My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Minnie is a SPECIAL NEEDS case. Until she trusts you, which doesn’t take long, she has significant behavioral problems (snarling, growling, snapping, barking, she will fear bite and she can sometimes be resource protective). She came from a situation of EXTREME neglect; she was kept outside 24/7 and starved. Therefore, she's VERY fearful of people at first, but once she trusts you, she's the sweetest, most loving dog, but, because she's SO fearful, she needs an EXPERIENCED adopter who will GO SLOW and allow her to build trust. She is usually at our adoption events on Saturdays. She gets along with other dogs although she doesn’t really play with them. She will do best as an only dog. She doesn’t seem to mind cats. She bonds STRONGLY to one person, so she will do best in a one person home. With the person she trusts, she’s EXTREMELY affectionate. She loves to be picked up and held and she loves to give kisses and get belly rubs and go on walks. Because of her issues, she will NOT be adopted into a home with children under 18 - if you're interested in her, please email poochsavers@gmail.com with your experience with abused/fearful/neglected dogs.

More about this rescue

Our vision and our primary mission is to create a better world through kindness to animals. We believe this enriches the lives of both the animals and people. We are dedicated to focusing on rescuing abandoned, abused, homeless, neglected and or unwanted dogs of all sizes and breeds, and then placing them into responsible, loving, forever homes. We rescue and then provide food, shelter, love and, not only routine, but any necessary medical/vet care to dogs in need. We want to help create a community where all animals’ lives matter. Our guiding principal is the Golden Rule. We want to see the end of animal shelter killing and the unnecessary suffering from overpopulation and unwanted animals. To this end, we heavily promote spaying and neutering.
