My story

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

Hi, my name is Betty.

I lived my life mostly tied up outside. My previous family wasn't very nice to me and even thought I was a boy!! When they dropped me off at a rescue on the Pine Ridge Reservation, I was very scared and confused, but quickly realized I was in a safer place! They cut the cable off my neck, realized I'm a lady and gave me a nice name. After getting shots and spayed, I was loaded up with other rescued animals and took a long ride to Minnesota where my foster mom picked me up.

At first, I was very afraid of new people and didn't want to walk on leash or get into the car, but once I got in, I got to snuggle up with my new human foster sister and she helped calm me down. I was very excited to see that I had a dog brother waiting to meet me! I felt so much safer once I saw him and the fenced yard and immediately started playing and wagging my tail and exploring the yard. When it was time to go inside, I got scared again though. I had to walk up these things my foster mom calls "stairs." Those things are suspicious!!

I still don't like being on leash much, or being held by the collar, but I'm getting used to it. I did use the bathroom in the house at first because there's this spot that feels just like the ground outside, but foster mom calls it a "rug." Weird! She says I'm catching on fast though and I don't use the bathroom inside much anymore, unless I get really scared. I prefer when humans are sitting or laying down, they just seem scarier when they are standing. It sometimes takes me awhile to approach people, even if I REALLY want to, because hands, loud noises and sudden movements remind me of my old, scarier life.

I love treats a lot and I'm learning the difference between my toys and toys I can't have. I accidentally confused my foster sister's shoes as a toy and I could tell that did not make them happy. I really do want to make my humans happy, but houses are weird and I'm still getting used to all the rules! I do hang out in a kennel sometimes, but I much prefer to be on this thing my foster mom calls a "couch." I didn't really "get it" at first, but now I know it's just a giant dog bed! I love sitting in laps and laying on people, even though I'm a big dog.

I would love to find a patient family that can take the time to teach me all the rules of being a pet and that will understand that I sometimes make mistakes and I also need more time to warm up than most dogs. I am so grateful to be in a safe, warm and loving house! I love hanging out with the resident dog, my human roommates and I don't mind the cats in the house. I do well with respectful kids, but kids that aren't gentle or that are loud and move fast, might overwhelm me. Since I was an outside dog for so long, I really need to have my own yard to hang out in when the house gets too overwhelming.

A NOTE FROM FOSTER MOM:

Betty needs a home with a confident dog to help teach her the ropes. She also needs a fenced yard. Will consider a family with young kids if kids are well educated and gentle/calm with the dog. She'll likely need to be crated when not supervised and will need frequent potty breaks until she's more used to being in the house. Such a sweet soul and she'll make a family so so happy

Additional adoption info

We want to be sure that the adoption process is as smooth and positive an experience as possible. Our animals are in foster homes and we do everything we can to learn as much about their likes and dislikes, temperament and activity level as we can while in our care. By doing so, it enables us to work more closely with a potential adopter to help ensure a "good fit." The adoption process might take a bit longer than adopting from a shelter, but our ultimate goal is finding a match that benefits not just the animal, but also the family interested in adopting.

We are looking to let our adopters chose the speed of the adoption process. To start the process, we require that an adoption application be completed. Once submitted, we will connect with you to discuss the type of animal you're looking for, your lifestyle and home environment, and what the best fit may be. At times, we may request to conduct a home visit, which can often be done in tandem with what we refer to a "meet and greet" where you have the opportunity to meet and interact with the animal(s) you're interested in adopting. Ad part of our process we conduct background check on all applicants, will check personal and vet references also. Our goal is always the proper placement for any adopted animal, which may mean that the animal you originally are interested in may turn out to not be the best fit, but we will work with you to find a better match. Adoption fees include spaying/neutering of all animals, age appropriate vaccinations ad microchipping and range anywhere from $80-$175 for cats and $200-$450 for dogs.

Prior to finalizing adoptions we require a signed Contract & Agreement which includes an understanding that if for any reason the animal does not work out that you will return them back to The Rescue Crew.

Go meet their pets

As all of our animals are in private foster homes, we do not have a facility where adoptable animals can be met. However, we do host adoption events occasional throughout the Twin Cities metro area, and those will be posted both on our website and Facebook pages.

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Minnesota-based animal rescue organization which strives to prevent the unnecessary euthanasia of companion animals by finding them loving forever homes. The Rescue Crew was established specifically to fill a need in the local Twin Cities metro area to help shelter animals facing imminent risk of euthanasia without rescue support.

OUR MISSION: We are here to help save the lives of companion animals in need. Those who are homeless; the abused or abandoned; the neglected and unloved, and to show them human compassion and kindness, ultimately helping them become valued family members in a loving home.

OUR VISION: We envision the day where every adoptable animal has the opportunity of finding a responsible, loving home. A world where pets are no longer mistreated, abused or abandoned.
