ND-Fargo-PB 4 Yr. Old Black & White Male-In Rescue


  • This boy is in a private rescue in Fargo, ND. There is information about him from the foster on his Petfinder page. Fargo is not real close to any major city but is approximately 225 miles away from Minneapolis, MN, Sioux Falls, SD, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have not contacted the rescue recently to see if he is still available.

    Here is his Petfinder page:

  • Oh he is a cutie.


  • He's been there awhile too, and I'm kinda in the market for a black & white, hmm…

  • Go for it Joanne! He's closer to you than to me, and I just got a black and white last year (Chipley). I did look at this guy, but I'm "full".

    You need a B/W!


  • He is very elegant looking in that tuxedo black coat. Absolutely, scoop him up, Joanne! ND is no place to be homeless.

    I SO want another B, but Spencer wouldn't accept another male. It's a guy thing. :)


  • Hey you guys, I really don't need to be getting encouragement like this! ;-) The timing might not be good right now, there are a couple oldies here, it wouldn't be fair to them.

  • It is hard with elders on the house… some will accept an addition... some are packed to tightly to do so..... And I ageee, been there done that and returned a puppy to co-own with the breeder because my Elders were NOT impressed and it was not fair to them or the puppy....


  • Remember this guy? No, he's not coming here <too bad="">but he has just been released to BRAT and he is on his way to Minneapolis tonight. I got a look at his rescue form, he has a very good resume, and he's just a little guy! And get this, his previous owner surrendered him 5 days before Christmas <some people="">and he's basically been in a boarding kennel since then. I'm happy he's sleeping in someone's home tonight!</some></too>


  • I am glad this boy is going to BRAT! I hope he is still socialized even after being kenneled that long.

    I do not understand why non specific breed rescues take in dogs and then leave them kenneled for months! I understand temporary kenneling until one can find a foster home but for months. I have read about this happening too many times and I did not realize how often this occurs. I monitor the Urgent Part 2-Urgent Death Row Dogs Facebook page which monitors the NYCACC shelters and I have seen dogs posted on its site where a dog has been rescued from the shelter and then sits in a kennel for months. I know people want to save dogs but it is expensive for kenneling and this is how rescues become hoarders! There is also an all breed rescue group in IN that solicits funds to pay for boarding.

    I received this from Lori who is the BRAT Mix Coordinator: Yachtz is a sad and difficult case due to his age. He is 12 years old, in excellent health, up to date on vaccinations and sadly been in a Kennel for over 4 months now. His owner has fallen on very hard luck finding herself homeless after hospitalization and is devastated that her longtime companion now has no one to provide for him and keep him safe as he lives out his life. The local ASPC graciously stepped up and paid part of the kennel fees but that was a while ago and now there is again a sizeable bill of over $1000. The kennel owners understand though that they will never be able to recover these fees and have been absolutely great in this situation, they do not want to see Yacthz euthanized, they say he is still a vibrant and healthy mix. He is bigger, about 50 pounds but has the Basenji yodel and coloring. They are willing to work with any group who can get him into a home, be it foster care or a forever home. Understandably though, he needs to be out of the kennels! According to his longtime owner,…. Yachtz sounds aggressive around bicycle riders, skaters of both skate board and any type of roller skates. He is also sensitive to motorcycles. He was like this when we adopted him in 2003 and have no idea what may have happened to him in his early years. Yachtz also can be aggressive at meal or snack time if another dog is near his food. He will protect his food… He does not have a bite history but may do better living out his senior years as an only dog or with an owner experienced enough to deal with these characteristics effectively. Yachtz’s owner is still homeless and has been told once that Yachtz had already been euthanized, please help us to help his owner rest easy in this difficult time by assuring that Yachtz will have the opportunity to have a wonderful forever family to live out the rest of his natural life. If you have a warm spot in your heart and home that Yachtz might occupy for the rest of his life please contact Ray Eckart, BRAT Coordinator. Ray is helping the owner and kennel owner to find a safe resolution for this sweet pup. Please Contact; Ray Eckart rayeck1052@att.net Jennifer

    It is difficult to give up a dog one has had for over 4 years! I lived in an apt. in Houston and I know that unless you walk the dog frequently or have it go to doggy day care and dog parks, the dog will not get enough exercise. Jennifer
