A note from the foster: Ann is a a very sweet and smart little girl.  At almost 9 wks she is working on everything.  She is doing amazing at sitting for treats.  Almost has the sit for her meals down.  Doesn't unfortunately like her kennel at all so that's going to have to be a work in progress.  She is learning about going outside to go potty.  If caught at the right time she will definitely go potty outside.  Being as young as she is we have a lot of work to do.  She sleeps through the night snuggled up next to her foster mom.  It's so adorable to listen to her snore.  There hasn't been anything she won't play with.  Hasn't been one of explore and get into trouble.  Unless of course there's shoes out.  lol whoever adopts this adorable sweet cuddly Doberman will be so incredibly lucky.

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 impulsively 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!

A Note from the Foster: Audrey is adorable and super friendly! Her playful energy and boundless curiosity are so fun to see. Sheentered her foster home like she had always lived here. She loves meeting new people and other dogs. There is an older golden retriever in the home that she is learning the best skills from.

She is walking good on a leash with a lot of stops to sniff and explore. She enjoys playing tag in the yard and is learning to come when called. She will sit nice for a treat. She is very playful and when she gets excited, her little bark is so cute.

Audrey is doing good with potty training with regular outdoor time. Some of her favorite things are chewing on toys, snuggling for naps, belly rubs and eating! She is doing really well in her crate, she only cries for a few minutes and then settles and sleeps through the night. She keeps her crate clean and dry.

Audrey is so smart, with a little more training, she will be the best little girl!

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!

A Note from the Foster: Biscotti is super smart. Will be great for learning commands and tricks. She has a personality you can see in her facial expressions. She loves tug of War with her sister. I swear she understands every word I say. Foster mom is in love with her spotted paw pads.   

The whole group took to litter box training very easily. They are so smart and sweet. They love to play and cuddle but are fine being left alone. They have been great with our two kids and two cats and any visitors. They have been exposed to many loud noises and aren't nervous or scared. They wiggle a lot but cooperate the best a puppy can for nail trims!

A Note from the Foster: Candy Cane is a stunning little lady. Her ears flop over her forehead and she can give a great head tilt. 

She lives with her littermate sister, Carol, my resident dog, my resident cat, and one foster kitten. I also have chickens. She is scared of the chickens and gives them plenty of space. She has tried to gently play with my foster kitten but is respectful of her space. She’s still deciding if she wants to play chase with my resident dog. She prefers to wrestle and run around with her sister above all. 

She is working on potty training and crate training. She is VERY food motivated and has figured out sit and treat from just watching my resident dog. She likes to follow me around and offer free sits in hopes of more treats. She’s responded well to routine and cries for a bit when going into her crate but calms down after a few minutes.

She loves to crawl in my lap for scratches and pets. She also likes to corn cob my arms through a sweatshirt while I rub her belly. Her sassy little personality has been endless entertainment!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Cookie, the sweetest little bundle of joy! This 4-month-old black lab mix is a playful, energetic puppy with a heart as big as her paws. Cookie has adjusted wonderfully to her foster home—she’s already house-trained with no accidents! Her favorite activities include running around the yard, chewing on nylabones, and playing with our terrier mix. She's a natural at getting along with other dogs and would thrive with a furry sibling or as the center of attention.

We are still learning how to walk on a leash, but she is doing great! 

Cookie is as affectionate as they come, with endless tail wags and kisses for everyone she meets. She’s ready to bring love, fun, and puppy snuggles to her forever home. Could that be with you? 🐾

A Note from the Foster: This is our little lovebug of her crew. Cora is all black with a little white on her nose, belly and feet. She is petite compared to her siblings and has a much calmer, gentler personality. She has learned the pleasures of snuggling into the crook of a person's leg to nap, and tends to want to come snuggle on the couch to watch Netflix with her humans. She has a playful side too, and will engage with her brothers and her housemates in play bowing, chasing and good old' bitey face play. She sits on command and is learning to use the doggy door amazing well at the young age of 10 weeks. We do not know for sure what breed she is but her siblings have some Corgi  and Husky  features,  so it will be a fun surprise  to see what shape she ends up growing into!

One thing is for sure...she's a lover regardless of her size and shape!

This litter of puppies were found needing rescue in a ditch. It took two people who were brave enough to crawl into a tiny culvert and pulled them out one by one. One puppy had a metal can stuck on her face that luckily was taken off without permanent damage. These puppies are lucky to be alive!

She is smart and thoughtful and mild mannered.  Eleanor is an old soul who would get along with anyone!

