My story

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

Sarah

Meet Bette! This little nugget is a true gem!! Bette is a chihuahua mix about 3 years old. Her little white chinny-chin-chin isn’t due to age, just more her color pattern as she has other white speckles also and some white toes! She’s about 15lb but slightly chubby. With proper diet and exercise she will slim down and be a tad smaller. Bette came to rescue from Pine Ridge Reservation in Nebraska where most dogs are living on the streets, but Bette is very well adjusted to home life and we believe she must have been living in a home prior to being out on her own. Bette is VERY low maintenance and easy going! She’s fostered with other dogs and kids but doesn’t seek them out (although the kids seek HER out and she’s ok with that too). Bette prefers to toodle around the home following the adults room to room, and if you sit or lay down she will quickly join you to cuddle up. Otherwise, Bette can be found laying near her people or napping in a dog bed. She’s not barky or bitey (some chihuahuas get a bad rap for these things), and she’s OK being picked up but doesn’t need to be and doesn’t ask to be. She doesn’t beg for attention, but likes attention. She is house trained on a schedule and has no problem heading outside. She’s kennels quietly as well. When I say Bette is an EASY going girl, I mean it!! Bette would be an excellent companion for a low key home, even a senior home! She provides confident and calm companionship and settles right in. She travels well in the car and could fit under the seat of an airplane too if needed. A snowbird home would work for her too! If you’re looking for a quiet little companion to compliment your chill lifestyle, look no further! Bette can’t wait to meet you! She’s fully vetted and ready for her forever home!

If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please submit an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about The Rescue Crew adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our Adoption Process page on our official website.

All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.

The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Application prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online adoption application here as well. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown.

Additional adoption info

We want to be sure that the adoption process is as smooth and positive an experience as possible. Our animals are in foster homes and we do everything we can to learn as much about their likes and dislikes, temperament and activity level as we can while in our care. By doing so, it enables us to work more closely with a potential adopter to help ensure a "good fit." The adoption process might take a bit longer than adopting from a shelter, but our ultimate goal is finding a match that benefits not just the animal, but also the family interested in adopting.

We are looking to let our adopters chose the speed of the adoption process. To start the process, we require that an adoption application be completed. Once submitted, we will connect with you to discuss the type of animal you're looking for, your lifestyle and home environment, and what the best fit may be. At times, we may request to conduct a home visit, which can often be done in tandem with what we refer to a "meet and greet" where you have the opportunity to meet and interact with the animal(s) you're interested in adopting. Ad part of our process we conduct background check on all applicants, will check personal and vet references also. Our goal is always the proper placement for any adopted animal, which may mean that the animal you originally are interested in may turn out to not be the best fit, but we will work with you to find a better match. Adoption fees include spaying/neutering of all animals, age appropriate vaccinations ad microchipping and range anywhere from $80-$175 for cats and $200-$450 for dogs.

Prior to finalizing adoptions we require a signed Contract & Agreement which includes an understanding that if for any reason the animal does not work out that you will return them back to The Rescue Crew.

As all of our animals are in private foster homes, we do not have a facility where adoptable animals can be met. However, we do host adoption events occasional throughout the Twin Cities metro area, and those will be posted both on our website and Facebook pages.

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Minnesota-based animal rescue organization which strives to prevent the unnecessary euthanasia of companion animals by finding them loving forever homes. The Rescue Crew was established specifically to fill a need in the local Twin Cities metro area to help shelter animals facing imminent risk of euthanasia without rescue support.

OUR MISSION: We are here to help save the lives of companion animals in need. Those who are homeless; the abused or abandoned; the neglected and unloved, and to show them human compassion and kindness, ultimately helping them become valued family members in a loving home.

OUR VISION: We envision the day where every adoptable animal has the opportunity of finding a responsible, loving home. A world where pets are no longer mistreated, abused or abandoned.
