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.
A Note from the Foster: Birdie is the snuggliest puppy you’ll ever meet. Her favorite place in the world is in your lap, soaking up all the love and attention. When she's not snuggling, Birdie can usually be found curled up in front of the fireplace, staying cozy and warm.
This sweet girl is doing fantastic with her potty training and is making great progress with crate training. She settles down quietly in her crate when she's a little sleepy but may bark for a bit if she's not quite ready for bed.
Birdie loves to play with her puppy sister and our resident dog, though she’s still figuring out how to coexist with cats (she likes to bark at them). She’s also a big fan of mealtime—her love of food makes her very trainable and eager to learn.
On walks, Birdie is working on staying calm around other dogs, as she tends to bark when she sees them. Her future family will need to help her continue to build confidence and improve her leash manners.
Birdie would thrive in a home that can provide her with lots of snuggles, plenty of love, and a bit of patience as she learns the ropes. If you’re looking for a warm and affectionate companion, Birdie is your girl!
Adoption Fee: $750 + 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!