A note from the foster: Seeing spots? I’ve got LOTS!  My name is Gabby and I’m a cuddle champion, stealer of hearts (and occasionally shoes), couch warmer extraordinaire, licker of ear lobes, and I’m looking for my fur-ever family. 

It doesn’t take much to make me happy and I’m a pretty easy addition. I will gladly accept cuddles from whoever has an open lap - it doesn’t matter if it is big or small, old or young, if I sits, I fit! I don’t have any accidents in the house, I do well on a leash, and I love everyone I meet.  Cats are not anyone I’ve met yet, but I sure love playing with other dogs. I’m still learning about what I can chew on, but will happily make a trade with you. Being content in my crate while my foster family is away is getting a little better each day. 

Overall, I just want to make my people happy! I’m only about 6 months old and with some more time and training, I will be the best girl. Do you have space in your heart and home for me?

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: Grizzly is the smallest of a litter of 8 puppies but she makes up for her size with a big personality! She’s got the softest fur and absolutely loves a good snuggle. She’s happy to fall asleep in your arms or on your lap. Grizzly has typical puppy energy, loves to wrestle with her siblings and chase leaves in the yard, and has recently learned how to pounce on her toys for a good time. She’s a joy and would light up any home!

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!

A Note from the Foster: Honey is one of a litter of 8 puppies. She’s a winter dog through and through with her thick golden coat- she loves to play outside and does not mind the cold! Honey is super smart and observant. She’s confident and tends to check out what’s going on before joining the action. She loves a human snuggle and a good romp with the other puppies but is also happy to find a toy and play by herself or chase leaves in the yard. Honey is a darling pup who would bring joy to any home!

A note from the foster: Hey there! I'm Iris, though my foster mom likes to call me Sissy sometimes—I'm a girl of many names!

I came all the way from Oklahoma to Minnesota with my siblings, and wow, am I loving the land of MinneSNOWta! It’s been such an adventure, and I’m ready to find my forever home!

I’m a sweet, affectionate, and patient 5-month-old black lab mix, and I can’t wait to meet my new family! My foster mom says I’ve been doing amazing with potty training—no accidents at all since I arrived. Go me!

I also love my kennel and actually prefer to sleep in it. I might whine a tiny bit, but it’s nothing too loud. My mornings are the best! I start my day with a quick potty break, then gobble down my yummy breakfast before heading back into my kennel for a little “me time” while my foster mom enjoys her coffee. Once she's done, it’s playtime, and I’m all about toys! I’m even learning to play fetch. After a fun play session, it’s snuggle time—and I’m totally here for the cuddles!

I get along with other dogs, too. There’s a 3-year-old male dog here, and while we mostly do our own thing, we’re getting more comfortable with each other every day.

I’m doing great with leash training, though I still need some practice. I’m also learning to not jump on people and furniture (it’s a work in progress, but I’m getting there!), and I’m picking up the “down” command too.

I’ll admit, I’m a little shy around my foster dad when he talks to me, but he’s super patient and has been earning my trust with lots of gentle petting.

I’m such a sweet girl, and I can’t wait to find my forever family who will give me all the love I deserve!

A note from the foster: Hi, I’m Ivy! At 12.5 pounds, I’m the biggest of the girls in my litter, but don’t let my size fool you—what really makes me stand out is my gentle and loving nature. My creamy yellow coat may catch your eye, but it’s my sweet, soft heart that will truly win you over. Oh, and my ears? Sometimes one flops down while the other sticks up—it’s my signature look!

I’m a big softie who loves everyone I meet. Whether it’s a belly rub, a scratch behind the ears, or simply a warm lap to rest on, I’ll take all the love you’re willing to give—and then some! I’m a champion cuddler and always on the lookout for pets and affection from my humans.

I’m not just about snuggles, though. I love quiet moments by your side, whether you’re reading, watching TV, or just enjoying a peaceful afternoon. My foster family says I’m calm, patient, and incredibly loyal—the perfect pup for someone who wants a loving companion who’s always there for them.

If you’re searching for a sweet and steady friend who will be by your side through it all, look no further. I’m Ivy, and I’d love to be a part of your family!

A Note from the Foster: Koala is one of a litter of 8 puppies and once we decided on a “bear” theme, she was the first to earn her name when she wrapped her little paws around our arms and held on like a koala bear! She still likes to be carried that way. Koala is a super sweet, funny girl who always manages to sneak one of our resident dogs toys back into the puppy pen with her. She’s got a stubby little tail that she wags with her entire body when she’s excited, and she loves everyone and everything so she’s excited a lot! If you’re looking for a pup who will make you laugh every day, Koala’s your girl!

