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: Introducing Zero or as we call him, Waffles. He is such a joyful dog who is learning what the good life is all about. He gets along with every person he meets and is great with kids. It took him a few days to warm up to our resident dog but now they’re best friends and are always doing everything together. We have a cat that doesn’t come out much so I’m not sure how he really is with cats.
He is a quick learner! He has had a few accidents in the house when he first arrived but now is starting to go to the door to let us know when he has to go outside. He’s learning the basic commands and learning them quickly. He’s great on the leash but walks are short right now as we’re trying to get him to gain weight. If he gets something that he’s not supposed to have he will drop it or let me take it.
If you have a tennis ball or toy then he’ll love you forever. He has learned how fun toys are. Fetch is his favorite game to play and will gladly let you take the ball to throw it again.
He sleeps in a kennel at night and when we’re not home. He will whine at first but will calm down after a few minutes.
Zero is such a great dog and is loving his second chance at life. He is going to bring his new family a lot of happiness.
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!
