A portion of the proceeds will go to Fluffy Dog Rescue.

Hi, I'm Bailey the Original Fluffy Dog and I came from Blount County, AL. They say I was rescued, but I am not sure what that means. I know I was lost as a pup and some nice older couple took me in for a month. When I started to grow into a big beautiful teenage girl, I was not the poodle they thought I would be so they took me to a shelter. They were very nice to me, but something was still missing. I think they call it a family. I waited and waited, until they said they could not wait any longer and they had to make room for others. What did that mean? I am happy to share my floor with others. Anyway, they then told me that at the last minute a lady from WI called and she wanted to love me furever. That was ok, as my coat is really thick, and the cold is good for me. The photo you see is when I got to Wisconsin. I was really happy. Well, a year later I have grown even more and am about 75 pounds. I love it here with my new family. I have so much to tell you and photos to share. Please keep watching for my updates and I will even tell you about my brother Baxter, who had the same bad luck I did, until my mommy saved him too! WHO WE ARE Fluffy Dog Rescue was founded by one woman who had a desire to save a few dogs lives if she could. We have evolved into a trio of women and an extended group of foster homes and we continue the dream of saving lives that would otherwise be lost to no fault of their own. We have full time jobs with families, but we dedicate as much time as possible to fulfilling our collective dream. We rescue most of our dogs from urgent situations involving high kill shelters within the surrounding states. Our focus is medium to large, wonderfully "Fluffy Dogs". OUR LOCATION We do not have a shelter. All of our dogs are placed in loving foster homes while they wait for their furever families to come and get them. This is a typical scene from one of our transports and why we do what we do! Click Here for Great Information on Dog Care, Training and Health.

We are limited to saving as many lives as we have foster homes. Fostering is great way to see if you would like a dog, or if a particular dog is for you. Fostering is simply a matter of opening your home and heart as a temporary home for a dog until its permanent furever home can be found. We will provide you with all the supplies you need and pay for the vetting. There is no cost to you. If you are interested in learning more, please send an email to us at bdavies@wi.rr.com.

WHERE I AM FROM:AL MY STORY: Dean is a sweetheart of a dog. He weighs about 33 pounds as of mid-November and probably won't get a lot bigger. His coat is not rough, rather silky. He uniquely has a blue right eye. Dean is crate trained. He can go overnight for 8-9 hours. Dean is quite timid. He needs time to warm up to new people and new situations. We have been exposing him to as many new situations as possible... riding in cars, going to school on the weekends, running with a bike for his exercise ... He's still a bit scared when a few cars 'roar' by, but all in all, he's doing very well. He is a cuddler and will climb in your lap if he is allowed. He's fine with being groomed and having his nails trimmed. He'll be a wonderful addition to your home. He just needs a little patience.He does shed and is not hypoallergenic. THINK YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT? Prior to adopting, be sure to ask yourself a few questions: Am I knowledgeable about the breed I am interested in? Am I ready to commit to taking care of this dog (emotionally, financially) for the remainder of its life which could be 12+ years? Will I accept the fact that all dogs shed, they drool water and food, they chew, and accidents will happen? Are all members of your family ready to take on the responsibility of a dog? OUR ADOPTION PROCESS Please read this in its entirety before submitting an application. NOTE: You must be 21 years of age or older and live in WI or IL to adopt. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of six. This must be adheared to, as it is written in our insurance policy. Please submit an application which can be found below. We ask that you be respectful of our time and only apply if you are ready to adopt and have discussed this with all family members. Return the application to the email address listed within the profile of the dog of interest. Please indicate which dog you are interested in. We will do an initial reference check with your current veterinarian to ensure your current or past pets have been spayed/neutered, and kept up to date on all shots and heartworm preventative. We will schedule a home visit at your home. All members of the family need to be present during the meeting. We typically will not bring the dog that is up for adoption. The purpose of the home visit is to discuss your needs and the needs of the dog or dogs that you are interested in. We will educate you on proper care and training of your dog and answer your questions. If all of the above goes well, we will put you in touch with the dog's foster mom so you may set a time to meet your Fluffy Dog. We provide every potential adopter with information on the "Facts about Dog Food". No rawhide bones and always the best grade food. We recommend Taste of the Wild and other natural, high protein foods. Click here for a pdf version of our Adoption Application! Click here for a word version of our Adoption Application!

