Currently located in: Leominster, Massachusetts Adoptable in: We can transport almost anywhere in the U.S. to an approved adopter! Good with dogs: Yes, as always, slow introductions are very important when bringing a new dog into your pack.  Good with cats: She is a puppy so she should adjust fine to a cat. As always, slow introductions are best! Good with kids: Yes. As always adult supervision is always required when kids are present! House trained: Yes! Once in a new home she'll adjust to your routine quickly! Crate trained: Yes! Meet Cool Whip! Cool Whip is a stunning Husky/Shepherd mix who’s almost 5 months old and weighs around 35 lbs (as of end of February). She has a plush, incredibly soft coat, and true to her Husky roots, she loves the outdoors—especially snow, which she finds absolutely magical. Cool Whip is currently thriving in a foster home with five other dogs ranging from 15–80 lbs and ages 3–12. She adores every one of them and has a sweet, gentle, and submissive personality. She would truly blossom in a home with another playful dog to show her the ropes and share some fun. She can be a little shy when meeting new people and appreciates a moment to observe and feel safe—but she warms up quickly. You might see a curious pause, a tiny nervous bark, or even a full belly-up roll asking for rubs. However she greets you, one thing is certain: she is incredibly sweet and irresistibly cute. All she needs is someone willing to look past that initial shyness and give her the chance to show her happy, playful side. Cool Whip is doing wonderfully in her foster home. She’s already mastered crate training and learned “sit” in just minutes—proof of how smart and eager she is. She’s highly food-motivated and loves treats, making training fun and easy. Cool Whip is ready for a loving home where she can continue growing into the amazing dog she’s meant to be 🐾💖 Adopt, don’t shop — and help give this deserving puppy the loving home she's waiting for. The adoption fee is $550. We do not accept deposits or the adoption fee until you have met your new furbaby and are ready to bring them home. If you think you are the right home for Cool Whip, please apply to adopt him here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq8ShXPVGLfrGHlIYMk0plgI_PJxOEMdr8QItpQMXYCnluvg/viewform Important Information: All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped! You must be an approved adopter in order to go on meet and greets. This saves everyone’s time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose. We are very quick to respond and process applications! All animals are posted until they have gone home to their new family. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. Please apply quickly and be prepared to welcome them into your home within a few days if you are interested. The Adoption Process: After our volunteers receive the application, they contact the potential adopter to set up an interview. During the interview they will:    •    discuss the animal the adopter is applying to adopt,    •    talk to the adopter about their experience with animals,    •    find out more about the type of animal the adopter is looking to adopt,    •    go over any questions the rescue may have regarding your application,    •    help find the perfect fit for the adopter's family and lifestyle,    •    and answer any questions the adopter has about the animal they are looking to adopt, the rescue, and how the adoption process works. As part of the approval process, we require 2 non-family personal references. Our volunteers contact both references and have conversations regarding the potential adopter. If we are unable to reach the references provided, additional references may be requested. We also require a vet check. We will call the vet to conduct a short reference check.  A video walk-through of the adopter's home (and yard, if adopting a dog) is also required. The safety of our animals is one of our top priorities. They deserve to have a safe and secure place to live. The video can be sent to the Whiskers Fund email address or Facebook messenger upon submitting your application. When submitting the video, please reference which animal(s) you are applying to adopt.  Once the adopter is approved and matched with an animal, we will make arrangements for the animal to go to their new home. We hope to have each animal in their new home within a week. We are very clear that we will be keeping in touch and checking in for updates. Interested in Fostering?
