My name is Robbie!

It has been a busy week for our Rescue. While preparing to keep our dogs safe during Tropical Storm Hilary, we continued our efforts to rescue four, 3.5 month old female GSD puppies. 

. 

While these puppies weren’t found in a shelter, the odds that they might in the future end up in a shelter (or worse) were trending in the wrong direction. We received word from a rescue partner in the desert that a person was giving away GSD puppies to anyone who wanted them. Unfortunately, by the time we got involved, 7 of the puppies were already gone. Sadly, the futures of these beautiful puppies were completely left to chance.  

. 

The cold hard truth is that many people get German Shepherd Dogs for breeding, or as a guard dog to be stuck in a yard with no interaction. Going hand in hand with this, many people don’t take the care to spay or neuter their dogs which is a major contributor to our overcrowded shelter system. We can only hope for the best for those puppies we couldn’t help. 

. 

Thankfully, we were able to rescue RAIN, RYLAN, RUDI and ROBBIE; our “R-Puppy” pack! These courageous pups made the long trip to the Ranch this past weekend where we had a welcoming committee ready and waiting to receive them with open arms. The puppies look amazingly similar so we had to put on different colored collars to tell them apart.  

. 

We gave them a minute to take in their new environment then we brought them in to clean them off with a quick, warm bath. Three of the 4 girls showed themselves to be pretty sure-footed and handling the change very well. The last puppy, ROBBIE, was a little timid and overwhelmed. We will work to help her with that over the next days/weeks. 

. 

With the storm coming, we moved the puppies into temporary foster care for a few days. We will be welcoming them back to the Ranch this week and will share more pictures, video, and information. So, STAY TUNED!!

The minimum adoption donation ranges from $300 to $400. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is 100% tax deductible.

Prior to placement, all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are usually microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis. Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.

Our adoption process begins with completing an application on-line. A phone screening will soon follow, and lastly a home visit will be conducted by our volunteers.

We show our dogs at adoption events every weekend! Check our our website to see where we'll be next!
