History: We recently held our annual Out of the Cold Rescue Effort and welcomed back 200+ animals to rescue. This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.
Baxter will do best with a confident and experienced family as he is a very confident and smart fella!
A Note from the Foster: Baxter is a playful, young guy with a tail that is always wagging. His foster family describes him as very smart and quick to learn new commands. Baxter knows kennel, come and sit. He is working on his leash manners and is doing great walking alongside his foster Mom. He is food motivated and has learned that he needs to sit nice to be rewarded with a treat and head scratches.
Baxter enjoys being with his people. He loves all the people he has met and is always down for pets and cuddles. He has done well with the kids (and their friends) in his foster home, but does need some reminders that playing does not include his teeth. His favorite toys include rope toys, treat toys and chew toys to help with those puppy teeth, and of course - food!
Potty training has been going great with a consistent schedule. Baxter is quick to go outside and do his business. He keeps his kennel clean and dry at night, and during the day while his foster family is away at work. He has been sleeping through the night in his kennel and quiets down quickly after a few minutes.
If you are looking for a loving boy that enjoys being with people, both large and small, Baxter is the boy for you!
Adoption Fee: $550 + 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!
