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: Briley, mostly known Riley or Short Cake is thriving in her foster home. She is a cuddle bug! If allowed on the couch, she will snuggle up as close to you as possible. She is just a complete sweetheart.
She has adjusted to our schedule and is eating early morning and late afternoon. I can tell she has been allowed to eat human food so we limit her exposure. She still gets plenty of treats for being a good girl though. Her favorite activity to sleeping close to one of our resident dogs (see picture) and they have been playing more and more. She does not like the cold but will go out, do her business and bolt right back in. She has a coat but still prefers the warmth of inside.
Over Thanksgiving she met a lot of new people and would get very excited at first but with consistent correction to stay down she waited her turn for pets. Once someone sat down, she joined them for some snuggle time.
Riley has an appointment to some dental work done coming up and will be ready for her very own forever family to snuggle, snuggle, snuggle.
Adoption Fee: $500 + 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!