The answer is that things are just horrible down there and the only hope for these dogs is rescues like ours. We work with shelters with 500 dogs that put down 100 per week. We have dogs that have lost their legs due to probably being hit by cars and have been told that no one down there would rescue them like that. It does get expensive, but I have not yet been able to determine the value of a life. We currently have a dog that has BB's in his heart from being shot. The vet said that if they were trying to scare him, they would have shot him in the back end. They were trying to kill him. Most of our dogs were strays that were picked up by the dog warden and placed in a shelter that will give them seven days. That is not real long when you are in a rural area that gets three adoptions a week and there are 160 dogs. I only wish that we could do more. For the dogs that we can save it makes all the difference. We have so many Adoption Happy Tails Some say people come into your life for a reason. The same can be said about dogs. Rags, now named Franklin, is one such dog who entered Jeff’s life. A three-legged fluffy, Franklin (or Frank as he’s better known) has already made his mark on his new family. Jeff, a lifetime dog lover, and his partner lost their 16-year-old dog Coty in November 2008. Both were feeling lonely, as was their 11-year-old dog Luna. Jeff connected with Fluffy Dog Rescue through Petfinder.com, went to the rescue’s website and saw a picture of Rags “in a cage looking completely forlorn, sad and totally matted. I also read that he had just lost a leg. I knew he needed us,” Jeff says. And it was official on February 20, 2009. It was love even before the very first meeting. Jeff says Frank’s foster family, the Shroedls, sent several photos of their foster and notes that Frank was amazing. “When we met him, that just sealed the deal,” he says. Although Luna wasn’t happy about the new addition, the dogs were able to be acclimated. Frank is unbelievably gentle and waved off Luna‘s aggression like it was nothing. “It took about a month of having them separated by gates, but now they act like they’ve been together forever,” Jeff says, after Luna “eventually believed he was harmless and ‘let‘ him live with us.” Such a change from an older dog who could’ve eaten the new little one! While Luna plays the best pal and sister, Jeff plays doting and watchful Dad. He says he worries about Frank and tends to be overprotective on walks: The how, when, where of the walk all are on his mind. “With a four-legged dog, an injured paw is an inconvenience, but not a huge deal. But with a three-legged dog, if he injures one of these three legs, he really can’t walk,” Jeff states. Franklin was a recent amputee of just two months when his family adopted him. The pup was found with a nylon rope around his rear leg that had been there for about three weeks. His leg was badly infected and needed to be removed. Despite being a little different from the rest of the dogs at the park, Jeff notes that Frank “is an incredible lesson about resilience. His ability to manage himself on three legs, to trust us so completely and immediately, and to engage every single person on the street” is a testament to his whole personality and outlook. Just like a snuggly blanket, Jeff also says those Franklin meets want to pet him, and people comment on his super soft coat. And just as Jeff dotes on his pup, Frank has a special attachment as well. “Though I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve not ever had a dog who is so completely and thoroughly attached to me. Even in his sleep, if I get up to leave the room, he knows and follows me.” Along with adoration and love come charming and funny stories. Besides his appearance and looking like a Muppet, as Jeff’s partner suggests, Frank also uses his natural herding instinct to stir up some fun. When Jeff goes to bed, Frank follows, laying at the head of the bed, on the pillows where Jeff’s partner would sleep. “When my partner comes to bed, Franklin tries to herd him off the bed, butting him with his head and gently pulling his arm away from the pillows. Frank won’t be displaced,” his loving owner grins. Click Here For Our Happy Tails
