Mindy is looking for her forever home!




Mindy is looking for her forever home!

We don't have a guest blogger this week but we can't make Ms. Mindy wait another week with  being highlighted on our blog!
We would like to introduce you to sweet Mindy.  She is a 5 year old Terrier Mix.  When our volunteer saw her in the shelter she was shaking, panting, and seemed paralyzed in place with fear.  When we took her to the front desk to get her out of the shelter, we found out that her family's house had burned down and they couldn't keep her.  Little did we know that the shaking, panting, and fear would last for weeks.  Her foster family has worked very hard gaining Mindy's trust and slowly but surely, things have improved in a GREAT way!

At first, Mindy wouldn't walk across floors but would just stay put when she was placed somewhere.  It became very clear that her "comfort zone" was the outdoors and that she hadn't been an indoor dog before.  Every noise indoors scared her and made her tremble.  One day her foster mom watched her secretly in the family room and she started running and playing all around the room. That was the first day that Mindy really started to come out of her shell.  It has taken about a month for Mindy to even consider walking in the back door on her own.  She still will get timid when approached, but she so eagerly wants to be loved and LOVES to be loved on.  




Mindy will make a wonderful addition to an understanding family and she is a FABULOUS, happy, little girl.

FOR is also introducing a new  Love FOR Seniors program with coordinator Kim Stell.  The   purpose is to give healing, fostering, and adopting to seniors abandoned at high kill shelters in North Alabama.  Right now looking for a host and sponsorship for this female shih tzu. 

Will you help sponsor me?  Or foster me?
We suspect she is blind and deaf. FOR wants to put her in our program, cover all vet bills, and see her thru to a FORever home. Please share! Watch her video! And email Info@FORrescue.net
