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 Zara! I’m a little more relaxed and laid-back than my energetic sisters, but don’t let that fool you—I’m full of love and ready for adventure! I’m the kind of pup who loves to curl up in your lap for a good snuggle (I’ll take all the pets, please!) and I definitely have a bit of a regal side—just call me “Princess Zara.”
I’m an excellent observer of the world around me and I’m a patient girl who enjoys taking my time. I prefer having my very own food bowl (I’m a lady with standards, after all), and while I love to play, I’m also content to just hang out and watch the action. Outside time is my favorite, and I’m always up for a fun game or exploring new things.
I’m also learning lots of new skills—like sit, stay, come, kennel up, and leave it—and I’m always ready to impress with my smarts!
Now, I just need to find my perfect furever home where I can share all my cuddles and good vibes. Could that be with you? I can’t wait to meet my forever family and bring a little Zara magic into their lives.
Will you be the one to make me yours? 💖
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!