A Note from the Foster: Luna is such a sweet girl. Ever since the first night bringing her home, she has been a lover and loves being right where you are. She gets along amazingly with my kids and loves playing with the other foster pup in the house. She is very curious about my resident cats, but generally leaves them alone. She has gotten used to her kennel and has no accidents in the kennel or in the house and she makes sure to whine to let me know she has to go out, I've even been woken up by her letting me know! She loves being outside and is a pro on the long walks that she loves, still afraid of leaves though! Luna is definitely a beautiful, well behaved girl who will make anyone lucky to have her :)

A note from the foster: Dear Santa-

Whew... I made it to rescue just in time for the holidays, and I hear you will be in town!

I REALLY want to make your "NICE" list, so I am working extra hard at being the best girl.  No coal for this pup - just bones, stuffie toys, and a FOREVER HOME please!

A little about why I should make the list:

🎁 Best Friend: If a sweet and affectionate personality is what you are after, then I am a shoe-in.  I don't think there is a mean bone in my body.  I am a bit shy meeting new people, but I really want love and affection.  I do my best to be brave, and because belly rubs are my favorite, I will roll over on my back every chance I get, and hold up a paw as a sign of my friendship.

🎁 Eager Student: My desire to please + being a good listener = the perfect combination for learning new things.  I know that my business is done outside, so I sit by the door when it is time.  Bonus points may be in order here as I have been 100% accident free (except for an accidental piddle when I get a bit nervous).  I sleep soundly in my kennel all night, and am becoming much more confident spending time in a crate on/off throughout the day.  Commands are next-up; easy-peasy.

🎁 Easy Roommate: While I like my humans near, and regularly check that they are around, I am also a good self-entertainer.  My foster home has a big bin of toys and bones that I just love!  It is so much fun pulling each one out, playing with it for a minute, and then moving on to the next.  In the backyard, you will find me with my nose to the ground, searching for a scent from last nights' visitors or locating the perfect stick.  And my favorite spot to catch a nap is the couch (if you will let me).

🎁 Snuggle Bug: I am still a bit nervous to seek out snuggles, but with an invite, I will quickly settle in for a nap or to watch a movie.  I like to touch, but don't need to be in your lap.  I get hot with my long, soft, fluffy coat.  I will gently rest my head in your lap and use my big brown eyes to ask politely for pets - my belly please!

Beyond this, I am a typical playful and energetic puppy with lots of love and companionship to give.

My paws are crossed to find a gift under the tree! 

❤️ Good Girl, Minnie ❤️

A Note from the Foster: Hi, my name is Minny. My foster parents tell me I’m a sweetheart with a lot of spunk. I love playing with my foster siblings and am really fearless, so I’m told. Apparently, I can get a little too into play time.

So far, I’ve done really well in my crate.  No accidents here! However, I’ve had some accidents in the house and still learning I have to go outside. I’m really good at “sit” and picked that up right away.

I probably get told I’m the cutest thing about fifty times a day, and I know, I mean look at me.

I’d love to find my forever home, so if you think we’d be a great match I’d love to meet you!

A Note from the Foster: Hi everyone my name is Nala and I am settling in with my foster momma along with my brothers Simba and Timon. I am the only girl but don’t worry I can keep up with my brothers just fine and mom even says I am the one that does the most wrestling. My other favorite thing is finding a cozy corner of the room to cuddle up in or relaxing on foster moms lap. I also love to chew but am frequently getting reminders on what I can chew on versus what I can’t. I am working on all the puppy stuff like learning to go to the bathroom outside and walking on a leash but boy would I love to find my forever family to help me work on those things.

A note from the foster: Niobe continues become such a good girl. She loves her chewy toys. She loves it outside even though it is cold. She loves the recent snow and just zoomies around the yard. 

She continues to do well in her kennel during the day while we are at work and not a peep out of her at night. 

She is such a sweet dog.  She loves attention and will let you pet her sweet belly and those sweet soft ears. Anyone who adopts her will be so very lucky.

A Note from the Foster: Hi there! I'm Nylah, and I’m a playful, spunky little pup looking for my furever home!

I’m a bundle of joy with a heart full of love, the cutest ears, a wagging tail & a pup who LOVES to chase after my favorite crinkly toys (they’re my absolute obsession, just so you know).  When I’m not zooming around with my tail wagging at full speed, I’m all about snuggles—there’s nothing better than curling up with my humans for some cozy cuddle time after all my adventures.

I’m already showing off my smarts too! I’ve been learning some great new tricks, like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “leave it,” and I’m excited to keep learning and impressing you. (I’m a quick study, so I’m sure you’ll be super proud of me!)

