My story

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

Millie is a happy girl who loves human attention! She is a good girl who is working on her manners. She loves to walk and sniff and smell. She is a little too interested in cats, although is learning LEAVE IT and doing quite well. She was sometimes dog-reactive in one foster home, but has had no issues in two others. She would be great in a one-dog home but to live with another dog would require a meet and greet with that dog and experienced dog owners who could recognize potential issues before escalation. We are continuing to dog test her with different sizes and genders to learn more about her. It is our policy to reveal all we know! Millie found herself pregnant and homeless last year. She had beautiful puppies and cared for them very well. She had heartworm disease but has been treated & requires no further restrictions.  Because we are foster based, we require an approved adoption application before a meet and greet can be scheduled. We feel that is fair to the foster and Millie so every meet and greet has the potential to result in an immediate adoption. The application is available on the rescue website and can be completed online. 



We work with many rescues and strive to find every rescue in our care a great home. Sometimes that means transferring that pet to another location where adoption may be more likely. 

If you are interesting in meeting any of our pets, the process is to complete an application.  It can be downloaded as a pdf document from our website and submitted by email to WindyRidgeRescue@gmail.com  as a scanned document or as photos OR can be completed entirely online. Both links are in the header of our website.  

Because we are foster based, we require an approved application to schedule a meet and greet. We feel that is fair to our fosters and rescues so every meet and greet can result in an adoption. 

​Adoption fees are negotiable but our goal is to break even on a pet's medical expenses, although we know that will be the exception and not the case most of the time. Average adoption fees in the area range from $175 up to $450. 

​As with every rescue, our resources are limited and the need for rescue help is unlimited. Your generosity helps us to rescue more.  

​Adopting or fostering for a rescue frees up a space where a new rescue can reside. 

​If you can't adopt or foster, than please consider donating

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters complete an adoption application and all animals in the household attend a meet & greet once vet references and a home visit is complete. Fees are negotiable, but a non-refundable donation is required. Follow ups and access to a dog behaviorist/trainer is encouraged. A finalized adoption contract is required. Our rescue is an all volunteer organization and many of our volunteers are employed full time elsewhere. Please be patient for someone to contact you or return your call. Thank you.

More about this rescue

We are a group of people dedicated to saving animals in our community from being euthanized in shelters, living as strays, or ending up in abusive situations. We pool our resources and connections together with donations from our supporters to relocate the unwanted to areas of our great country where their fates are full of love and admiration and families of their own. We do adopt locally, although without a facility, we rely on fosters and our fosters appreciate knowing exactly when their guests will be leaving.

We also assist families and the community with Trap, Neuter, Return efforts and team up with pet parents and rescue partners whenever it makes sense to save and help more animals in need. We are always looking for short term fosters and drivers and of course, donors!
