Meet Enola

If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  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 our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.org.Hello future family! My name is Enola but my foster mom calls me Lakota. Enola is alone backwards because thats exactly what I was when I came into rescue but since I am no longer alone they wanted something a little happier and Lakota means found! And thats what I am, I am found! I have found my trust in people and other dogs. I have found my playful, loving personality, I have found that I REALLY love having a full belly and all the treats that a girl could ask for. I have also found some of the missing hair from when I had mange!Since coming to my foster home I have learned a few basic commands like sit, no, and to come when called. I have never gone to the bathroom in the house and I am working real hard on crate training. I am not a huge fan of being kenneled and sometimes need a reminder at night that its time to sleep but once I get that reminder I settle in for the night and do not make a sound until the next morning when its time to eat! Oh how I love to eat! My foster mom has been feeding me with a slow feeder bowl and snuffle mat to help me slow down, otherwise I just gobble up my meals as fast as I can and then dont feel great afterwards. Bonus the snuffle mat helps with some of my energy making me sniff and root around for my food. There are 2 other dogs in my foster home and I love to play with them! We run around the back yard and wrestle. We sit and try to learn tricks together for treats. We have even had pajama parties! There are these animals in the back yard called chickens and boy oh boy they look like a fun time. My foster mom wont let me by them though and I am learning impulse control around them. She thinks that small critters including cats might be a bit much for me at the moment but maybe one day when I have slowed down a little. I do have some energy that my foster mom thinks that either a nice long walk, Playing with balls in the back yard (I am learning to bring them back to have them thrown again! IT IS SO FUN!) or a trip to the dog park will take care of. Once I get some exercise I am so happy to go in the house grab a bone or toy to chew on and veg out. I have been learning what is mine to play with and what is a "leave it". I have been wearing these stylish jammies to help my skin heal and boy oh boy it is really helping! I will still need time for my fur to grow back but my mange is gone and now its just a waiting game! When I was found I had a chain embedded in my neck that they had to surgically remove. That is all healed up now and even after all I have been through I am still one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet. I have not met anyone that I do not like and am always so happy to make a new friend! There is this little human in my home and I love to snuggle with her!While I do still have a little more healing before I can be fully vetting, my foster mom thinks that I should be ready for my new furever home in less than a month! So if you are interested in learning more about me or meeting me fill out an application! Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. 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.

Adoption Process
Adoption applications must be completed, which include information regarding references and vet clinic information, DL #, names, etc. Reference checks are conducted and when necessary vetting information verified. Discussion about the animal interested in to best assure appropriate and proper placement is made, and educational information regarding how to manage a multi-dog/animal household, slow and proper introductions and the importance of a shut-down period to help the animal acclimate to new surroundings. A "meet and greet" with the animal is required and whenever possible all residents of the household should be present. Home checks may, but not always, be necessary. After adoption applications is approved a contract is required, where we also stipulate that if for any reason the adopter determines they no longer want or can care for the animal we require it be returned to us, with the exception of documented bite history or potentially dangerous or dangerous dog designations. Adoption fees vary, but are comparable to or less than other local rescues and typically are $300 or less for a canine and $150 for a feline.
