Dalis to the Rescue is a wonderful rescue in Alma, Mi. Davis, her hubby and daughters, staff, supporters, volunteers, and friends come together to rescue thousands of animals each year. Dalis has even added spay and neuter clinics in her own rescue to help solve so many unwanted animals being born as well as using vets in the surrounding area.
The Pawsitive Prison Dog program has helped train many dogs that has not only helped the dogs but also the prisoners. The rescue is always full to the brim and the animals are well taken care of. Dalis has her "Naughty Crew" that she hauls around in a bus. These are dogs that no one wanted. Some even have to be carried because they have difficulty walking. She takes them into schools to educate kids on spaying and neutering and properly taking care of animals. On top of that Dalis grooms dogs. Also want to mention her dedicated foster families. Always ready to help. I could go on and on.
This IS the best rescue in Mi. and the U.S!Debbie Hettler
Furkid is a foster network rescue meaning all of our rescues are temporary members of our families. Our fosters can give you insight into the personality and needs of our FurKids because they are in our homes, versus you meeting them in a stressful environment where they haven't had a chance to let their fur down and their true personalities shine through.
We officially started in 2008 rescuing Pit Bulls because they needed to be rescued the most. However over the years with the increase in puppy mills and backyard breeders, we have become an all-breed rescue because we want to save all dogs. We don't discriminate. We take dogs that other rescues won't. We have rescued and rehabilitated pups starved from the brink of death, pups with parvo who were given almost no chance, dogs who have been shot, dogs with disabilities or mange that are deemed undesirable, or not worth saving. We rescue elderly dogs left on chains for the majority of their years, puppies with minutes to spare before being euthanized for no reason other than no one is paying attention. We love and rescue them all.
Please understand that we do not have a physical location. We try to give our animals the best foster experience possible, not only for their comfort, but to implement positive reinforcement training methods and to make sure they are getting the best care imaginable.
We work on a volunteer basis and this rescue work takes time away from our families, friends, and pets. Our strength to continue rescuing animals comes from finding one of our adoptable dogs a forever home where they will be loved, cherished and treated as a member of the family. It is those moments that make our hearts full and give us the drive to continue.
Mission and Vision
FurKid Rescue seeks to help animals go from life-threatening situations to homes where they will be given the love and care they deserve. Upon rescue, we commit to the full care and training of an animal until we are able to place them in an exceptional home. We hope that through training and responsible ownership we are able to educate people about rescue dogs as a whole. We are passionate about spaying and neutering and promote the procedure at every opportunity, not only as a preventative health measure, but also to eliminate the overpopulation problem.
Adoption Policy
Thank you for considering adoption over buying from a breeder. In doing so, you are taking a stand against the overbreeding and overpopulation problem that currently exists. We believe in quality placements over quantity and once we rescue a dog we're committed to finding the best forever home. We are NOT ashamed of being choosy! You should expect at least a 10-year commitment (excluding seniors).You are willing to work through a transitional adjustment period that may last a few months or longer.If minor to extreme behavioral issues arise, you will take steps to try to work through them with positive reinforcement by either taking a class or working with an in home behavior consultant before giving up on your dog.If you adopt a puppy you will need to take a FurKid approved puppy class in your area.You will commit to routine and preventative vet care, emergency vet care, feeding and expenses. Emergency vet care is not inexpensive, and you need to have the financial resource to care for a FurKid especially one with special needs.
