The number of dogs that we can save
from kill shelters is only limited by the number of foster homes we can
find. Please consider opening your home to a Fluffy Foster Dog. They
are in desperate need.
Fluffy
Dog Rescue began saving dogs in September 2006.
Since then, with your support, we have saved 400
lives!!

Hi,
I'm Bailey the Original
Fluffy
Dog and I came from Blount
County, AL.
They
say I was rescued, but I am not
sure what
that means. I know I was lost as
a pup and
some nice older couple took me in
for a
month. When I started to grow
into a big
beautiful teenage girl, I was not
the poodle
they thought I would be so they
took me
to a shelter. They were very nice
to me,
but something was still missing.
I think
they call it a family. I waited
and waited,
until they said they could not
wait any
longer and they had to make room
for others.
What did that mean? I am happy to
share
my floor with others. Anyway,
they then
told me that at the last minute a
lady from
WI called and she wanted to love
me furever.
That was ok, as my coat is really
thick,
and the cold is good for me. The
photo you
see is when I got to Wisconsin. I
was really
happy. Well, a year later I have
grown even
more and am about 75 pounds. I
love it here
with my new family. I have so
much to tell
you and photos to share. Please
keep watching
for my updates and I will even
tell you
about my brother Baxter, who had
the same
bad luck I did, until my mommy
saved him
too!
WHO
WE ARE
Fluffy
Dog Rescue was founded by one
woman who
had a desire to save a few dogs
lives if
she could. We have evolved into a
trio of
women and an extended group of
foster homes
and we continue the dream of
saving lives
that would otherwise be lost to
no fault
of their own. We have full time
jobs with
families, but we dedicate as much
time as
possible to fulfilling our
collective dream.
We
rescue most of our dogs from
urgent situations
involving high kill shelters
within the
surrounding states. Our focus is
medium
to large, wonderfully "Fluffy
Dogs".
OUR
LOCATION
We
do not
have a shelter. All of our dogs
are placed
in loving foster homes while they
wait for
their furever families to come
and get them.
This is a typical scene from one of our transports and why we do what we do!

Kobi needs your help! He came to us at the last minute from TN. He was heartworm positive and almost bald from flea allergies. We took care of the heartworms and the fleas, but have now found out that Kobi has Corneal Degeneration in both eyes. He also has a cataract in each eye. One causing total blindness. After some extensive testing, we will work with our vet to remove the cataracts. As you can imagine, this is very expensive. If you had ever thought of donating, now would be the time. Kobi needs your help to see the world as it should be seen. Kobi thanks you.

Interested
in Becoming a
Foster Parent?
We are
limited
to saving as many lives as we have
foster homes.
Fostering is great way to see if you
would like
a dog, or if a particular dog is for
you. Fostering
is simply a matter of opening your home
and heart
as a temporary home for a dog until its
permanent
furever home can be found. We will
provide you with all the supplies you need and pay for the vetting. There
is no cost to you. If you are
interested
in learning more, please send an email
to Lori

OUR
FEATURED
PET-MANDY
Mandy is a very happy two year old labby girl. She loves everyone including other dogs. She's about 50lbs now after being found at a mere 37lbs! Mandy is high energy and needs regular exercise and someone to give all her wonderful kisses too. She is potty trained and knows some basic commands. Mandy would also probably be a great dog for agility training.
THINK
YOU ARE READY TO
ADOPT? Prior
to adopting, be sure to ask yourself a
few questions:
Am I
knowledgeable about
the breed I am interested
in?
Am I ready to commit to taking care
of this
dog (emotionally, financially) for
the remainder
of its life which could be 12+
years?
Will I accept the fact that all dogs
shed, they
drool water and food, they chew, and
accidents
will happen?
Are
all members of your family ready to
take on
the responsibility of a dog?
OUR
ADOPTION PROCESS (Please read this in its entirety before submitting an application.) NOTE:
You must be 21 years of age or older and live in WI or IL to adopt. We do not adopt to families with
children under
the age of
six. This must be adheared to, as it is written in our insurance policy.
Please
submit an application which can be
found below.
We ask that
you be respectful of our time and only apply if you are ready to adopt
and have discussed this with all family members.
Return the application to the email
address
listed within the profile of the dog
of interest. Please indicate which dog you are interested in.
We will do an initial reference check
with your
current veterinarian to ensure your
current
or past pets have been
spayed/neutered, and
kept up to date on all shots and
heartworm preventative.
We will schedule a home visit at your home. All
members of the family need to be
present during
the meeting. We typically will not bring the dog that is up for adoption. The
purpose of the home visit is to discuss your needs and the needs of the dog or dogs that you are interested in. We will educate you on proper care and training of your dog and answer your questions.
If all of the above goes well, we will put you in touch with the dog's foster mom so you may set a time to meet your Fluffy Dog.
We provide every potential adopter
with information
on the "Facts about Dog Food". No
rawhide bones
and always the best grade food. We
recommend
Taste of the Wild and other natural, high protein
foods.
If
you have trouble accessing our
application please
email Lori
for assistance. Thank you for your
patience!
OUR REALITY
People ask me every day, why do you rescue dogs from southern states. The answer is that things are just horrible down there and the only hope for these dogs is rescues like ours. We work with shelters with 500 dogs that put down 100 per week. We have dogs that have lost their legs due to probably being hit by cars and have been told that noone down there would rescue them like that. It does get expensive, but I have not yet been able to determine the value of a life. We currently have a dog that has BB's in his heart from being shot. The vet said that if they were trying to scare him, they would have shot him in the back end. They were trying to kill him. Most of our dogs were strays that were picked up by the dog warden and placed in a shelter that will give them seven days. That is not real long when you are in a rural area that gets three adoptions a week and there are 160 dogs. I only wish that we could do more. For the dogs that we can save it makes all the difference.
We have so
many Adoption Happy Tails
Just a quick note to tell you (again) how very happy we are to have found Fluffy Dog Rescue and our fluffy dog, Moe. You were right when you said it was 'love at first site'. I was taken with how cute and energetic she was. I loved all of that curly coat too! It didn't take more than a couple of days and she had adopted us as her new family family. She claimed the space at the foot of our bed right away and became our protector. Moe really has the best personality. She's doing well with her commands but on her own, she acts a bit like a clown. She loves to grab a sock and run around the house with it. She knows she's being a bit naughty but this spontaneous game of keep-away is all in good fun. She's gentle with children and loves to play with them. She get so excited when she meets someone she knows. The tail wags a mile a minute and she has a great grin on her face. We have to tell her 'down' as she wants to jump up and play. When we're on ourwalks, people love to greet her and pat her head. (Naturally she loves the attention!)They're all curious about what kind of dog she is. Well, we were surprised to learn from the groomer and Vet that she wasn't' a Labradoodle, but is actually a PWD (Portuguese Water Dog). Bottom line, she's simply the best and I'm very thankful she's a part of our family.
