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.

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



Caper

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.
