My story

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

Terra is a petite, medium sized dog that is most like a Carolina Dog mix (smaller) but shares many of the same traits. She has some particular needs due to her heartbreaking background and will require a very special home and person(s). Once she trusts you and starts to feel comfortable, she becomes a very loving, loyal, kiss-you-all-over best friend.

Terra was originally trapped by the county in a rural desert area. She was terrified in the shelter, pregnant and lost her pup due to the stress. We rescued her and she spent a great deal of time with a caring, patient foster and family where she went through an extended decompression and acclimation period due to her extreme fear of people. She has since graduated into a different home to help ready her for adoptions and has acclimated well. She will always retain some inherent cautiousness so a quite home with a calm environment and low-key lifestyle would do best. Terra prefers to stay home where she feels most safe so she would be a great companion for someone who is retired, stay-at-home or just a home-body. She is well behaved and quite but alert, so if she hears something, she will bark to let you know. She is great with other dogs and cats and is a great buddy for a lonely canine. She is overall calm and quite but she also likes to play and will even leapfrog once she gets going. She likes chew toy treats and play with balls. Terra is housetrained, and loves scratches. Once she feels comfortable with you, she will sneak up if you are working or reading and give you little kisses...be prepared to occasionally get smothered in them when you wake up on the morning.

More about this rescue

Lifeline Oro Valley Animal Rescue (L.O.V.A.R.) is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization, all volunteer and no kill rescue striving to support those most in need.

We rescue dogs and cats of all types, sizes, aged and breeds.

Specialty: We also specialize in Carolina Dogs; Desert Dogs and fear dogs and cats from shelters, or the community.

Since opening in 2014, we have successfully rescued and adopted animals considered by some to be least adoptable- including dogs that are feral, senior, sick and injured, as well as those with behavior and fear problems, hospice and mothers left behind, as well as cats that are seniors and bonded pairs.

We believe that the systematic killing as a means of controlling the population is wrong and work with other stakeholders and the community to seek non lethal options.

LOVAR is platinum rated on Guidestar Charity and proudly participates in Shelter Data Counts.
