusting. Now he’ll come up to us on his own, asking for affection and connection, which feels like a huge milestone for him.
One of the best glimpses of his personality shows when he’s outside. Goulash absolutely loves his freedom—give him some open space and he transforms. Watching him run through the park, hopping through the tall grass like a tiny deer, you can see his joy take over. In those moments, he’s not the scared pup from day one—he’s playful, light, and full of life.
He still has some growing to do, but his progress has been incredible. With a little patience, love, and consistency, Goulash is showing us more and more each day just how special he is.

A Note from the Foster: Hi! I'm Jetts! I'm a young Yorkshire Terrier. My Foster Mom says I'm a bit shy. But she knows I have a crazy side when I flip upside down on the grass and wiggle around! I like to walk, but sometimes I just plop down! I sleep great in my crate at night. Otherwise I stay in a penned in area at her house, only because she is learning to know and trust me. I'm winning! I've been really pretty darn good about doing my business outside.
I love to sit outside and watch the world go by. She is amazed how quiet I am! I am not one of those little yapper dogs. I'm very dignified! I had a bath today, and really did not like it, but I don't think I've had too many. I'm looking and smelling pretty darn good. I have a brother, another foster staying with us. He has become a good buddy of mine. He likes to lay beside me and sometimes he squishes me a bit cuz he's a 20lb Lhasa Apso and I'm only 10 pounds.
In the evening I get snuggle time with my Fosters on the couch. I really like watching Family Fued!
My Foster took me to a Dog Days event and there were so many people! But guess what?
So many people wanted to hold me and I wasn't scared at all. Pretty chill actually. Not one of those Nervous Nelly types! I think though that I'd prefer kids a bit older, like grade school age or a nice retired person(s) that would be around to keep me busy all day, although I enjoy my nap time.

History: Mister Coney is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet your new favorite tiny friend: a red dapple dachshund who looks exactly like a perfectly baked loaf of marble rye - swirled, toasty, and just begging to be adored.
He may be low to the ground, but his personality is sky-high. This little dude operates on two speeds: zoomies and burrito. One minute he’s sprinting across the room like he just remembered he has legs, and the next he’s aggressively burrowed under a blanket, refusing to come out unless snacks are involved.
He’s currently mastering important life skills like “outside is for potty,” “socks are not snacks,” “humans are excellent pillows," and "time alone isn't so bad." He’s smart, stubborn, and ridiculously lovable—the full dachshund experience.
Ideal home requirements: soft blankets, a sense of humor, and a willingness to be bossed around by a dog shaped like a baguette.
Adopt him and you’ll never be bored again.

Gender: Male
Breed: Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Age: Est DOB: 03/2024
Weight: 37 lbs
Dog Friendly: Yes- needs another dog in the home
Cat Friendly: Unknown
Kid Friendly: Unknown
House Trained: Doing great!
History: We recently welcomed a group of adult Wheaten Terriers who were being released from a commercial breeding program after the program was selling out. It is a big feat for these and any future wheatens that would have been produced from this program.
The ones who came to CHDR are doing well in their foster homes but very shut down and timid yet. They will thrive with patient and confident adopters who are willing to put the time into growing a bond with their new dog as it may take some time to develop but these dogs are SO SO worth it. They are amazing souls who each deserve their forever home!
A Note from the Foster: Niall is a Wheaten Terrier and a breeder release who is only just beginning to learn what it means to feel safe, loved, and cared for. He is a very sweet, gentle soul with a shy, timid nature, and he will need a calm, patient family willing to let him move at his own pace. For Niall, trust will be built slowly, through quiet routines, soft voices, and kindness he can count on.
Right now, the world still feels a little scary to him. Sudden movements, loud noises, and busy environments can easily overwhelm him. When someone walks into the room, he may cringe, run away, or look worried, as if he is expecting something bad to happen. It is clear that Niall has not had the kind of human comfort, love and spoiling every dog deserves, so he is still learning that people can be a source of safety instead of fear. It is heartbreaking to see, but it also makes his gentle soul stand out even more.
Because underneath that fear is an incredibly sweet dog. Niall has never shown any aggression at all. He is quiet, soft, and completely non-vocal so far. In fact, we have not heard him bark once. And even though he is scared, he truly wants to be near people. He likes to be close, to hang out nearby, and to simply be with you. There is something especially touching about a dog who is still afraid, yet clearly wants so badly to believe in love and companionship. We do have a work from home situation, which is likely ideal for Niall to begin to learn trust.
Niall does well in his crate and also does well going potty outside when he is kept on a schedule. He will often start pacing when he needs to go out, so learning his cues is important. He is not currently walking on a leash and needs to be carried outside and back in for bathroom breaks. Because of that, a home with easy access to a securely fenced yard may be especially helpful as he continues to gain confidence.
He does well with our calm senior resident dog, and that quiet dynamic seems to suit him best. A peaceful older dog could be a nice fit, but younger, more active dogs would likely be too overwhelming for him right now. We are unsure how he would do with cats. Because Niall is so easily startled, we believe he would do best in a home with adults or older, respectful children only.
Niall is looking for a gentle home. A home that will understand his fear, celebrate his small victories, and give him the time he needs to realize that he is finally safe. He is a truly sweet dog with a tender heart, and for the family willing to be patient, earning Niall's trust will be something very special.

