Foster Home Feedback 

** Resource Guarding

11/25/24 Foster Feedback: We have had Zarah for little more than a month now. I can tell you she rides well in the car. She is kennel trained and has not had any accidents in her kennel. Zarah will whine a little when you put her in the kennel if you don't leave the house or go and come back without letting her out. She has done well being out of her kennel at night.  When we keep her in the room with us, she will sleep on or right next to us.  She has also spent some nights in her kennel without issue.  We have had her on a couple of walks where she does ok, with a little leash pulling but not bad.  She just needs a bit more practice.  Zarah seems to be ok with the cat. She is a little curious at first.  By telling her no and redirecting her as more time goes, she is less excited when she sees the cat. Zarah is on a regular feeding schedule and is doing well.  She was a little skinny when we first got her but is looking good now. She does have a little resource guarding.  To help with that issue we have limited the number of toys that are out and keep the dogs separated while eating. Zarah can be a little timid around new people, but she warms up quickly. We are going to be giving her a bath and brush in the next couple days, as her coat is blowing out a bit from regular husky shedding.

** Zarah is anaplasmosis positive. This is a tick-borne illness, and she is currently being treated with Doxycycline.  **

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.
