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: Cruz - this puppy is your pal from day one. Where his foster mom goes, he wants to go. He is so excited to be near you each moment and just happy to be included. He may be smaller than his siblings but he has the best baby shepherd bark that lets others know he is a boss too. Cruz is working on pottying outside - with his schedule of outside after eating and sleeping, he is starting to understand. He loves a bath and will cuddle in after while drying off. At night, he is a little dramatic when he doesn’t see his foster mom anymore but does quiet down. He is truly a sweet gentleman and is going to make a family so happy. 

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!
