Enlightened Canines! Rehabilitation & Rescue (ECRR) was founded in March 2009 by Angela Morin. Angela has volunteered with several rescue organizations and also operates a private rescue of her own before starting ECRR. She realized that so many dogs were losing their opportunity to find wonderful homes, as most rescue organizations were not equipped to rehabilitate ggressive, shy or fearful dogs. Angela has apprenticed a Master Trainer/Behaviorist for over a year and has an understanding of dog psychology and how to apply it to these rejected dogs and make for a balanced canine. She is also a certified Dog Trainer with Animal Behavior College and has used her knowledge to help many untrained dogs make for a better human-dog relationship! No one here at Enlightened Canines! Rescue & Rehabilitation is paid to rescue these dogs. We do it out of the love in our hearts! Please be mindful and realize that we all also work a 40 hour a week job. We frequently go to shelters, owner surrenders homes and use our free time and money away from our families driving all over to rescue these dogs. Please be patient with us, if we do not return your phone calls or emails right away!
What makes ECRR unique as a rescue?
We personally train and work with every dog that comes into our rescue. We want to make sure that our adopters get the perfect dog. This increases the dogs chance of keeping their homes for their life! We also take an extra step in training the new owners! This way we feel more confident and secure knowing that the adopted dog will live a fulfilled and balanced life! We will never place a dog with a family or person we feel will not provide a good home for a specific dog. Yes, we are picky! Our heart and souls goes in to every dog that comes into our rescue and we take pride in selecting the right fit for that rescue dog! They deserve it!
ECRR does not have a facility/kennel in which the rescue dogs are housed! We are foster based and only take in dogs when we have available space.
