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: Hello Future Forever Family!
My name is Scout but I am also referred to as Scooter, Good Boy, Puppers and Italian Loaf (this one might be from this weekend when I stole an entire new loaf of Italian Bread from the counter and helped myself to a little afternoon snack)! I have been in rescue for a just a few days so far but I am loving every minute this good life. I am about 10 months old and full of energy but also love to snuggle and give kisses. I am a dark chocolate color, often my coloring looks black but in the sunlight you can really see the brown shimmer in my coat. I am fully potty trained, have only had one accident in my foster family's home but since then I go to the door and request to go outside to do my business. I love to go for walks, wrestle with my 4 legged foster brother, snuggle with my human foster brother and sit right next to my foster parents and stare at them until they give in and pet me! I have so much love to give, I really just want to be near you and lick and kiss you as much as possible.
I wasn't a big fan of my crate at first but now I go in there easily as long as I am promised a treat once the door is closed and I sleep quietly in my crate until someone comes to let me out in the morning. I am very food motivated. My mom says I eat way too fast and I should really try to slow down and taste my food/treats but I don't think that is necessary. She decided to get this crazy bowl that looks like a maze and it does take me longer to eat my meals now but I still think I am the fastest eater around. That is one of my coolest tricks, I make food disappear in record time. I also know the sit command but sometimes just choose to ignore the request. Again, I just have energy and don't like to just sit and relax all of the time.
I do like to check out what is on the counter in the kitchen, my foster parents tell me that counter surfing is not acceptable but with a fun name like surfing I do keep giving it a try. They are working with me and I supposed eventually I will give up this bad habit but remember I am only 10 months old so I like to push the boundaries a bit. I am not a big chewer so that is a plus and as long as you give me enough treats and chew toys I will do my best to not eat any of your belongings!
If you are looking a young dog who is full of spunk, energy and love then look no further cause I am your guy. If you would like to meet me and see my awesome personality and beautiful unique dark chocolate coat in person just submit an application and my foster mom will be in touch to set up a meet and greet for us! I look forward to finding my forever family.
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!
