MEET OUR PET
OF THE MONTH
MAYA
[Click here for
more Maya info here]
Say hello to Maya! She is a
1 1/2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. She weighs
around 60 pounds and is knee high. Her pictures do not do her
justice. She is very pretty and unique looking. She has brindle
markings on her eyebrows, chin, legs and chest. The rest of her
coat is black...which is why we believe she is mixed with Rottie
or Doberman. She lives with two children ages 12 and 5. Her
playmates are 2 male dogs. She would do great in a home with
another playful dog because that is one of her favorite things
to do. She plays gentler with her foster family's pug and
rougher with their lab because he is closer to her size. They
also have an older cat. Maya gives her a playful chase from time
to time but she just hisses at her and Maya lets her be. Maya is
completely crate trained. She does get nervous when unfamiliar
people get close to her while she's in her crate. She will bark
to warn them she is scared and feels intimidated. This is her
"safe" place which is not uncommon for dogs. Also, when her
foster family has big gatherings inside the home she gets
nervous. To keep her calm, her foster mom just moves her crate
to a quiet room not being used. She is housebroken. She loves
playing fetch, play time with friendly dogs, her chew toys and
bones, being shown love and affection and belly rubs. She is
truly a very loving pet with personality! If you would like to
meet Maya, please fill out an online adoption application at
www.CPRFund.com and then email her foster mom,
LisaC@cprfund.com, Maya is up to date on all vaccinations and
preventatives, heartworm negative, micro chipped and spayed. Her
adoption fee is $150.00.

Please Share Your
Heart and Home!
We can't do it without you!
CPR Fund
is seeking additional Foster Homes in the Lake/Porter County, IN area
to house foster dogs until they are adopted into loving homes.
CPR Fund will provide all the food, supplies and guidance needed, but
we need YOU to provide a safe, loving environment while these pets
wait for adoption. You will be asked to accept the
responsibility of transporting your foster to vet appointments in
Cedar Lake or Lowell and to either attend Adoption Days with
your foster or deliver your foster to another willing volunteer on
Adoption Days. If you wish, you can be involved in the adoption process, from screening potential adoptive parents to participating in
CPR activities!
Please
find it in your heart to help these furry friends find their forever
homes. Send in a
Foster Application today. A CPR volunteer will contact you
to answer any and all of your questions or
click here for more online information.

can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us
their all. It's the best deal man has ever made."

Confessions of a CPR
Foster Mom
Bet you didn't know I'm a
garbage picker? Yes, I enjoy finding something someone is throwing out so I
can bring it home and put a new coat of paint on it and make it mine. You
never know what kind of treasures you are going to find on garbage day? You
know that most of my treasures have been someone else's garbage.? A few of
them are a dog named Daisy, a cat named Frenchie. Someone threw them out like
garbage, and they have become my treasured friends and a part of my family. I
guess that's why I always cautiously drive by a cardboard box thrown to the
side of the road. Numerous times, it's been a cardboard box stuffed with
kittens that someone felt was garbage. I have taken animals out of dumpsters
where people felt it was necessary to discard the life of a helpless animal.
People refer to me as an "animal rescuer" but that term should actually be
coined " treasure finder", because I can always make someone else's trash into
someone else's treasure. With the help of CPR fund, I've found a lot of
treasures; the animals that were discarded, the people who adopt them, and the
other "treasure finders" like me, called CPR Fund foster parents!
