Story
Christmas miracle desperately needed!
Minnie is a 1 yr old Toy / Mini Poodle weighing in at about 8 lbs. She is a sweet, affectionate, playful, happy-go-lucky little girl who just wants to play with other dogs and cuddle with her people (including kids!). For this reason, we would prefer she go to a home with other dogs and kids, if possible. She is great with dogs of all sizes, small to extra large - she loves them all!
What makes Minnie even more special is the fact that a Hero Dog has a greater purpose — saving the lives of fellow pets in urgent need.
A “Hero Dog” is one who is specifically donated to our rescue in order to raise CRITICALLY NEEDED funds for life-saving surgeries of other pets in the rescue.
Minnie’s $2000 adoption fee is desperately needed to help pay for the recent medical emergencies we’ve been hit with such as Pablo’s rectal prolapse, Cora’s seizures, Irene’s stomach obstruction, and little puppy Jake’s fractured pelvis from being hit by a car - just to name a few. The costs to save their lives are *astronomical* and that’s on top of the treatment of countless dogs with heartworm, regular vetting, emergency boarding, transport, and supplies. And all this while we are facing the highest numbers of animals being euthanized in shelters ever recorded and scrambling daily to save as many innocent lives as possible.
Many people do not think twice about ‘purchasing’ a purebred pet from a breeder for thousands of dollars, which simply puts a profit in somebody’s pocket. In this case, the adoption fee/donation is actually used to SAVE THE LIVES of other pets who would have been euthanized because a small 501c3 rescue like ours does not have the necessary funding or adequate donations to do so otherwise. We are completely volunteer-run and exist *solely* on adoption fees and donations.
In essence, when you adopt this pet, you may be opening your heart and home to one dog, but you’re actually saving the lives of MANY that would not otherwise be possible. By doing so, you are sponsoring the ability for other pets to have a chance at finding their fairytale ending as well.
Thank you for your understanding and for partnering with us in this mission. We are a small team of volunteers with apx. 200 dogs (and some cats, too) in our rescue at any given time, all of whom were saved from death row in high kill shelters or dumped/abandoned in their community. 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to the animals in our care and your adoption donation is tax deductible.
