My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey! I'm Fresca!

I’m a young husky mix with energy to spare and a heart full of joy. If you're looking for a dog who’s always down to play, chase, and squeak all the toys—you just found her!

I love other dogs and make fast friends, but fair warning: I play loud and I play hard. I can be vocal when I get excited, and I need a doggy playmate who can keep up with my zoomies and wild rope toy battles. My high energy and vocalness can easily spook cats, so I would thrive best in a feline-free home.

I’m all about the fun—chasing, tugging, wrestling, and squeaking toys until they give up (or I do). But once I’ve burned off some steam, I’m also a great snuggle buddy. I just need someone who understands that a busy brain and active body make me the happiest girl in the world.

So if your dog’s looking for a playmate and you’ve got a toy basket waiting to be destroyed (in a good way), let’s meet!

Can’t wait to wiggle into your life,
Fresca

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

If you'd like to meet the pet before submitting an application, please stop by during our open house hours.

2.

Meet the Pet

Pets in foster care can only be met after submitting an approved application; pets at the shelter can be met during open house hours.

3.

Approve Application

We will have a discussion with you, and after ensuring the pet is a good fit for your home, you will be approved.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

Once you've met the pet and have decided you want to adopt, you will sign an adoption contract.

5.

Pay Fee

You will pay the adoption fee at the time you sign the adoption contract; we do not have application fees when applying.

6.

Take the Pet Home

Yay! It's done and you are able to take your new pet home!

Additional adoption info

Adopters are required to fill out an application before adoption, and we process the application within 72 hours. All adopters must be 18 years of age or older. Once approved the fees for adoption are $120 for adult cats, $150 for kittens (includes a $40 refundable spay/neuter deposit), $225 for dogs, and $325 for puppies (includes a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit). Adopters will complete an adoption contract at the time of adoption.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our shelter is in north Fargo, near the old Yunker's Children's Museum, located just off of University Dr. on 28th Ave. N. We have open house hours from 4-7pm Tuesday-Friday, and 2-6pm on Saturdays. We have adoption events throughout the year, and you can find more information about those on our website at www.homewardonline.org or our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/HomewardAnimalShelter.

More about this shelter

We are a small shelter that rescues pets from local impounds whose time is up, and would otherwise be euthanized. We only have 9 dog kennels and 26 cat kennels; as many of 80% of the animals in our care are located in foster homes throughout the community at any time. We are very limited on space within our shelter and often, we can't take in owner surrenders, but will do our best to help give guidance about rehoming pets.

We offer several services besides adoption, including microchip clinics and pet-friendly rental housing listings.

We are the only shelter in the FM area that rescues both cats and dogs, so without our help, hundreds of dogs and cats would be euthanized each year in local pounds.
