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 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!
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!
