5.13.20 Featured Foster of the Month- Meet Noelle

APRIL 2020 FOSTER OF THE MONTH-

Meet Noelle!

Why did you start fostering for MPBR?

We found our family member Millie (FKA Nikki) through MPBR and we fell in love with her and the rescue. We are passionate about changing the stigma around pit bulls and want to help other great dogs find their forever families!

Wrangler

Who was your first foster?

Wrangler AKA Zues who is now known as Scully. 

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

Only a couple months! We are so thrilled to have the space and ability to open our home to those who need it.

When your friends/family find out you volunteer with MPBR, what do they say or ask?

They usually say, "wow, Millie is so friendly and loves people and other animals. I didn't know pit bulls were like that."

Wells *application pending*

Who is your current foster?

Wells. 

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

Seeing our first foster grow and change so much was amazing. It was way harder and sadder to have him leave than we thought it would be, but it was so fulfilling to see him find his forever home and to see how excited they were to have him.

Millie

Do you have any pets?

Just Millie, but she loves having foster siblings.

When you're not surrounded by dogs, what can you be found doing? 

Pre-COVID, often at a brewery or local restaurant. We are homebodies, though, and like to hang with our pup while watching Netflix.

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

Our parents' house and lake cabins.

Do you have a special ritual you do for your foster pups? 

Not yet, besides a celebratory/mourning adult beverage (or two) and lots of extra cuddles and attention for Millie.

Each month one of our Foster parents will receive 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. Each dog we are able to save is a result of someone willing to open their home for us.
