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: Cuddle bug, sweet, adorable and the best couch buddy are all words Snorty’s foster family would use to describe him. His favorite spots are curled up with you on the couch, cuddling up to you when you're sitting on the floor or any dog pillow he can find. Living up to his name, Snorty has the most adorable little snorts and snores while sleeping.
He loves being with his people and has yet to meet a person that he does not want to cuddle or give kisses to. He is friendly with the kids in his foster home (ages 8 and 11). And after a walk in the morning, this guy is ready to take it easy and chill by your side. Snorty is a total lover!
Snorty has consistently been doing his business outside and goes out quickly to get the job done. In colder weather, he does request the presence of his foster partners for reassurance that he will not freeze. He keeps his kennel clean through the night, and during the work day while his foster family is away. Snorty will sleep quietly through the night, but will let you know when he needs a potty break in the morning.
Snorty continues to show what a smart boy he is, as his foster family continue to work on basic training with him. Snorty knows his name, come, sit and kennel. He is working on his leash manners, down, shake and fetch. He thinks those treats are pretty great and will work hard to earn some extra yummy kibble. Snorty allows his foster Mom to trim his nails and brush him. He is very appreciative of the treat rewards for a job well done.
His foster family describes him as the total package and loves having him around, but knows this boy deserves to find his people to give him all the love he deserves. If you are looking for a medium energy cuddlebug to snuggle, and can provide him with a comfy dog bed, then Snorty is the guy for you!
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!
