She’s gentle in nature but full of quiet confidence, happily following her doggie friends and joining in on the fun without ever being pushy.<br/><br/>Tova LOVES toys of all kinds — squeakers, crinkly toys, stuffies — if it makes noise, she’s thrilled. Playtime is her favorite part of the day, but she’s just as quick to settle in your lap or nuzzle against you for affection.<br/><br/>There’s something beautifully soulful about Tova. She watches the world with soft curiosity, taking everything in, and she bonds deeply with the people who show her love. Whether she’s padding around behind you to see what you’re doing or lying quietly at your feet, Tova adds a sense of warmth and sweetness wherever she goes.<br/><br/>Important Puppy Information<br/>These cuties may be adorable, but they are also full‑time commitments. As puppies, they require:<br/>🕒 Supervision and time — They cannot be left alone more than 2–3 hours total per day.<br/>🍽️ Feeding 3 times a day<br/>🚽 Frequent potty breaks<br/>🏫 Training & socializing — This is CRITICAL. Puppies need consistent exposure, structure, and bonding during these early months.<br/>💞 Guidance, patience, and love<br/><br/>Proper training and socialization now set the foundation for confident, well‑behaved, happy adult dogs.

Fetching Hearts Rescue's Adoption Policy
Apply for any of our dogs: https://www.fetchingheartsrescue.org/adoption-form-online Our team of screeners will process you application once received. This process typically takes a couple days to a week. Once processed, you will hear back from one of our team members regarding your approval status & next steps. The next steps typically involve scheduling a meet and greet if the dog is already in the state, or informing you of the transport process, date & what to expect. If all goes well during your meet & greet you will be able to take home your new family member. All meet and greets are held with the intention of adoption, but only if you and the foster agree that the dog is a good match for you and your family. We ask that you come to the meet and greet or transport day with a leash, collar, name tag (even with just your information on it, if you don't know a name yet), water, a few biscuits, and maybe a blanket or bed for the car ride home. If your dog has any special food, toys, a bed etc., the foster or volunteer will provide these to you. They will also have the dog's medical records and will review these with you before handing them off.
