My Fairy Dawg Mother Rescue

First — getting a dog should never be an impulse decision. However, sometimes you just have to go with your gut, and my gut told me getting a dog from My Fairy Dawg Mother was the right decision. This is a long one, so stick with me here…
I happened to be on Facebook one afternoon after having a suddenly clear schedule, and boom! This ADORABLE little face popped up in my feed. I felt like the Grinch, my heart swelling up to three times its normal size. I wanted, no, NEEDED this puppy. I don’t know what I was thinking. I had a senior cat, 2 other dogs, was recovering from a severe injury, and was also a full time graduate student in Boulder. Yeah. But that FACE. It spoke to me.
After discussing it with my husband, we decided it would be worth making the effort to add to our family. We contacted MFDM, and put in our application. Sadly, the little face we fell in love with went to a family that same day.
We were CRUSHED. Lets recap: Thursday — no interest in getting a new dog. Friday — fall in love with dog. Saturday — learn dog is not available. Be sad. Sad sad sad.
Sunday morning, we were still sad… and then my phone rang. It was the Fairy Dawg Mother herself!!! She was calling to let me know that the little face I fell in love with was being returned to his foster home, because he wasn’t a fit for the family that wanted him originally. My husband and I were OVERJOYED. This wasn’t a simple «ok, lets go see him» — we KNEW he was meant to be ours. We drove to the foster’s home that afternoon, and welcomed our new handsome boy into our lives.
Now — it’s easy enough to say that it’s a great story to meet the dog we love. But even better, here is what made it worth adopting from MFDM:
1. The focus is on finding the RIGHT home for the dog. When my boy’s potential parents decided he wasn’t the right fit, MFDM took him back ASAP.
2. Foster care, not shelter care. The dogs brought under the MFDM umbrella are immediately cared for in homes, given training, and integration into a pack. This is good, because that means they don’t suffer any more. Many of the dogs are rescued from high stress/​high kill shelters. It’s a lot of work to go from that environment to a house/​family setting.
3. The rescue is small and personalized. No large corporate style structure here, where checkboxes and numbers are the primary motivation. They are all about the dogs.
4. Small, but professional. Each dog is microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed/​neutered, and all pet parents are advised about responsible pet ownership.
When you adopt from MFDM, you become a part of their family, whether you want to or not! They are here for the dogs, first and foremost. Isn’t that the kind of people you want in your, and your pets, corner? I sure do.
Give them a call today, and you just might find your new best friend.

After losing our oldest furbaby we decided we wanted to foster but had no idea where to start. We began working with another rescue in the Denver area and ultimately were disappointed with their lack of care and responsibility for the dogs they were adopting out. Bummed out, we decided to stop fostering for a while and luckily for us this is when we found Nikki and My Fairy Dawg Mother (MFDM)! After submitting our foster application Nikki called me that day and I instantly felt like we were old friends. She answered all of the questions I had (which were a ton) and was very understanding of my reluctance because of our previous experience.
When we got our first foster pup Nikki provided us with everything we needed and even checked in with us periodically to make sure we were all settling in well. She was also available any time I had questions or concerns about the process. We now have fostered and placed 8 dogs with MFDM and our experience has never changed. I can say all my fears were put to rest with MFDM because they care immensely for each dog and foster that comes into their rescue. I am so proud to be part of an organization that cares about saving lives as well is informing their community of the plight of rescue dogs.
One day, when we are able to adopt again My Fairy Dawg Mother will be our only choice.

My Fairy Dawg Mother is organized and professional. Fostering for them has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I am so grateful for their communication and support throughout the process. They truly have a passion for what they do and it’s so refreshing to see!

I found my precious dog at My Fairy Dawg Mother in May of 2013. What an amazing rescue! Nikki and the people who fostered my dog were kind, informative, and quick to respond with any questions I had. This rescue is committed to finding the right home for each dog and truly puts the welfare of dogs and adopters first.

We got a doxie from this organization last spring. They were great to deal with. We found the perfect dog for our family situation.

If you can, please consider supporting this local non-​profit. Maybe you can adopt a dog or foster one temporarily. MFDM will cover part or all of the cost of care of fostered animals.

Check out their website and follow them on Facebook to learn more about how you can help support this great cause.

Once we found out about My Fairy Dawg Mother we knew it would just be a matter of time until we would find our new family member. Nikki was patient in helping us to find the right fit for our family. Within less than 48 hours of meeting the sweetest little black lab mix, Lexi, we welcomed her into our home. Lexi’s foster mom, Chelsea, made meeting her and bringing her home very easy by completely working around our schedule. Lexi Loo has been quite the blessing for us and I thank her daily for making the difficult journey into our lives. We are grateful to My Fairy Dawg Mother for bringing us together.
