Betsy's Story...
Betsy is a very gentle, good girl! She lived on the Indian Reservation and her family turned her into the police out there when they ran out of food for her and her puppies. She came to us with her 8 month old male puppy and two 8-week old female puppies. She is the most gentle mother dog I have ever seen! Not only were Betsy's own puppies too old to be nursing off of her when she came, but we also had 10-week old Queensland heeler puppies that decided some milk would be great! I was shocked that she let them nurse off of her, and she never snapped at one pup! Usually mom's let the pups know that enough is enough, but Betsy is just too nice to do that! She is very well behaved and has a nice, mellow personality. Betsy is crate-trained, house-trained and dog door-trained. She sleeps on a dog bed in the bedroom and doesn't make a peep at night. Betsy loves our two young children and gets along with all of our big and small dogs. We do not have any cats, but I am sure she would be fine with them too. She is 55 lbs and estimated to be about a year and a half old. Betsy will make a wonderful addition to a loving home! Betsy's adoption fee is $150 and that includes spay, microchip, DAPP & rabies vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Betsy, please contact Delon.Washo@asu.edu or 602-295-4518.
AZ Prussian Snailhound Dog Rescue would like to remind everyone that puppies are a big commitment and require a lot of attention. Puppies often exhibit undesirable behaviors such as chewing and digging. Of course they also are a lot of fun and are very lovable too. When choosing a puppy please consider how much time you will be able to spend training and socializing your new puppy.

About Our Rescue Group...
AZ Prussian Snailhound Dog Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is committed to providing rescue and safe-haven for dogs in need. Most of the dogs we rescue are of mixed breeds. When we are out with our dogs and people ask, "What kind of dog is that?", my husband replies by saying, "It is a rare Prussian Snailhound. They are popular in Europe." Each Prussian Snailhound is unique and deserves a loving home! Please open your heart and your home to a rescue dog!
Our major focus is the rescue of stray dogs from the Ft. McDowell Indian Reservation. Since July 2009 we have worked with other groups to rescue over 300 dogs and puppies. These are amazingly sweet dogs that have had to live off of the land and brave extreme heat, cold, rain, drought, coyotes, rattlesnakes, hunger, traffic and people who try to harm them. They deserve to have a proper home. This started out as a mission to save about 30 dogs who hung out behind the casino, as the casino managers saw them as a nuisance and were threatening to poison or shoot the dogs. We ended up saving way more dogs as we became aware that the problem extended far beyond the casino. Some of the adult dogs are extremely fearful of humans at first and require extensive rehabilitation in order to learn how to trust and become a member of the family. Once they realize how good home life is, they will be your best friend for life!

In addition to the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs from the Ft. McDowell Indian Reservation, it is our goal to work closely with the tribe to educate people who live on the Reservation about spay/neuter and to facilitate a low cost spay/neuter program. So far in 2011, 148 pets have been spayed/neutered on the Reservation!
