My story

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

Miss Victoria is a very good-natured and affectionate Dachshund mix that loves nothing more than to cozy up in your lap or tunnel into her blankets.  She has gone on adventures to the family cabin and visited grandma in the nursing home where she relished in receiving all the pets from the residents.  She does great with kids of all ages, even offering gentle kisses to the little ones.  She currently sleeps in her kennel, but she would like me to tell you she would secretly like to sleep in your bed.  Under your blankets.  With her head on your pillow.  Please.  :)



Here is other information about Lady Victoria:



Other Dogs:  She gets along great with other dogs!  She currently lives with a dog her size and has met the neighbor’s large dog. She loves them both!  She does not food guard and enjoys playing with her squeaky toys. 



Prey Drive:  While Victoria does not seem to have a prey drive for small critters (squirrels, birds), she does believe she can propel her short little legs fast enough to catch…..deer.  Go big or go home, right?!  Note that she has not been cat tested.



Housetraining:  Her foster has her on a schedule to go outside and as long as this is maintained, Victoria has no accidents.  She is working on learning to ask to go out if the schedule is broken.   She is kenneled at night and during the workday and keeps her kennel accident-free. 



Barking:  She is a typical vocal Dachshund.  She has a big-dog bark and will alert to anything she’s unsure of.  This includes all men (teenage boys seem to be exempt from this rule).  Men take note:  Victoria has a soft spot for yummy treats.  Just keep these on hands and apparently she comes around quickly! 



Leash Manners:  She is working on her leash manners and not to jump on people.  Her foster is working with her on the “sit” command and she’s responding quite well!  Guess what she’s using?  Yep, you guessed it….treats!



Victoria is very sweet and will make a great family dog.  Don’t miss out on meeting this precious girl!

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.

Adoption application

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.
