Sissy's Story

Sissy<br/>6 years, 13lbs<br/>Rescued in the Southwest where she was surrendered after her owner passed away.<br/><br/>Meet Sissy (also known as Bandit or Meeko, thanks to her little face mask)! At 6 years old and 13 pounds, this affectionate, loving, playful girl is people-oriented with a low energy, homebody spirit — she's happiest curled up close to her people, tail wagging nonstop. She's cautious but curious when it comes to new people and situations, needing a little time to warm up before she shows you her sweet side, and she mostly ignores other dogs on walks unless one gets too close to her face, at which point she just quietly signals she'd rather not, no barking or fuss involved. <br/><br/>Sissy is fully potty trained (she'll even let you know when she needs to go), doing well on leash, and very food-motivated, which has made basic training surprisingly quick. She does not shed.<br/>She's getting more comfortable with her crate each day, loves her big plush highland cow toy, and is a great car companion who's just happy to ride along. Her days are simple — walks, naps, meals, and lots of cuddle time — and she'd do best in a moderate-to-calm apartment household with a patient adopter who loves a velcro dog and doesn't mind giving her time to build confidence. Another calm dog in the home could help, though she'd likely need to warm up to them first. Sissy is a sweet, gentle soul who just wants to be by your side — the perfect quiet, devoted companion for someone ready to help her feel safe.<br/><br/>**Sissy previously tested positive for heartworm and was treated before she came north.**<br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt Sissy, apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt@truenorthrescue.org to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE. IF THIS LISTING IS UP, THE DOG IS NOT ADOPTED YET.<br/><br/>Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you!

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy
First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
