 9/12/24 Building Volunteer Feedback: Pippi is such an easy dog at the shelter, and I imagine that translates to being an easy to care for dog in her home. Pippi is such a nice gentle dog, she walks like an angel, is potty trained, and generally doesn't cause a ruckus in her kennel. Being calm in the shelter environment isn't always the easiest and Pippi has done very well keeping her cool. It is heartbreaking to see her in the shelter environment for so long but at least she is doing well. Pippi does love a game of fetch and a good walk but she also has no issue taking princess naps throughout the day. 

 While Pippi isn't a good candidate to live with other dogs (or pets) since she will resource guard her favorite person from other animals, she can be friendly with dogs in a daycare environment. Her out of home dog socialization is good, which is good for encounters expected or otherwise. As we have needed shelter space Pippi goes to Fetchers where she gets socializing via doggy daycare and has a very fun time doing so. Pippi would be a great companion looking for her spot to lounge. She hopes it is with you 

7/19/2024 Foster Feedback: Pippi is the sweetest angel girl there is! She seemed very comfortable with me right away . Pippi loves to play ball, looking out the window, going for walks and chewing on her chew toy! Pippi is 100% potty trained and never had an accident while in my home. I did not put her in a kennel ever because she didn't seem interested in anything she wasn’t supposed to have; she didn't try to get into the garage or onto the counter! She is the sweetest girl and loves to give kisses, getting head rubs, scratches right above her tail and sleeping next to you! She deserves the best home!

5/11/2024 Foster Feedback:  Pippi has settled in quite well and is looking to be the Queen in someone's house. Her favorite things include running around the yard chasing her jolly ball, chewing on bones, sleeping next to her favorite people, playing tug of war, and carrying around her stuffed toys. She also loves going on walks around the neighborhood and the park. 

Pippi knows the following commands: Sit, Stay, Lay down, Shake, High five, Leave it, Come, and Kennel. She is kennel trained, has fantastic leash manners, and is potty trained. Pippi will let you know when she needs to go outside by standing next to the door until you let her out. 
 
At the moment, she wants to be the queen of the castle, so she will bark at dogs or strangers walking past the house. She will also bark at dogs walking too close to her. We have been working on this with her.
 
Pippi would make a lovely addition to any family looking for a laid back, but fun loving "bear" in their house!

4/12/2019 Volunteer Feedback: Pippi is a very happy pup! She’s always smiling and investigating new places with her sniffer. She loves squeaky toys and belly scratches. Her back foot kicks when you find the right spot! Pippi does really well on walks and would love a family that would enjoy her cuddles and kisses.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

There is a pre-adoption application, reference check, and home visit required prior to adopting an animal. There is an adoption donation/fee applied to all dogs. This fee ranges from $100-150. These fees help cover the veterinary care we have provided for the animals while they wait for homes. The fee also helps pay for the food and other general care we provide for the dogs. You must be 21 yrs or older to adopt a dog and can not live in a an area where there are dog breed bans. We do adopt to homes outside on the area, but there are special requirements for out of state adopters.

Go meet their pets

We regularly have "Meet the Dogs!" events at the West Fargo PetSmart store. These events will give you the opportunity to meet some of the dogs we have available for adoption and to visit with our volunteers. See our website for schedule dates/times.
