Rescue Haven Foundation

The FernDog Rescue Foundation’s founder and director, Fernando Camacho, has been working with animal rescue groups and shelters for his entire career as a dog behavior consultant and trainer. These dedicated groups typically rely solely on volunteers that work tirelessly trying to save as many animals as they possibly can. Unfortunately, these groups often lack the funding, time and resources to better accomplish their work.One of the things that hit Fernando the hardest was realizing that although the dogs staying at shelters were physically cared for, their mental health deteriorated daily. With each day a dog spends in an animal shelter, his chances for adoption decline due to the psychological effects of the typical shelter environment.It’s not the animal shelter’s fault – they do the best they can with what they have. The problem is that they have so little available to them to make any kind of change, and that’s why The FernDog Rescue Foundation was formed.The mission of The FernDog Rescue Foundation is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support and training to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness by providing community education of the issues surrounding animal rescue.We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Meet Louie

Louie - "Easy Lover"Quote from foster dad: Louie is a fairly low-key boy. We enjoy chilling out together, whether we are watching TV or I’m working on the computer. Louie follows me around the house simply because he loves me. (OK, maybe he wants some treats and belly rubs too)! Winning Louie’s love was an easy thing!”Woof-Facts: Name: Louie Breed: Mixed breed Weight: 60 lbs. Age: 6-7 years Gender: Male Health: In good health. Slightly hearing impaired, which enables him to sleep really good since he doesn’t necessarily hear the slight noises from the neighborhood. Had a mass cell tumor removed in 2022 and has been well since. Front teeth are not ideal, but he doesn’t let that get in the way of his amazing appetite!More Info Forever home recommendations: A home where Louie’s humans will give him the love he truly deserves, and he’ll give it right back! And some belly scratches too! Louie does well being home alone for approximately 5-7 hours at a time; he may bark or whine 5-15 minutes when first left alone, so he needs humans who will accommodate this schedule, understand, and help him to manage that going forward. Kids: Ages 10+ Dogs: Only animal in the home Cats: No  Crate trained: Yes House trained: Yes Leash manners: Can walk a wee bit fast when excitable in a new environment. Has shown some dog reactivity while walking in the neighborhood—not aggressive, more so not yet versed in dog interaction. Personality: Fairly low energy. Loves to be pampered and petted. And a food lover, indeed! How did Louie find himself at Rescue Haven Foundation: Somehow found himself at a city shelter; then while being fostered in a home, was brought under RHF’s wing.
