How to Introduce a New Puppy to Your Dog
Havapoos haven’t been around for a long time, but in their short stint, they’ve become one of the most sought-after dog breeds in North Dakota. What makes this breed special is how well-rounded Havapoos can be. For example, they’re perfectly happy in apartments in busy cities like Fargo or Bismarck, but also happy to live in more rural areas of North Dakota.
When you pair their adaptability with their intelligence, trainability, and simple care needs, it’s no surprise that Havapoos are great dogs to adopt in North Dakota. Still, before you decide to adopt one, it’s important to understand the process. You need to know how much it costs, where to look, and the requirements you must meet before you can bring them home.
If you don’t meet these requirements or move too quickly, the Havapoo you love may end up going to another family. For these reasons, it’s important to stick around and read on to learn more about how to adopt a Havapoo in North Dakota.
Havapoo Adoption in North Dakota
The adoption process for a Havapoo in North Dakota is a simple one, but that doesn’t mean you should wing it. Instead, it’s important to focus on preparation for the process, which starts with having what you need to adopt a Havapoo.
This includes permission from a landlord (if you rent), a valid photo ID, and meeting the minimum age requirements of an organization (usually 18). You’ll also need to include references, prepare your home for their arrival (fence off your backyard if you have one), and have a crate, leash, and collar.
Once you meet these requirements, the process is simple and begins with filling out an adoption application. The application will ask for details about your life, like your job, other pets you have, and people who live with you. This information is verified through references, home visits, contact with veterinarians, and a home visit.
Meet-and-greets with members of your family are also important, and this helps you and the organization determine if a Havapoo is compatible with your family. If your application is approved, you can sign the contract and bring home your Havapoo.

How Much Does It Cost to Adopt a Havapoo in North Dakota?Adopting a Havapoo in North Dakota will run you about $200 to $600. The amount varies by shelter, rescue, or foster program. Most organizations charge more for puppies due to the cost of their care (vaccinations, surgery, housing), so keep that in mind. Fargo, and other cities, also require pet licensing for your Havapoo. This will cost you another $5 to $10, depending on your location. |
How Should I Train a Havapoo?How you train your Havapoo comes down to your goals. Are you someone who wants to hike through North Dakota’s parks? It helps to focus on socialization, leash training, and commands. Thankfully, we have basic obedience programs that can help you get started. On the other hand, if you plan on walking through town or a major city, like Fargo or Bismarck, it helps to focus more on socialization. Once you have your goal, you can move on to the actual training process. Keep sessions short (10 to 20 minutes), and focus on being positive. Reward successful training sessions with praise, treats, toys, food, and anything else that makes them happy. This will keep them excited to train with you. Last but not least, make sure you make training a consistent part of your routine. In other words, it helps to train them daily, or at least a few times per week. |
