About Us
We are a small not for profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization dedicated to rescuing and re-homing toy breed dogs.
We accept mostly Chihuahua's, Pomeranians, Miniature Schnauzers, Brussels Griffons, Chinese Cresteds, Papillons and Yorkies,( but not limited to these breeds).
We take in the old, the special needs and the young.
They include retired breeders, kennel close outs, and sometimes puppies, that, for some reason were returned or rejected by pet stores.
Although our main focus is helping any ex breeder in need, we also pull from kill shelters and when we have the foster space available will help with owner surrenders.
We consist of families and individuals who foster in our homes since we do not have a physical shelter. We do not receive any government funding nor outside fundraisers. We rely entirely on donations and our own fundraisers to support our efforts. Without our caring and dedicated volunteers and foster homes we would not be able to help these little survivors out of the mills and offer them a chance at a normal life. There are no salaries here for what we do. We get paid with sloppy kisses and a warm body to snuggle up with while they are with us.
Each foster dog is isolated and in foster care for a minimum of two weeks. We do this to be sure that no one has anything contagious that can be passed along to any other dog. Every foster dog is taken to the vets for an examination. They are brought up to date on vaccinations according to age, wormed for parasites, heartworm tested and started on prevention. They are spayed/neutered and receive a dental cleaning as per our vet recommendation. Each are micro chipped for identification.
Every foster dog is evaluated for temperament. Once in their foster home, we can see how well they get along with other animals. Some do not do well in a home with children since they have never been exposed to them. We note this on their bios. We begin working with them on housetraining and paper training. Some will never understand this concept but we at least try.
Some of us have been rescuing dogs since the 1980's, taking in our first puppymill rescue in 1999. Our rescue started growing and we incorporated in October of 2000 as a
501c3 Not for Profit Organization.
Mission Statement
1. To rescue animals from situations that are abusive, endangering and
neglectful, which includes puppymills and backyard breeders;
2. To inform the public of these situations in order to put a stop to animal
abuse and irresponsible breeding;
3. To provide foster homes for these animals;
4. To provide necessary veterinary care;
5. To promote the importance of spaying/neutering;
6. To place rescued animals into permanent adoptive homes; and
7. Building and maintaining a shelter for rescued animals.
WolfSpirit’s will endeavor to maximize the percentage of its operating budget, which directly benefits rescued animals, including the spaying and neutering of these dogs.
Fundraising to support this will be achieved through solicitation and acceptance of contributions from individuals and other methods or events as the Board of Trustees of the Organization desire to utilize.
