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: Wanda, the one eyed wonder! Wanda is a happy girl who loves to go for walks around the neighborhood. She is good on a leash and understands that when you give a little pull she should go a different way. She is potty trained and will sit by the door or whine if she needs to go out. She sleeps in her crate at night. She’s a little reluctant to get in, but a treat makes her happy.
Wanda loves her doggy bed and will curl up there when her foster parents are watching TV. She does like sitting and sleeping on the sofa and doesn’t always want to get down, but having her own dog bed gives her a place to relax. She sometimes thinks that she is really a lap dog (even though she is 45 lbs!)
Wanda eats her food very quickly and likes to sit by you in the kitchen when you are cooking. Feeding her 3 meals a day instead of 2 helps, along with her KONG treat in the evening!
Wanda reads people very well and understands what everyone in her foster family expects of her. Big brother #1 will stand by her doggy bed and waits for her to lay down. Then she gets lots of belly rubs! Big brother #2 is not so fond of dogs, so Wanda waits for a little head scratch and is on her way. She loves it when foster Mom brushes her coat and likes taking walks with foster Dad.
Wanda may be best in a house where she is the only dog, as she did not get along with the resident dog at her first foster. Outside, the neighbor dogs bark at her, but Wanda doesn’t pay them any attention. As for cats, Wanda doesn’t pay much attention to them (the current cat at her foster home doesn’t want anything to do with dogs).
Adoption Fee: $550 + 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!
