Story
History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own! A Note from the Foster: Arlo is 10 weeks old and about 10 pounds. He is doing amazing with potty training and has been very successful being introduced to both my resident 65 pound pitbull as well as my other two fosters who are small breed, senior ladies. The resident cat gave him a little swat so he’s not so sure about her yet. So far, Arlo has been a pretty chill puppy. He likes to chew on bones and play with toys, but mostly follows me around the house. He’s very affectionate and loves being held. He protests a little when going in the crate but settles in nicely after a few minutes. As stated before, he’s doing amazing with potty training. He hasn’t had a single accident in the house and seems to already know to hold it until we go out. We always go outside as soon as he wakes up from a nap or about every two hours. Arlo is very treat motivated and has already picked up a lot from the other dogs. We’ve absolutely loved having him and his puppy antics. If you’re looking for a puppy… It doesn’t get much better than him!

Story
History: Bear FKA Blitz was recently returned to rescue when he was no longer a match for his adopter. He has settled back into rescue and is doing well! He hopes to find his forever home soon! A Note from the Foster: I am proud to introduce Bear. He is a beautiful, fun-loving Akita/shepherd mix blend, and I believe there is some pittie in there as well. He loves his walks and car rides. He loves to meet new people but will pull back and bark if the meeting is a surprise for him. He loves to meet other dogs but gets very excited if he sees those other dogs and other critters at a distance, so he will need a firm hand on his leash. I have been around him almost full time right from the beginning so there is no formal crate training and I'm unsure how well he does with extended separation.

History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own! A Note from the Foster: Sweetie lives up to her name. She is full of love and ready to find her forever home. She’s got a beautiful white coat and is working on finding the right ways to show her abundance of love and happiness. Sweetie thinks she’s a lap dog and loves to lounge on the futon or the couch while snuggling her person. At 20 months she still has some puppy energy in her and burns that off playing chase with the resident dog in the backyard. Sweetie gets along well with other dogs about her same size. She doesn’t quite understand personal space and that she’s a bit bigger. She would be good as an only dog or with a sidekick to show her the ropes. Sweetie might be a bit much with younger kids but good for older kids that are active and love to play outside. Sweetie does have limited vision however she has adapted well to her foster home without accommodation. She does fine getting around without assistance and does the stairs without issues. Sweetie is still working on learning to take walks on a leash. Her vision and lack of confidence comes out. A fenced yard would be great for Sweetie. Her foster mom says Sweetie loves to run laps around the leaf piles in the backyard and has become comfortable navigating the yard on her own. Sweetie really is a sweetheart trying to live her best life. She loves to give licks and nose boops. Sweetie loves to carry her toys around the house and an occasional shoe or 2 have been found in her bed.
