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: Tilly is a stunning gentle-giant! She is equally affectionate, relaxed, ready to play, loyal, and a total sweetheart. Tilly enjoys tussling with her foster brother and would play all day if we let them. However, Tilly does not need much exercise if you are looking for a more relaxed dog. We work from home and she spends most of the day quietly lounging near a window. She will belly-up at any chance to get some scratches! She invites you in with her soft autumn fur, gentle gaze and will want to curl up if you’d allow her. She does her best to be a lap dog!
Tilly has quickly earned the most trust in the house of all of our prior foster dogs. She has shown zero mischievous tendencies whatsoever. She also has not had a single accident in the home. Tilly is better behaved than our resident dog!
In classic shepherd form, she is excite-able around new dogs/people and does need controlled introductions. Once she gets a second to meet someone, she’s as loyal and friendly as can be. She is very interested in rabbits/squirrels, so no cats or small animals would be safest. She has not been around children but we predict she would do extremely well. She only barks at the occasional car or mailman and will occasionally quietly whine if you keep her separated from you by gate or crate.
Since giving birth to 8 fluffy puppies a couple months ago, our goal for Tilly is just enjoy all the love we can give and to gain some weight! Tilly is a great fit for a family who loves big dogs with gentle demeanors. She’s a sweet pea!
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!
