Foster Home Feedback 

** Older, considerate children only

10/21/25 Foster Feedback: Madame Leotta (Lettie) attended the Unglued Fall festival and was such a brave girl at the adoption event! While she was a little cautious at first, she warmed up quickly and was happy to meet new people and soak up gentle pets. Every day she continues to come out of her shell a little more and show her sweet, goofy personality.
She’s growing in confidence, especially when she has a friendly dog buddy to follow. Lettie is still a bit skittish at times, but she’s making steady progress and clearly wants to connect. She’s a smart cookie who has learned lots of tricks already and is very treat-motivated—she loves to learn!
At home, Lettie is respectful of the resident cats and wonderful with our older kids. She’s the perfect mix of gentle, curious, and eager to please. Watching her blossom has been such a joy!  

10/10/25 Foster Feedback: Madame Leota (aka Lettie) is a brindle beauty with a heart of gold and a gentle soul. She’s learning that the world isn’t so scary, and every day she grows more confident and curious. Once she feels safe, her affectionate, goofy side shines through — and she’ll melt right into you on the couch.
Madame Leota does fantastic on walks, staying calm and curious about the world around her. She’s getting along great with the other dogs, respects the cats, and has done beautifully with older kids in the home. She is smart, eager to please, and very treat motivated — training with her is a joy. She gets especially excited at mealtime, so we’re working on slowing down and minding manners around food.
She’s been picking up routines quickly, doing well with crate time and house training, and is showing that she’s happiest when she can be near her people. Madame Leota thrives with gentle guidance and a calm environment — once she trusts you, she’s the kind of dog who will quietly follow you everywhere, offering soft eyes and an even softer heart.
Best fit: A home that gives her time to settle, a consistent routine, and plenty of love. In return, you’ll have a loyal, soulful companion who just needed someone to see the magic in her brindle stripes.

9/18/25 Volunteer Feedback: Madame Leota is a darling! Her quirky personality is only enhanced by her beautiful brindle coat. She is quiet and reserved at first, but she quickly warms up with some treats and scratches. Although she is very inquisitive about all the sights and smells, she is an absolute pleasure to walk with. Leota hardly pulls, has no reaction to people/bikers/kids/other dogs, frequently checks in, and can easily be prompted into a heel position with a treat. This gorgeous lady is very treat-motivated and would quickly learn any kind of trick! In the car, she would benefit from being kenneled, since she tends to move around to every possible seat. Otherwise, she quietly appreciates the great view! Madame Leota is a relatively quiet dog and did not bark until she was returned to her kennel. Overall, she is a well-behaved, eager-to-please sweetheart. She would be a wonderful fit for a home that would fill her life with cuddles, long walks, and plenty of pup cups!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

There is a pre-adoption application, reference check, and home visit required prior to adopting an animal. There is an adoption donation/fee applied to all dogs. This fee ranges from $100-150. These fees help cover the veterinary care we have provided for the animals while they wait for homes. The fee also helps pay for the food and other general care we provide for the dogs. You must be 21 yrs or older to adopt a dog and can not live in a an area where there are dog breed bans. We do adopt to homes outside on the area, but there are special requirements for out of state adopters.

Go meet their pets

We regularly have "Meet the Dogs!" events at the West Fargo PetSmart store. These events will give you the opportunity to meet some of the dogs we have available for adoption and to visit with our volunteers. See our website for schedule dates/times.
