How long have you been volunteering with our rescue?

We'd started thinking about adopting a dog, and we heard about MPBR through friends.  Fostering was a great start for us, and it led to us adopting three dogs ourselves.

How long have you been volunteering with Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue?

7 years (fall of 2012)

Phoebe

Do you have any pets?

Two two-legged daughters (Olivia, 15 and Juliette, 11), one four-legged granddog (MPBR alum Phoebe, 9), and two cats (Turbo and Pancake the Tiny Terrorist) 

Where is your favorite dog friendly place to take your doggo?

Runnings! And anywhere that we're camping.

When not surrounded by dogs – what can you be found doing?

Enjoying time with my daughters, going to concerts, and working on the yard.

Do you have a favorite memory with one of your fosters? 

​Our second foster was a tiny pup named Felix.  He was with us over Christmas 2012, so we brought him to our family Christmas in Iowa.  The other three dogs in our family were all 50 lbs+, so he was definitely the odd man out.  He jumped right into playing with them until they got all riled up, and then he dashed under the couch and continued to execute sneak attacks on the big dogs as they passed by.

Each month one of our foster pawrents receives a gift card as a thank you.This is our small way of showing appreciation for the dedication our volunteers have to this rescue. Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue is 100% volunteer based- no shelters here! Each dog we are able to save is because a foster is willing to open their home for us
