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.
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!
A Note from the Foster: Gus (aka Gustopher) is an absolute hunk! This solid little man is a total heartbreaker....smart as can be and a complete sweetheart. Gus is a man of few words and a thinker...he will sit quietly and watch everything going on in the room to figure it all out. Gus loves all the puppy things....toys and chewies and wrestling with his siblings but he also is the first to find a quiet spot to take his nappy-nappy. Gus is a yummy boy that loves his snuggles!
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!
