COURTESY POST - URGENT ‼️

Red & Malcom - BONDED (Malcom is getting a haircut tomorrow)

Red is a spayed female Caucasian Shepherd/Chesapeake mix, 10 years old. She is due for her booster shots. “She is very sweet with people and loves to cuddle, but she has aggression issues with other animals. After years of trying training, working with vets, and making adjustments at home, we have had to accept that she needs a new home. Red does do great with our male poodle, Malcolm. He is neutered and needs his shots updated as well. The two of them have been together their entire lives and cannot be separated. Red cannot be inside with our two other dogs or our cat. Her aggression has reached the point where, if given the chance, she will charge through a door or gate to attack our other dogs if she happens to see them. We do not know how she would react around birds, livestock, or extremely young children, as she has only been around our kids, the youngest of whom is seven.

When Red is with people, she is incredibly affectionate. She used to sleep in our bed and cuddle all night, and she is happiest when she can be close to someone she trusts. Unfortunately, with our move and six kids at home, we cannot provide her with the care, space, or attention she needs. We are willing to travel to make sure they go to the right home.

Not asking a rehoming fee just want them in a good home. Moving Dec 1st so we're desperate.

Located in Watford City.”

If you are interested in Red and Malcom or have any questions, please reach out to Dawn at 701-421-5174.

Lulu (brindle) was more than happy to welcome new kid, Buddy (red/white) to the shelter Friday morning!

Both Lulu and Buddy are great with other dogs and are looking for their forever homes! Buddy is good with cats, but Lulu is not.

Looking for a new best friend, but worried he/she might be lonely while you’re at work? We have a very friendly bonded-pair available for adoption! 🐶🐶

Karma and Kasper came to us a couple of weeks ago after their owner abandoned them with their roommate and moved out of state 😞. Both dogs are now fully vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed/neutered.

Karma (German Shepherd) and Kasper (Border Collie/Lab mix) are both just a little over 1 year old, and are very friendly and smart - they both love to learn! Karma is an amazing listener and is extremely anxious when apart from her brother. Kasper tends to get a bit destructive when separated from his sister.

Both doggos appear to do well with other dogs and LOVE everyone they meet. They are very well-socialized with people, but could use some work on manners (they both get excited and a bit jumpy, especially Kasper). We have not cat tested them yet.

If you are interested in giving both Karma and Kasper their forever home together, please fill out an application below:

COURTESY POST

“Hank is 3 years old. He is neutered. Up to date on shots. He is good around other dogs, Kids would need to be from age 3 and up, babies make him skeptical, and he likes to chase cats so probably not good to have in the same home, He loves to run and play, loves to sleep in bed and cuddle, loves to go on walks🙃 He’s located in Leeds.”

If you are interested in Hank or have any questions, please contact Brandi at 701-350-2080.

*Please note, courtesy posts are posts we make to help owners re-home their pets when we do not have room at the shelter. We do not know the animal or anything about the animal other than what is in the post. Please contact the number listed if you are interested or have any questions!

How have these two cuties not been adopted yet??

Staff found these two sweet girls cuddled up together yesterday and we just had to share how adorable - and friendly - they are! LaVerne (diluted tortie) and Kouvr (torbie) are both still looking for their forever homes! They are not bonded - they didn’t even come in to the shelter together; this is just how friendly and easygoing they are!

If you are interested in giving one (or both) of these sweethearts a loving home, please contact Sheila at 701-367-6913 😸
