A Note from the Foster: Hello, I'm Diggory, aka Diggs, Digger, Mr Diggs or Diggy Smalls… 😆 I've only been here 2 weeks, but I have settled in pretty well I think! I had a visit to a groomer my first day here, and she said I did really good. I was so tired, I even slept part of the time. I also got to spend the day with "the grandkids"? I don't know what that means, but they were little humans that just loved holding me and giving me all the pets. I am really comfortable with my foster family. I love being held, playing fetch and actually like playing by myself too. I love to play with my foster siblings, they are two small dogs like me! There are two cats here too. I don't mind them, and don’t chase them, but they aren't too sure of me yet.
There is somebody home here most of the time, so I haven't been left alone very much. It's also pretty quiet here, but I don't get bothered with any loud noises, or when the resident dogs bark. I am a puppy though, and I like chewing! So we are working on that, my foster mom just keeps redirecting me and giving me a chew toy or a bone. She says I'm a quick learner!
They've been taking me outside a lot. At first I didn't know what to do out there... everything is so new, and it was so cold. But I have learned really quickly to potty outside, as long as I’m taken out regularly. My foster mom gives me treats and tells me what a good boy I am, so I must be doing something right!
I don't mind being in my hex-pen when I can still see everyone, but I do want to be where my family is. I really don't like being left in there or in my crate when people need to leave. I'm working on it though.
They say I'm a Bichon. I'm about 4 months old, weigh about 7 lbs... and I am so excited to meet my forever family!
Adoption Fee: Our adoption fees typically vary from $500-$1250 + tax. Our coordinator will be in touch with you with specific information during the application processing. For more information on where our animals come from, here is some additional information.
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!
