My story

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

Meet Vortex! Vortex is an 8 month old high drive mix that has been enrolled in our training programs since he was 4 months old, however needed a more active home that understands the requirements of owning a high energy dog. Vortex would make a great companion to someone looking to dabble in any and all dog sports, as Vortex is confident and loves to please his handler. From fast and snappy obedience, to a calm hiking buddy, as long as he is with his humans he will love to try it all!

Vortex is reliable on and off leash, and has started participating in agility, dock diving, trick dog training, and could do so much more!

Vortex is an incredibly loving and fun dog, perfect for a young adventurer ready for their hiking, camping, running, and snuggle buddy!

More about this rescue

We are a working breed dog rescue run by professional dog trainers. Trust someone with experience and extensive canine knowledge to match you with your perfect pup! Working breeds have not been breed to be pets. Often times these dogs end up in the shelter because they have not been given a job to do as was intended for their creation. We are here to save dogs who have been subject to this situation and educate dog lovers on how to live with, handle, and train these magnificent creatures!

We find dogs that have been flagged for euthanasia in the Southern California high kill shelters and foster them for 1-2 months. During this time we train these dogs and work on any behavioral issues they may present with as well as completing an advanced obedience program through Shades Of Blu Dog Training. (IG: @shadesofbludogtraining) The dogs are available for adoption after completion of a training program and a careful selection of the right home for the dog.

We also offer comprehensive programs where we will find you your perfect dog based on your preferences and lifestyle, train this dog for you, and then give you the tools you need to maintain a happy life with your new fur baby.

As an adopter through either service we offer comprehensive guidelines and suggestions and provide you with all the information and expertise you will need to continue life with your new family member.

All of our dogs go to their forever homes with training, up to date on shots, spayed/neutered, with an active pet insurance account through nationwide pet insurance, comprehensive veterinary testing to include heartworm testing, fecal testing, and blood work. Additional DNA testing is available upon request.

If you are a disabled female veteran interested in a trained service dog please contact us as we are able to get you in touch with our Service Dog organization.
