A Note from the Foster: Thinking about an addition to your family?
Consider Thorne, you won’t be sorry! Thorne is in need of a permanent foster or placement in his permanent home by January 20th!
He arrived at Coco’s Heart on January 2nd from ND at approximately 3 months old. He has been with his rescue foster since day one and has been learning a lot. It took him a couple days to let his guard down, but not long to show his loving demeanor and playful side. After a few minutes of shyness, he does very well with others and enjoys playing with kids. He does well with pee pads, but needs work on going potty outside. Thorne sleeps all night in his kennel without accidents. He doesn’t make a sound if he is in a room where he knows you’re there. He still needs that reassurance. He hasn’t had the opportunity to be around other animals other than his siblings, but I’m sure he’d love the opportunity!
Adoption Fee: $760 + 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!
