My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Heeler traits: independent, loyal/devoted, affectionate, strong work ethic

Ivy was left behind at an apt complex and true to her breed, she was loyal enough to stay on the grounds for weeks evading capture. DJ Allen, the dog whisperer, came in and soothed her enough to loop her and stop her running.
We were blessed to find a loving foster to allow her to decompress and now we can see how lovely a dog she is.
She loves car rides, did well at the vet, was stoic while getting a public bath, and loves her little treat bites. Ivy is in a house with 2 adults, 2 children and 4 other dogs. Foster says she can usually be found in a quiet space or outside enjoying the sunshine. Rarely is there interaction with the other dogs, so Ivy would be great as an only dog. She would make a wonderful running or walking partner.
Ivy is a tiny 43 lbs, thought to be around 3 years old, and is a quiet little girl. She has two eye colors, believed by Native Americans to see heaven and earth.
She still needs to get spayed but get applications in as she will not last long.

Additional adoption info

I am not into rescue to have the largest turnaround of dogs. I am into rescue to take a battered and dejected dog off the streets. To get it healthy and confident in order to make a loving and permanent placement. A human-dog love connection!

More about this rescue

I am an animal lover but specifically a dog lover. I have picked up stray dogs for many years so forming a rescue was inevitable. No One's Dog Rescue is devoted to saving street dogs, one dog at a time. This includes good nutrition for vital health and training for an amendable dog. Part of my mission is to connect the right dog with the right person so there is much discussion with adopter on specific wants vs needs. I also advocate and support raw feeding and natural rearing protocols. As a nutritionist myself I know first hand the power of good food irregardless of species. I rescue because the need is so great and hope to set an example of compassion and responsibility by my actions.
