Rescue Haven Foundation

The FernDog Rescue Foundation’s founder and director, Fernando Camacho, has been working with animal rescue groups and shelters for his entire career as a dog behavior consultant and trainer. These dedicated groups typically rely solely on volunteers that work tirelessly trying to save as many animals as they possibly can. Unfortunately, these groups often lack the funding, time and resources to better accomplish their work.One of the things that hit Fernando the hardest was realizing that although the dogs staying at shelters were physically cared for, their mental health deteriorated daily. With each day a dog spends in an animal shelter, his chances for adoption decline due to the psychological effects of the typical shelter environment.It’s not the animal shelter’s fault – they do the best they can with what they have. The problem is that they have so little available to them to make any kind of change, and that’s why The FernDog Rescue Foundation was formed.The mission of The FernDog Rescue Foundation is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support and training to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness by providing community education of the issues surrounding animal rescue.We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Meet Nori

Quote from foster family: Nori is a gentle, sweet girl who fit right into her foster home. Her easy-going nature allows her to be completely content just being around her human, and canine companions. There’s not a demanding bone in her body – she’s truly a dog who is happy when simple, fundamental needs are being met – such as, love, kindness and care.Woof-Facts Name: Nori (her nickname for “Eleanor”) Breed: Mixed breed Weight: 43 lbs. Age: ≈8 years old Gender: Female Health: healthy and up to date on vaccines. Will be spayed prior to adoption. Some lumps and bumps which were biopsied and benign. Recently had a full dental cleaning. Hearing impaired (not fully deaf)More InfoForever home recommendations: Nori is looking for a forever family where her humans are home more often than not. A canine companion would be beneficial but is not a requirement. When found as a stray, Nori was emaciated with bumps and bruises on her body, and evidence of a fully healed fractured elbow, so given her challenging past, it’s understandable why she can get a bit anxious when left alone. She’s made a lot of progress with that while in her foster home, and despite her past, she’s so easy going and full of love. Nori is at her happiest when she has human companionship. And having a doggie companion would be like icing on the cake! Kids: Would be OK living in a home with children.Dogs: Dog friendly; she’d like a doggie friend to journey through life with, not necessarily to engage in active play.Cats: Has not yet been around cats; her demeanor enables us to think she’d be fine with a feline companion with the proper introductory process, so we can assess that further if you have a cat in the family.Crate trained: Yes. She prefers not to be crated and does well/is not destructive at all when left out of the crate, but she can be crated, if needed. House trained: 95% yesLeash manners: Good on a leash for the most part; she pulls occasionally and is working to further enhance her skills.Personality: Gentle, easy-going, quiet, human-and-canine lover. Prefers not to be alone for long periods of time. A bit of a sloppy eater, but that trait in her comes off as totally adorable! How did Nori find herself at Rescue Haven Foundation: Found as a stray, brought to a shelter, and rescued by RHFInterested in Nori, aka Eleanor?
