Hi! My name is Maya. I spent the first 6 years of my life raising puppies in Missouri, but I left that life behind and moved to Minnesota a few weeks ago. I truly love learning about being a regular doggo without endless parenting responsibilities! Cuddling up next to my foster mom reading books is amazing. Cuddling up on her lap and watching television is great too. Cuddling up on the chair with her while she’s working on the computer is the absolute best! Hmmm, perhaps I’m developing a cuddle addiction? In my former life I didn’t get out much, so pretty much everything in the world seems big and scary, but my foster mom says I’m learning more every day. Having foster siblings who are teaching me how to be a regular doggo is helping a lot with my nerves. I discovered these things called “toys” a few days ago—AMAZING! Stuffies are so fun! The noisy squeakers are scary, however, so I’m very careful to avoid squeaking them. I really love other dogs, and my cat foster sister is cool as well, but people are still pretty scary. I’m hoping my new family has at least one other brave doggo that I can follow and learn from. My new family also needs to be calm, quiet and patient with me as I learn about the world. I’ve got a wonderful disposition, but at this point children move way too fast for my delicate nerves. I’m still figuring out this “housebreaking” concept, but I’m told that I’m getting better with that. For now, I need a fenced yard as I haven’t fully bought into the whole leash idea. I’m sure I will figure it all out with time, however. Will you be my special cuddle buddy for life?

Our adoption process begins with the application. After you send in the application it is forwarded to that pups foster family. They review it and set up a time that works for both parties to meet the pup. Once you have met the pup, you can decide whether you'd like to adopt pup or not. The foster also decides whether they feel you would be a good fit for the pup. If everyone is in agreement, we can move forward with the adoption process. When you move forward, you will be sent a text message from Shelterluv to the phone number you provided on your application. This text message has the adoption contract that you sign and the payment link. If you are planning to do a same day meet and adoption, payment and contract need to be completed before taking pup. Otherwise you can set up a pick up time with the foster to pick up your pup. After the pup is adopted, you will receive medical records within 2 weeks. We also have a spay/neuter agreement in the adoption contract. It states that you agree to have your pup sterilized (or scheduled) by 30 days after the 6 month mark, or if pup is older then 6 months, 30 days after adoption. If you choose to get your pup sterilized through us, we contact you closer to the 6 month point, and we put in a request with our vet partners (Golden Valley Animal Hospital or St. Paul Animal Hospital). We will reach out at that time and email you a list of information we will need for the request. If done through us, we cover the cost of sterilization. If you choose to use your own vet, you would send proof of sterilization and we will reimburse $100.

More about this rescue
Our Mission is to love animals. We will take on healthy and sick* animals and try to nurse them back to health. We will do our best to research and keep up with the vet approved method of taking the best care of animals through the help of our vet partners. We will, also, work to help turn any dog, that has the right temperament, into a therapy dog to help children and adults with mental illness. We will work around the clock to take animals out of dangerous situations and put them into loving homes.
