*EDIT** NORTH HAS GONE INTO FTA 🐾🩷
🌟 It’s North’s turn to shine! 🌟
We’ve talked a lot about North’s nine puppies and how much they need homes, but now it’s time to put the spotlight on their amazing mama!
North just turned one year old and has already raised nine puppies of her own. She’s still so young herself, and now it’s her turn to experience life as someone’s beloved companion!
North is a wonderful medium-to-large-sized girl, and we suspect she may be some sort of Husky-Collie mix, although we can’t say for certain. When she first came to us, she was quite skinny and her coat wasn’t in the best shape. Thankfully, she’s made some wonderful progress, and we’re so happy to see her looking and feeling better!
So, what’s North like?
This girl is VERY people-focused! She loves everyone, is incredibly affectionate, and would be a dream for someone who wants a dog to cuddle with. She loves giving hugs and will happily try to climb right into your lap, despite being a pretty decent-sized girl!
North is also incredibly smart and responsive. She genuinely seems to want to be a good dog, and we think she has so much potential to learn. Since she spent much of her life outdoors, she’s still working on some of her manners. Her enthusiasm can get the best of her, and she’s known to have a little jumping routine when she first gets outside (we’re working on it, we promise!). But once she settles in, she’s an AMAZING walker. She walks at almost a perfect heel and frequently looks back up at you to check in. With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, we think she could blossom into an incredible companion.
North may fill out a little more now that she’s growing up and once she’s spayed, but she shouldn’t get much taller. In our experience, she’s also been quite tolerant of grooming!
North is pretty dog-friendly, although she can be selective. A proper meet-and-greet with any potential canine siblings would be needed to make sure they’re a good match.
We think cats may be promising for North, as she is easily redirected. However, any introductions would still need to be handled carefully and gradually.
Unfortunately, the shelter environment has been hard on North, and we’ve been seeing her decline. She desperately needs the chance to decompress somewhere quiet, feel safe, and have someone focus on her for a change. She has so much love to give, and she deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and just be a dog.
North has spent her short life growing up and raising babies. Now it’s her turn to be someone’s baby.
If North sounds like your girl, we’d love to hear from you! She’s looking for her forever home, but even a few weeks of respite in a quiet home could make a world of difference for her.