I’m looking for a family who will give me lots of love, attention, and fun adventures. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood or snuggling on the couch, I’ll be right by your side, tail wagging, ready for anything.

So, if you’re ready for a lifetime of puppy kisses, tail wags, endless love & tons of joy, I’d love to meet you! Let’s make some memories together—one paw-sitive moment at a time. 🐾💕

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!

A note from the foster: S-t-e-l-l-a! (tailwag) yes, yes I know my posting says my name is Patches but when my foster momma took me in she found that I just happened to ignore my name and didn’t find it very fitting for me. She proceeded to call me Miss Lady for a while until she figured out my personality…which in complete puppy fashion, I can be a tiny bit stubborn. The second day she had me we continued to try out new names and when she tried out “Stella” I paused, chewing my bones and perked my ears to look at her. When she asked if she should call me that I went over for some pets; so that’s that, we are calling me Stella for now! Please use the name “Patches” when applying to adopt me however.

Let's start with a little about my background, this will help you have a better understanding of where I am at in my young life. I am approximately 13 weeks old and a pitbull/german shepherd mix best guess. I recently came up to Coco’s rescue from a partner rescue in Oklahoma. That rescue took me off the streets so that nothing bad would happen to me. Things are SO different here compared to Oklahoma! Like this weather for one, BRRRR, this will take my little body some getting used to (I’ve only been here 6 days). I am working really hard on potty training but it is so cold outside and I do not like it. My foster mom is patient with me to go out in short bursts multiple times, this helps and I have been doing really well. She just wants to make sure I am emptying my bladder completely since I go so quick and want to go back in.  I’m trying really hard not to have accidents in the house, I have figured out using potty pads, I am trying really hard to adapt to all the changes. 

My foster momma says I am just a little fur ball of energy and love! I really enjoy playing, chewing and running around; but most of all I aim to please. I will stop what I am doing to follow everyone around and see what they are doing because everything is so new to me. I enjoy playing with the resident pup and other foster puppies here. There are these things they are calling “cats” here too, still trying to figure those things out. They make weird noises, sometimes they look like they might want to play with me, but none of them ever will, and they definitely do not like it when I chase them. I’m catching on really quick to that, we will be friends in no time. 

What I am working on the most and currently need the most patience with is my crate training. These things that they put me in are just SO new to me. I see the other dogs being so calm and I don’t completely understand. It’s definitely a necessary thing to keep me safe during stages of my life, something I will encounter throughout stages of my life, and something that my foster momma tells my all the puppies my learn to do. Currently I am practicing positive reinforcement in my crate and learning it IS a safe space. I have my meals in my crate, eat chews in my crate, and spend short periods of time in my crate just trying to relax, I don’t always get there but I sure do try. 

I hope that you will be interested in learning more about me and have the patience to help me adapt to the giant new world! I am so excited to meet you!

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: Hi, I’m Pepper! I may be small, but my heart is huge—and I’ve got plenty of personality to share. I’m an eager learner and a pro at getting treats for all the good stuff I do (and I love treats!). I already know how to sit, come when called, and leave it, and I’m working on mastering even more tricks. I’m also potty pad trained, and I’m super eager to keep learning!

I’m a bit of a chatterbox too! If I need a little water, I’m ready to let you know. Same goes for when it’s time for my meal or if I’m ready to go sniff around outside. Don’t worry—I’m not too talkative, but I do have one big pet peeve... dirty pens! If there’s a little mess in my space, I make sure to tell my foster family right away. Gotta keep things tidy!

I’m a bit of a FOMO (fear of missing out) pup, so I always keep one eye open, just in case something exciting is happening. But honestly, my favorite thing in the world is snuggling with my human foster sisters. I love curling up in the warm spot around their necks, especially when I’m feeling a little nervous. It’s the best!

Life here has been great, but I can’t wait to find my forever family. I’m ready to bring all my love, fun, and cuddles to a home that’s just for me. I’d love for you to be the one to give me my happily ever after. Could we be the perfect match?  Let's meet soon!

She is doing well with house training on a schedule and is a quiet girl. She is learning basis commands and does best with routine like any puppy learning the ropes.

Poppy would love a family of her own and will bring you so much joy.

A Note from the Foster: Rhoda is an energetic, playful pup who loves everyone!  She is always excited to meet new people and try new things.  Her favorite toys are stuffed plushies, and puppy safe toys that she can chew on.  Her two favorite things are playtime and meal time! She loves to chase our resident dogs around the yard, and to explore new areas.  Rhoda also loves to curl up in your lap after a good play session to recharge her batteries.  

