About this Dog
Meet Kurt, a joyful, cuddly young Norwegian Elkhound who’s as striking as he is sweet. At around 40 pounds with a thick, plush coat and big happy energy, Kurt turns heads wherever he goes—and his sunny personality is just as lovable as his good looks. Kurt is still a pup, so he’s learning the ropes of home life. He’s working on potty training and crate training and making steady progress every day. He’s also learning to walk nicely on a leash—sometimes he pulls or freezes, but he’s improving quickly with consistent practice. Because of his thick undercoat, Kurt does best with shorter, more frequent walks in warmer weather, and he’s a champ at the dog wash! At home, Kurt is a big-time snuggler. Whether it’s on the couch or curled up next to you in bed, he wants to be touching his person as much as possible. He’s gentle, patient, and affectionate, with a calm, slightly goofy nature that makes him a delight to have around. He also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys their company—though he doesn’t need a canine sibling to thrive. While Kurt is a little cautious around loud noises or new situations, his even temperament and sweet disposition shine through. He does best when his crate is nearby his people at night, and though he may bark initially when crated, he settles once the house quiets down. If you're looking for a gentle, beautiful, people-loving pup who’s happy to lounge the day away next to you—Kurt might just be your perfect match. He's got all the makings of a loyal companion, with just a bit more training and patience to help him become his best self. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***

Adopt Kurt and Receive Kurt'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, Kurt's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Kurt's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Kurt, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Kurt'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 Kurt was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Kurt’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Kurt’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, Kurt’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!