Peanuts is available as a foster to adopt
Gender: Male
Breed: Pomeranian
Age: DOB: 09/2024
Weight: 6.5 lbs
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Unknown
Kid Friendly: Unknown
House Trained: Doing great!
History: Peanuts is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome who is working on his trust and confidence and hopes to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Peanuts, the Pomeranian
Specs
Age: 1.5 years
Weight: 6.4lbs
Color: Orange Sable
Personality: Gentle • Affectionate • Sassy
Special Moves: The “where did you go” howl
Here’s a bit of what his day-to-day is like:
- He is happiest when he can be with his person/people, so he follows you around and wants to be a part of whatever you're doing!
- Peanuts was from a commercial breeding facility, so he's still learning how to be a house dog. It took some time for him to realize he was allowed to play with toys and that he can go outside just to hang out.
- He likes to play with plushies both big and small, and chew on yak cheese. He has also learned how to play with the foster's resident dog.
- He eats about ⅓ cup of dry food a day. He eats when he's hungry and stops when he's full. He’s also not possessive of food (and neither is the resident dog) so kibble is typically eaten at a more leisurely pace throughout the day.
Perks:
- He's spunky and not afraid to tell a much bigger dog when they've crossed a boundary
- He gets along with the foster's resident Pomsky and other humans he's interacted with.
- He's genuinely sweet.
- Travels well in the car (crated).
- His coloring is gorgeous and he photographs beautifully.
- Likes exploring outside
- Loves being held and carried around
- Loves to cuddle up on your lap or on a soft pile of blankets nearby.
Things he is still learning:
- He struggles with going down stairs, possibly due to his tiny size and lack of exposure.
- Potty-training is in progress and will require continuous training in his new home. It is advised to put him in a belly-band until he has acclimated to his new environment (will be provided).
- He is not fixed, so he marks around the house and yard a lot. This usually fades post neuter, but the belly band also helps with this when indoors.
- He has separation anxiety. It makes him extremely uncomfortable to be left alone, and will howl about it until soothed. He has improved a lot in the past 3+ weeks while in foster care, but will require ongoing support.
An ideal human for Peanuts is someone who:
- Loves a tiny dog
- Wants to show this sweet boy what a life of love feels like
- Is looking for a pal to bring (almost) everywhere
- Is committed to his grooming needs
- Can provide outdoor space for him to roam and loaf in the sun.
Peanuts has completed his Intake Exam, and is open for applications to adopt. He is scheduled for neuter/dental cleaning on July 7th.

History: Quillan is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Quillan — your future snorty little sidekick with the biggest personality packed into one adorable Frenchie body! At just 11 months old, this goofy guy is equal parts zoomies, cuddles, and comedy show.
Quillan has been having the time of his life playing nonstop with his foster brother and would absolutely love a home with another playful pup to wrestle and romp around with. Like a true French Bulldog, he’s full of hilarious expressions, random bursts of energy, dramatic sighs, and those classic snorts and snores that Frenchie lovers know and adore. He’s basically a tiny clown in a bulldog suit.
This handsome boy is great on a leash, rides wonderfully in the car, and has done amazing with kids, cats, and other dogs. He loves being included in whatever his people are doing and would happily volunteer as your full-time shadow.
Quillan is still working through a little separation anxiety and can take some time to fully settle down at night, but he’s making great progress with consistency and reassurance. Once he feels safe and comfortable, his sweet and affectionate personality shines through even more.
If you’re looking for a playful, lovable, slightly goofy best friend who will keep you laughing daily and warm your couch at night, Quillan may just be your perfect match!

