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 Vera! I'm a gentle soul looking for my forever home! Let me tell you more about me.
My green flags:
- Mellow & relaxed: I'm calm and easy-going.
- Sweet & loving: I love cuddles and belly rubs.
- House-trained & kennel-trained: I haven't had any accidents inside and I go right in my kennel with the promise of a treat.
My beige flags:
- Indifferent with dogs: I don't interact much with my doggy foster sister, even when she tries to play with me.
- Unsure of toys: I'm still learning what toys are and how they work, but mostly I just like to chill.
My red flags:
- High prey drive: I'm obsessed with squirrels and will bark at them, chase them, and even try to jump up the tree or fence to try to get them.
- Leash training: l'm working on leash training, and while I do fairly well, I still try to slip out of it and pull on it (especially if there's a squirrel).
- Basic commands: I've learned how to sit, but I need work with other commands.
Are you looking for a laid-back and low maintenance girl? If so, I'm the dog for you and can't wait to meet you!
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!
