My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We rescued Grizz from an animal shelter in a less-than-desirable area after seeing his picture on their website for nearly three months. He had been listed as needing rescue because of "skin issues." After seeing his regal face for so long, we couldn't imagine why he wasn't scooped up by one of many other rescues, but his animal shelter people were clearly intimidated by him due to his fearful behavior as they tried to leash him and bring him out of his kennel. Once in the vehicle of our volunteer who picked him up, she described him as a "grateful good boy" who "loves a piano concerto." We think Grizz is a dog who hasn't known love in his life, and as a result he sometimes "freezes" when being stroked or handled as if he's worried about what will happen next. He's a good-sized boy, probably around 3 years old.

Additional adoption info

We ask that you bring the whole family (including the four legged) so we can best match you with the right dog. Once you have found your new companion we will have you fill out a one page adoption agreement. All dogs go home spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, with a collar, and ID tag.
Our donations for dogs may vary depending on gender, age, breed and medical needs. Generally our male Dobermans are $250-300 with possible flexibility for seniors. Our female Dobermans are generally a $350 donation, due to the fact that it is more difficult for us to get spay appointments and therefore, we are paying more for those surgeries at other vet clinics. We have to ask more just to make ends meet for now. Little dogs and non-Dobermans are still generally a $200 donation.

Go meet their pets

We are located on a small ranch nestled in the orchards of Fillmore, ca. We are open every saturday from 11:00am-3:00pm for open house adoptions as long as you have an approved application. We have to keep visitors to a minimum due to the pandemic. We can arrange weekday or sunday visits by appointment as well.

More about this rescue

We are a non-profit, no-kill rescue/sanctuary specializing in dobermans but also rescuing small dogs. Most of our dogs come from animal shelters before they are euthanized and are given a second chance at a new home.
