Abu is a sweet little princess looking for her perfect castle   Foster Home Feedback  Foster Feedback 4/11/24: Abu is the sweetest, nicest, little girl. She is housebroken. While she will go in a kennel, she would rather sleep in a dog bed or in an open spot on your bed. Abu likes most other dogs but enjoys slow intros. With people it is the same, but she warms up very quickly. She would love someone to play with, but she also entertains herself. Abu can be a silly monkey and thus the name. She loves treats! Abu knows her general commands. If you have a forever home for this amazing little girl, she will become your best friend. Her eyes have also been fixed.To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org April 26, 2024, 3:57 pm

Story
This is Cooper! He was found at a local campground in our area and brought to Sheyenne Valley Friends of Animals. He is a Beagle/Pug mix who is approximately 6 years old. Cooper loves to "zoom zoom" around the yard at his foster home. He’s very fun to watch and you are guaranteed to smile and laugh when you watch him! He is very easy to take for walks as he will stay right by your side. Cooper is pretty laid back and likes to watch the things going on around him. He is smart and comes when you call his name. He even knows “sit”! Sometimes he’ll get out of his kennel and sleep under his foster mom’s side of the bed. He loves it there, so his foster mom made him a bed underneath her nightstand. Cooper is very good about going to the bathroom outside. He has not had one accident since arriving at his foster home. He is great with children! He is OK with them giving him big hugs and lots of love and he is really good at giving the love right back! He lives in a home with other dogs and gets along really well with them, too! The Beagle in Cooper comes out when he hears the fire sirens go off. He starts howling! Cooper is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and recently had two teeth removed that were rotten. If you are interested in Cooper, please call SVFA at 701-840-5047 or email jenni.svfa@gmail.com. For all animal adoptions, you must complete a Pre-Adoption application found on our website at svfanimals.org under the “Forms” tab. Submit PDF/Word document to jenni.svfa@gmail.com.