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: Scrap is a loyal, loving, and wonderfully goofy guy who enjoys the simple things in life. He loves playing with his favorite toys, chewing on a good bone, watching the world go by from a window, and relaxing in his cozy spot on the recliner. Once Scrap bonds with someone, he is incredibly devoted and happiest just being near the people he trusts.
Scrap would do best in a calm home environment as an only dog, though he may be able to live with the right female dog. He is not able to be around male dogs, including on walks or through nearby fencing. Because of this, Scrap is looking for a more rural home environment where he won’t frequently encounter other dogs. A home with a securely fenced yard and space from close neighbors would allow him to relax and enjoy being outside.
During play, Scrap can be pretty mouthy and is still learning appropriate play styles. Because of this, he would do best in a home without small children. He is looking for a family who understands dog behavior and can help reinforce boundaries.
Scrap has already shown that he is a quick learner and has started working on basic obedience skills. He responds well to structure and consistency and would thrive with an adopter who is excited to continue working with him and helping him build confidence.
Scrap may not be the right fit for every home—but for the right person, he will be an incredibly loyal, fun, and rewarding companion. 🧡

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!

Snoopy is available as a foster to adopt

House Trained: Doing great!
History: Snoopy is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Snoopy is an adorable and smart Pomeranian puppy, weighing in, upon his arrival, at 8 pounds on May 4, 2026. Snoop Dog’s birthday was May 14, so he is a year old now.
He has learned to sit for treats, and he tells me when he wants to go outside! He has caught on to “No!” and responds well to re-directing. He does his outside business and then likes to run around and play with the resident dog. He does wear a belly band for marking in the house, which will hopefully subside when he’s neutered. He is non-aggressive. He does well with walking on a leash and he comes when he’s called. He likes to be by his people. He is a bit frightened of new introductions but warms up amazingly fast. He loves cuddling! He loves being pet and being loved on. He truly aims to please.
After a short complaint session, Snoop sleeps quietly in his clean crate all night. I found out on the first day here, there is no pen built to hold Snoop! He is an accomplished escape artist and can climb in and out of any (30-36”) pen! So, he always drags a leash. He is a good eater and enjoys playing with toys and napping.
Anyone interested in adopting a perfect little Pom dog should check him out. He would potentially be available for the Foster to Adopt Program.
Adoption Fee: Our adoption fees typically vary from $510-$1260 + tax. Our coordinator will be in touch with you with specific information during the application processing. For more information on where our animals come from, here is some additional information. Thank you!

History: Sully is a handsome little fella who arrived to rescue recently and immediately warmed our hearts. He is officially ready to start his journey in finding his forever home and hopes to find them soon!
Sully has been diagnosed with a congenital subluxation of his left shoulder. This means that his shoulder joint , usually a loose ball and socket joint, is not well fitted. The bones involved are his scapula and the top of the humerus. There are other supportive structures for the joint including large muscles and tendons which should help keep him comfortable and walking well. At this time Sully becomes reluctant to walk after a few blocks but plays happily and comfortably with other dogs his size. We are treating him with a joint supplement called Dasuquin which he should continue for life. Additional things that Sully may require depending on his comfort level are physical therapy or joint injections. Only as a last resort to manage worsening pain and disuse would he need surgical fixation called an arthrodesis of his shoulder joint.
A Note from the Foster: I could be the best 6 month old boy EVER, is what my foster mama says about me 😁.
I get to go to work with her Monday - Friday and I am very respectful.
I’m potty trained, good in the car, love going for walks, and enjoy my cat brother, I listen when I bark and my mom says quiet- I stop right away! I’m such a good boy! Due to his barking, shared walls are not recommended.
One of my favorite things is getting my zoomies out in the yard!
I’m cautious around new people, but I will warm up to them. Oh gosh, almost forgot- love to kiss you with a nose boop! Shared walls are not recommended.

