Story

Jack is a five year old Golden Doodle who is an amazing companion. He loves to be active on walks, runs, and anything outdoors. He was adopted in Frostproof, Florida and has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. He has been around a lot of kids throughout his life (my nieces and nephews) and is always making new puppy friends at the dog parks. Jack is eager to please, very smart and well behaved once he knows you. Jack does not usually bark throughout the day, and his temperament although he gets really excited when meeting new people and still jumps sometimes is pretty easy going when it's just you and him at home. He does have bounds of energy and for the first ten minutes of meeting a new person will jump and be all over the place . He then settles down and lies down within 10 minutes.

Story

Hi, this is Bear. He is a 5 year old pittie that my husband brought home from a coworker on a work trip. We need to rehome Bear due to his anxiety, health upkeep, and jealousy of our new baby. He’s not aggressive just feels left out so constantly putting himself in the way. We have had him for about 2 years. He is good with almost everything other than being alone. Good with older kids, dogs, and cats, although the cats do take a bit to warm up to. He does have a tad bit of separation anxiety so we kennel him while out. He listens well while off leash and thinks he’s a lap dog! It was recommended by our vet that he have TPLO surgery on both back legs due to stability issues with his knees. Unfortunately we cannot afford that so he has been on Rimadyl and Gabapentin for about the last year. For that I think Bear would be best suited with a chill, laid back family that will take him on short walks and have lots of cuddles on the couch.

Heidi

Chihuahua

Female, Adult

Fargo, ND

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Heidi is a 4lb chihuahua mix with a wiry coat. I rescued her from a hoarding situation in Texas in 2020 when she was estimated to be 2–4 years old. She has been an EXCELLENT dog. I am reluctantly rehoming her only because she isn’t compatible with my one-year-old. Heidi is extraordinarily sweet, quiet, and loyal, she stays out of trouble. Once she feels safe she loves to play and will do the best zooms! She has lived with other playful dogs and does great, though she can be protective of her food. She is a pro on leash, staying right by my side with her happy-go-lucky trot. After settling into a routine she is reliably house trained. All she wants is warmth—fireplaces, sunshine, soft blankets. She likes being held and will offer her belly for rubs. She is more of a hiking buddy than a handbag dog, yet she is extremely portable and travels PERFECTLY. Heidi is a truly charming girl who will thrive in a calm home where she can feel safe, adored, and understood. She is easy and lovable.

Story

WOOF! I'M CARTER, a sweet, loving and happy 4-year-old Doberman/Shepherd mix who needs a foster or forever home. I love humans and being around my person or people. I was originally rescued from a California shelter and am now am in Washington! I am house-trained and crate trained (I love my crate) I love running, playing with my squeaky toys, going for walks and snuggling with humans. If you let me, I'll share your bed! I have an easygoing and funny personality, and am looking for someone to offer me a safe and comfortable home. I would do well with a fenced yard as I love to do the zoomies! I'm super smart and I learn quickly: I know the commands of "easy" (when I'm getting a treat), "stay" and I am learning to sit on command. I'm very receptive to training and am food motivated and super smart! I'm good with other dogs and love to wrestle, and I learned quickly to be with horses in a respective way. Still, I would thrive as an only pet, only because I love attention from humans so much! I would do well in an active, calm, family-oriented environment, with a single person, a couple or a family. I love kids, and would love to wrestle with teenagers! I can also be low energy as I love to lay around and relax, too. I can pull on a leash during walks, and be protective of the home and my people, but those are my only traits that could use a little work. :) Overall, I'm a wonderful dog who deserves a great home. I am a gentle giant who will thrive in a home where he’s given structure and consistent training. With love and some minor training, I will be an amazing companion. I weigh 68 lbs.Please email for an application! I'm currently in Washington, but can be transported to North Dakota soon.

Foster Home Feedback 9/30/25 Volunteer Feedback: I took Shrimp for a few hours on Saturday to help out his foster. He is AMAZING. Shrimp is a perfectly mannered gentleman. He walked loose leash the entire time, gently took treats offered (you couldn't even tell he was grabbing it unless his floppy lips touched your hand!), and let everyone that wanted to pet him. He sits or lays so nicely in the car, he will sit up front if you will let him, but if you stop petting him he will paw at your arm until you start again. We went to the botanical gardens, First Avenue Market, Scheels, and the mall and no matter what he was perfect. It didn't matter if it was a man, woman, child, or senior that came up, he let everyone pet him and interact with him. Shrimp saw a couple of other dogs when out walking and he perked up at them but never reacted or tried to go towards them. He also listens super well to "Leave it" when he's sniffing something super intently. 9/10/25 Volunteer Feedback: What a gentle giant Shrimp is! He was absolutely perfect—no issues at all. He let me put on his harness without any fuss, walked beautifully on a loose leash the entire time, and didn’t react to anything around him. Shrimp takes treats so gently, it’s heartwarming. Even when he got a little burst of zoomies (which was adorable!), he remained aware of me and was careful not to bump into me. Shrimp truly is the sweetest big boy! 9/2/25 Volunteer Feedback: Shrimp is truly a gem. This big, lovable boy has a gentle soul and a calm demeanor that makes him a joy to be around. Whether he’s lounging around or soaking in human attention, Shrimp radiates warmth and kindness. He’s incredibly well-behaved and walks like a dream. Shrimp’s affectionate nature and easygoing personality make him a wonderful fit for any home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings peace, love, and a whole lot of heart, Shrimp would love to meet you! ** Shrimp is Lyme positive. This is a tick-borne illness, and he is currently being treated with Doxycycline.
