MamaDori's Jungle has important values and ideas. THe Jungle is a rescue that wants to improve any animal's life that
comes through our doors. WE believe dog training is a necessity for a well balanced, well mannered dog. We adopt to people
who will keep up with their training and not let them become animals with bad behavior.

No animal is disposposable, not ONE!
Why not other breeds or programs any more?
We were originally supposed to be a Bully, Mastiff and Rare Breed rescue. We began helping other rescues and doing
just one little thing that was not our purpose to help other rescues. It grew into an all breed rescue trying to provide every
program possible to help the community and other rescues. We got so far off of our focus that we just became a catch-all rescue
without enough time to even do our main goal (Bullies, Mastiffs and rare breeds).
The rescue believes that taking on too many things gives inadequate care to everything. We have learned that focusing
on just a few things and doing them more thoroughly results in much better and more relaxed care. Just because you are able
to something that is so needed, does not mean you are the one who HAS to do it. That concept is the same as believing
you can save every animal. Those are the hardest lessons to learn but we all eventually do in rescue.
Dealing with just the breeds we specialize in keeps us more focused. Because we do research on each animal, we need
our time spent on the animals that are our focus. Otherwise everyone loses by us being pulled in too many directions. That
is one valuable lesson that has been learned first hand. Trying to do too much is not fair to the animals in our care and
THEY COME FIRST!
Staying with our main focus provides the individual care and bonding for each one who comes to us. They will
have more and they will feel more stable and valued. It will also provide the caretakers the opportunity to be more relaxed
with the dogs knowing each dog's individual needs. We provide more than food, water, and medical care. The dog's environment
should be stress free and their minds should always be learning and busy with positive things.
True or False? See how much you know about the truth behind the scenes. Go to our Links page to find the answers.
1. Shelters are cruel because they put animals down.
2. There is only one human born to every 7 dogs and cats.
3. If I find homes for my puppies/kittens I am not causing a problem with the population of homeless animals.
4. Bully
breeds can be a problem when considering dog attacks.
This is Vinny (Van Gogh). He only has one ear, so no one wanted him. He found his perfect match by having somewhere to go
until his people could find him. Vinny was picked by a daddy who could only hear out of one ear. It was the same ear Vinny
couldn't hear out of. Now that's a perfect match! The new family still stays in contact and always let us know how he is doing.
Thank you family!

Picture yourself and your dog below. YOU are its LIFE! So what is your DOG'S life worth to you? Many people claim to love
their animals. Read below to see if you really mean it.
Every dog has the potential to get lost. Did you know that if you and your dog are separated it is up to others to decide
whether your dog should live or die? When you do these things for your dog, you really increase the chances that your dog
will be considered more "adoptable". Even if a stranger takes your dog in, if it is well behaved, they may hold onto the dog
for you to find. Badly behaved animals get disposed of.
If you want other people to value your dog as much
as you do, follow these steps:
Plese don't set your dog up to fail!
1. Give your dog training. It doesn't
have to know tricks. Teach them to live with humans and other animals peacefully. Teach your dog manners; like not jumping
on people, potty training, and getting along in every possible situation. Of course the more training the better. Training
also keeps your dog safe in threatening situations. If you can command your dog, you can save it from dangers by giving commands.
Dogs with training get picked by adopters much quicker, and get put down less often.
2. Give your dog medical
care. Dogs with too many needs sometimes need more than a shelter, rescue or home can provide.
3. Snip it
in the bud: Wait! LISTEN! If your dog is spayed or neutered, its chances at survival double. Not only does your dog benefit
in health for having this done, but it saves shelter costs also and that means if there is a choice between your dog or an
unaltered dog... think about it.
