Rescue FAQs
We are professional dog trainers with a passion to train people and their dogs.We rescue dogs from shelters, train them in our program and find lasting and loving homes for them.All our pets are spayed/neutered crate trained, house trained and know basic commands such as sit, stay, down and come.
We pull dogs from kill shelters get them fully vetted and place them intoa local prison program where they are paired with 2 inmates who train them in basic obedience. Dogs have 4 to 6 weeks of basic obedience training, they are crate trained, house trained and socialized prior to adoption. This program benefits both the dogs and inmates teaching them valuable life skills and compassion.
