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 ❤️
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 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! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