History: Trek is a handsome boy who needed help from a local impound when he went unclaimed. He was very very thin and had some open wounds going down his legs. His confidence was pretty low and he needed time to settle in and work on his trust. He is doing better each day and hoping to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Hi my name is Trek & I’m still looking for my forever family. I am a 1 1/2 year old brown lab mix. My foster mom likes to call me her little shadow because I like to be right next to my humans at all times. I have a little separation anxiety but we’re working on that and I’m getting more independent every single day! My parents think I am just fiercely loyal! I like to stay busy during the day and even run laps in the backyard with my foster sibling but when it comes time to relax, I LOVE to cuddle up with my humans on the couch. I am fully potty trained and crate trained and I even sleep all the way throughout the night without a peep.
I promise I am the smartest, kindest boy just looking for my second chance at life.

House Trained: Doing great!
History: Turtle is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Turtle — a one-year-old French Bulldog with a big personality, endless charm, and enough goofy energy to keep everyone laughing! This handsome little guy is the total package: playful, affectionate, social, and always ready to turn an ordinary day into an adventure.
Turtle has been having an absolute blast playing nonstop with his foster brother and would love a home where he can continue his daily wrestling matches and zoomie sessions. Like a true Frenchie, he’s full of hilarious facial expressions, dramatic grunts, adorable snorts, and the occasional “frog dog” sploot that French Bulldog fans know all too well. He’s basically a walking source of entertainment.
He’s fantastic on a leash, rides great in the car, and has done wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs. Turtle loves being around his people and is happiest when he’s part of the action — whether that’s going for a walk, playing with dog friends, or curling up nearby after a busy day.
Turtle settles in beautifully at night and has an easygoing, happy-go-lucky personality that makes him such a fun companion to have around.
If you’ve been looking for a playful, lovable Frenchie best friend with tons of personality and an even bigger heart, Turtle is ready to steal the show — and probably your spot on the couch too!

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 is Warrin. He is a 2 year old Shepard/Husky/and probably a bunch of other great dog breeds all mixed into one handsome guy. He came from North Dakota as one of the Out Of The Cold dogs, and it is a good thing he did because he is not real fan of the cold weather. He would much rather be inside a nice warm house next to his person, or people. When he first came into rescue he was very scared and leery of people. He was also hiding a sore leg or shoulder injury which made him a little defensive. But now that is all healed up he is showing his sweet personality.
Warrin is a big guy about 62 pounds now, when he first came he was very thin but he is doing a great job of putting on weight. And that is because he loves his food and treats. He is very food motivated which will make him very easy to train. He already knows sit and down and is working on stay and shake. He is also working on his heal. He does walk nicely on a leash without pulling when using a easy walker harness but he would rather walk in frount so he can get in all of the good smells, instead of walking along side of me. He absolutely loves going for walks and would probably go forever.
Warrin is working on his crate training. He will go into his crate and sleeps in it quietly all night but he is not a big fan of being in his crate when I leave the house. He can get a little anxious at times, he was pretty anxious when he first came, so he is on medication to help with that. But now that he feels comfortable here and knows he is safe he is leaning that he can just lay and chew on his bone and nothing bad will happen to him.
Along with chewing on his bone another passtime Warrin loves is playing fetch. A tennis ball, a rubber ball, a snow ball he does not care. He loves to go after them and will nicely bring it back and drop it at your feet so you can throw it again. However he has found the snowball are a little harder to do that with and will sometimes come back with nothing but a sad look on his face because he can not find it.
Warrin has been good with the different dogs that he has met. He currently lives with a resident 1 year old puppy who plays very rough. But Warrin is very gentle with her although he is pretty vocal when he plays so I do have to brake them up sometimes. He also lives with a grumpy 15 year old Dochshund who he is very respectful to. When Warrin meets another dog on a walk he just ignores them.
Warrin is house trained, he learned very quickly how to ask to go outside. He would do best in a house with older kids or no kids since he is big and still young and does not always understand his own strength. He would be fine in a house with another dog but he would also be very happy being the only dog and not having to share his people.
If you would like to help Warrin on his journey to a new and better life, he would love to meet you.
