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: Gertie is a sweet, young and playful girl!
She is enjoying life to the fullest and exploring her surroundings. She loves treats and toys! Car rides are okay but she may get a little car sick. Unsure if it’s that or just a bit of stress at this time. She loves people, she’s so happy to have all the pets and attention. She has been good around my 4 year old but we make sure to keep her leashed, just in case his energy startles her by accident.
She doesn’t seem to have any training with “sit” or on a leash. She is potty trained. One cue of hers is to whine, we missed it once and had just one little accident. She is good in her kennel but will vocalize with some sad howls at times.
This young lady is so sweet and loves to be by or on you. Kisses are her love language :)
She was okay with the resident female dog but then had other thoughts. I believe with training and real slow introductions she would be okay with other dogs.
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!
