*** Please be patient, we are a very small organization and we all sadly have to work and have families just like you. We also know the excitement of finding a pet that could be your furever family member and we receive numerous inquiries
from other families who feel the same way. Our primary goal is matching the perfect family with our pups and do not practice first come, first serve". We are setting up many meet and greets with our pups and the family could be found prior to you even getting to meet them. We will make sure all potential adopters who inquired are updated if the pup has been adopted. We do not want to waste anyone's time and recommend you keep looking while you wait to hear from us and as always Thank You for adopting and not shopping. ***
Adoption applications will be sent via email only, we do not have them posted online anywhere or on a website. Please visit us on our Facebook page for more information and photos of our adoptable pup by using our link Web: www.facebook.com/TheFirstStepRescue

I came in as a stray - With no place to go - I will go to a place - They call my foster home.

My name is Ida Mae and I am a 2 1/2 year old female Lab mix. I came into a shelter with a broken back and no one has any idea how it happened either. I didn't have a chance at the shelter so I came to rescue and went to my foster home. With all the love and care, I have completely healed and I require no further treatments. I am a small girl weighing only 35lbs and I am a young girl. I get along great with children but I will be placed in an adult home or with a family with adult children. Sadly with my back I can not have youngsters crawling or climbing on me. I also get along with other dogs but again I would like to be the only furbaby in the home, I can not really rough house with another dog esp my size or larger but maybe if your furbaby is very low keyed and small there may be a possibility. I really should "not" have a lot of stairs to tackle, no stairs would be ideal but we know many homes have stairs, we will ask the vet to see how many I can handle on a daily basis.
I would love to be the tennis ball/frisbee pup but sadly I can not do those things anymore so I will settle for those nice long walks and even stopping to look at the wildlife, almost like I am pointing.. or even trotting around my yard instead, as long as I have a family I will be happy.
I am crate trained but I still need to be watched with housebreaking and with a little more time, love and training I will be the diamond I am destined to be.
I just love to be loved and love to love back, if you pet me I will be a velcro dog and never leave your side. I am looking for my furever home do you know where it is?
