About this Dog
~Adoptable Toucan Dan ~ Handsome Dan, is a spunky, adorable, sweet, energetic, one year old boy who loves to cuddle! Dan was adopted from our rescue in May of 2024 at about 3 months old when no concerning behaviors were observed. Dan was surrendered back to rescue when he was about 6 months old for play and biting that was escalating to a point of being more intense than typical puppy behavior. Dan’s family noticed the behaviors escalate after sending Dan to a board and train program that used aversive training methods. Even several months later, poor Dan will still occasionally flinch with approached quickly/touched in the neck area. When Dan was returned to rescue, we wanted to ensure that we were setting him up for success with guidance from our vet. We have been ensuring that he gets daily mental and physical stimulation. Dan has also been neutered while with us. Dan has been back with us in rescue for 10 months and we have not seen any concerning behaviors. He has been with 3 different foster families and has really thrived in his latest foster home, with foster mom sharing that “he is the easiest foster she’s had yet!” Dan is crate trained, and potty trained and loves meeting new people and animals. He is the first to greet people when they enter his foster home and wants to greet everyone when he goes on walks. Dan is doing well walking on a leash, but since it’s exciting to make new friends, he is still learning to walk without pulling. He loves other dogs so much, that sometimes his playfulness can be a little too much and “annoying” to older dogs or dogs who are not as playful. A similar sized dog who is playful or a home by himself would be best, although he has done fantastic with his little foster puppies. Dan loves playing in the fenced in yard, but also enjoys going for walks and for car rides, so would love an adopter who enjoys being outside and who would like an errand buddy! Young children can be overstimulating for many dogs because of their fast movements and often higher volume levels so we think a home with children ages 10 and up would be best for Dan. “Toucan Dan” deserves the best. He is truly a rescue favorite and has thrived over the past 10 months. If you think this handsome, smart, cuddly boy would make a great sidekick for you, please complete the application below. Dan is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and neutered for an adoption fee of $375. https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-applicationd

Adopt Dan and Receive Dan's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Dan's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Dan's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Dan, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Dan's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Dan was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Dan’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Dan’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Dan’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
