Wendell's Story...
Wendell is a precious Benji-type terrier mix! He is around a year old and weighs about 22 lbs. You couldn't ask for a better dog! Wendell is the sweetest little boy, and full of love! He loves to give kisses! He also loves jumping onto a cozy lap! Wendell was picked up as a stray and brought to a high-kill shelter in Southern Arizona. After neuter surgery his sutures opened up a bit so he was scheduled to be euthanized. That would have been a tragedy, because this boy is as good as gold! He is a little afraid of men and will flinch like he thinks you are going to hurt him sometimes. Somebody probably didn't treat him very well. Wendell is fine with other dogs, a bit afraid of small children. We don't have cats, but I am sure he would be fine with them. He is house-trained, dog-door trained and crate-trained. Wendell would love to have a home where he is adored like a prince and gets plenty of snuggle time. He has so much love to offer! Wendell's adoption fee is $200 and that includes neuter, microchip, DAPP, bordetella & rabies vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Wendell, please contact Delon.Washo@asu.edu or 602-295-4518.

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!
