of enthusiasm and snuggles!!
I'm a super smart girl who loves to play - tug, or fetch, or with squeaky toys. And I love going for walks, I'm well behaved on a leash, I sit at corners and know how to heel. It's pretty cold out right now, and I don't have much fur, so I sit nicely for a fuzzy warm coat that keeps me from shivering too much. I'll also give you a paw when you ask, and I know to stay out of the kitchen when my family is cooking, and I sit nicely when the front door opens, I would never escape as I love my people too much! Car rides are great too, I can't resist a good adventure! I love snuggling on the couch, but I know I have to be invited (I've perfected the art of resting my chin on the edge and looking especially sad until you do).
I'm not a big fan of my crate, I sleep nicely in there at night until it's time for you to get up, but I'd be even happier if you let me join you on the bed where I have to be touching you. And during the day, I do okay in the house while my family is at work as long as I have good toys to keep me amused.
I love to run around the fenced-in yard at my foster home with my foster brother while we chase the smells and sounds. But you'll hardly ever hear me bark, except once in a great while when I'm super frustrated! I need a bit of time to make new doggy friends, but once I've had a chance to be properly introduced, I'm just fine. My best dog friends are ones who aren't too excitable, as I have enough enthusiasm for all of us! Oh, and I think cats are only here to chase, so let's not give me that chance. I take treats really well, and I do great with kids 10 and older, when I get excited I can knock over the little ones and then I feel bad.
Because I'm a smart girl, I need a smart family to remind me who's in charge. I mean, I'm much happier when my family tells me what's expected of me! So if you're looking for a "set it and forget it" kind of dog, I'm not the girl for you. But if you are comfortable investing some time into showing me how you want me to behave, I promise you that I'm totally worth it!
So...........I'm ready to start my forever life - how about with you?? Put in your adoption application and let's get started!!
Adoption Fee: $400
We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433
***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.
Our Weight Classes are as follows:
0- 25lbs - Small
26- 45lbs - Medium
46-89 - Large
90+ X-large
If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:
Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.
If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs by 6 months of age. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months of age, they will need to be spayed/neutered at one of our preferred clinics. This will be determined by your contract along with the month they should have their surgery. This is included in your adoption fee.
Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.
If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.
If a dog is listed as PENDING, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.
