History: We recently partnered with an organization in Oklahoma and helped welcome overlooked dogs from their area as well as those on euthanasia lists. They are full of life and love and are all excited to find forever homes of their own soon!
A note from the foster: He is very, very sweet and gentle. Loves to cuddle. You can put your hand out and he will just rest his chin in your hand. He loves his people and wants to please. He’s a fast learner. We were working on leash manners. He was initially a terrible puller but with training and a prong collar, he’s made tons of progress. He loves to play especially tug of war. When he gets really excited and play gets rougher he starts jumping. When he got that way, we took a break. No resource guarding. Fully house broken. Kennels well, keeps it clean, and doesn’t bark when he’s in there. He was amazing with my 4 year old son.
He was returned because he got a little mouthy playing with the adopters son. It wasn’t aggressive but the son is now afraid of him so they returned him.
With all of the recent changes, Rambo is pretty quiet and reserved now but once he settles in and starts to open up we will work on playing appropriately and continue leash work and other commands. He already has sit and lay mastered. 😁
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 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!