Rhoda is very food motivated and has already learned to come when called and sit nicely for treats! We are working on potty training; she is starting to learn that outside is where to do her business, and has been doing well with a regular schedule. Rhoda’s kennel is in the bedroom, and she sleeps quietly through the night if she knows you are there.  

Rhoda wants to be friends with everyone she meets- she adores our resident dogs and will follow them wherever they go. We have not let her get too close to our cats yet- but she really wants to be friends with them too!  Rhoda is an adventurous, loving puppy who can’t wait to find her new forever  family!

A note from the foster: Hi there, I’m River! At about 14 pounds, I may be on the smaller side of my litter, but my heart is as big as they come. My silky-soft coat makes me extra cuddly, and I absolutely love curling up in the lap of any human who comes to visit. If I could, I’d happily stay there all day, soaking up your love and attention. My foster family says I have a magical way of making people feel warm and happy with my sweet, snuggly personality.

I’m not all about cuddles, though—I’ve got a playful side, too! I enjoy romping around with my siblings and making new friends, whether they’re human or canine. I’m naturally gentle and show a lot of positive, submissive tendencies, which helps me get along with everyone I meet. When meeting new dogs, I’m patient and respectful, taking my time to read the situation and adjust my energy to make everyone feel comfortable. My foster family says I’m a social butterfly with a knack for creating harmony.

Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, playing with a furry friend, or simply being by your side, I bring joy and love wherever I go. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, and sociable pup to be your new best friend, I’d love to be part of your family. Let’s meet soon—I’ll be waiting with tail wags and cuddles!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Rosie, a beautiful golden-haired pup with a heart full of love to give! Rosie is incredibly sweet but she can be a bit nervous and needs some time to adjust to new environments and people. Once she has had some one-on-one bonding time with you, she will show you her true spunky personality and will be happy to curl up in your lap to snuggle. 

Rosie doesn’t currently love the cold snow on her little paws, so trips outside are very short and she usually goes potty within 1 or 2 minutes. When inside, she uses her puppy pads like a champ. Rosie is smart and I believe she will catch on to housetraining quickly with consistency and routine. 

Due to her shy nature, she would thrive in a home with another dog who can help her build confidence. Currently, Rosie loves to follow around the resident 10-yr old Boxer mix and copy her behaviors. She adores other dogs and will respect their boundaries when they let her know “that’s enough”. 

Rosie showed me her playful side on day 3 of fostering her. Her favorite toys are ropes and a rubber soccer ball. She loves carrying toys around and stashing them in her kennel. She hasn’t chewed on anything she isn’t supposed to yet and is not bitey during playtime. She’s a fun pup to play with! 

I have cleaned Rosie’s ears and trimmed her nails with a dremel. She was very cooperative during both instances and I think she will turn out to be very patient with grooming as she gets older. 

Rosie is catching on to “sit” quickly and does very well in her crate at night. She is not very food motivated, but does enjoy praise.

If you're looking for a gentle and loving companion, Rosie might be the perfect addition to your family!

A Note from the Foster: Sugar is the lover; calm but playful. She enjoys snuggles and playing tug of war with her sister. My favorite thing is when she is determined to get into my lap and she takes a running start to bound onto my legs with her short little Legs. Foster mom is in love with her spotted paw pads. 

The whole group took to litter box training very easily. They are so smart and sweet. They love to play and cuddle but are fine being left alone. They have been great with our two kids and two cats and any visitors. They have been exposed to many loud noises and aren't nervous or scared. They wiggle a lot but cooperate the best a puppy can for nail trims!

A Note from the Foster: Hi, I'm Zara! I’m a little more relaxed and laid-back than my energetic sisters, but don’t let that fool you—I’m full of love and ready for adventure! I’m the kind of pup who loves to curl up in your lap for a good snuggle (I’ll take all the pets, please!) and I definitely have a bit of a regal side—just call me “Princess Zara.”

I’m an excellent observer of the world around me and I’m a patient girl who enjoys taking my time. I prefer having my very own food bowl (I’m a lady with standards, after all), and while I love to play, I’m also content to just hang out and watch the action. Outside time is my favorite, and I’m always up for a fun game or exploring new things.

I’m also learning lots of new skills—like sit, stay, come, kennel up, and leave it—and I’m always ready to impress with my smarts!

Now, I just need to find my perfect furever home where I can share all my cuddles and good vibes. Could that be with you? I can’t wait to meet my forever family and bring a little Zara magic into their lives.

Will you be the one to make me yours? 💖

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!
