Rescue Dogs

Rescue Dogs Biography
Nice Dog Rescue works cooperatively with 4 individual sister rescuers who rescue adoptable dogs from high-kill facilities. All adoptable companion animals are completely vetted, they complete a quarantine period of 2>3 weeks each to ensure their health is never in question, and then are transported to pre-screened adoptive families & no-kill shelters and rescues located from Washington DC to New York state. IF we can not find responsible homes for all those we rescue each month, we work non-stop to find no-kill rescue groups and shelters for those we still have available, to help us make room for those in emminent danger of being euthanized. Many of these rescued ones are dumped off in rural communities by their owners, or given up because of the current economic crisis or foreclosure on thier homes, or because they must go into a nursing home/care facility and can no longer care for them. Some are merely left behind when their owners move and do not take them with them... thinking 'someone will see them and care for them'. In reality, most are picked up by Animal Control after their neighbor reports that the dog has been abandoned. This is nothing better than neglect and is illegal, irresponsible and inhumane! And so, this is where we come into the picture. It is our mission in life to help as many of those who can not help, nor speak, for themselves as we possibly can manage. It is never-ending and overwhelming, but our spirits soar when we see them meet their new owners who open their hearts and homes to these wonderfully UNconditionally loving & resilient creatures.

Wisconsin serves as abode to many dog rescuers. Whether working through an organization or working independently, dog rescuers have changed the lives of many unfortunate pups. One of those independent dog rescuers is Polly Schellinger of Sussex, WI.

Polly Schellinger created and built The Healing Place Farm about five years ago. Schellinger, who was always an animal fanatic, wanted to build a place that was restorative to both people and animals. Over the years, she has rescued and found homes for over 25 dogs. She has worked with H.A.W.S., Elmbrook Humane Society, and other independent rescue facilities.

“It’s been very rewarding rescuing dogs.” Polly said. “But it also makes me very sad to see how people have mistreated them. The telltale signs are in the dogs face. That realization makes me sad.”

Along with simply homing dogs, she has also begun implementing Healing Touch on many of her rescued pups. Schellinger, a registered nurse, also has certification in Holistic Healing. She uses natural/holistic methods such as herbs and essential oils. “They each receive treatment based on their individual needs.” Schellinger explained. “Healing touch takes care of, not only the physical needs, but the mind, body, and spirit of those animals by just being close and aware of their spiritual needs. Sometimes, it takes their entire life to trust a human.”

Schellinger is truly an angel sent to many a dog’s life. She has made great strides in dog rescue and is a testament as to how one person can make such a great difference in a dog's life. Currently, Schellinger is teaching classes in aroma therapy, animal observation, animal energy, and soaping for animals.
