My story

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

Theo is extremely smart and active. He really needs an owner that is experienced with the working line dog breeds. We did a DNA test on him and these two breeds were highest percentage. In training, he has done very well. Before the GSD came in his DNA test, we would describe his disposition as more Malinois. If you love that working line dog, he would excel in agility and scentwork. He loves to train and do drill work. Theo would do very well in a home with a confident female dog. He plays and follows the lead of a female dog in his training program. Seems to push back more with a male dog playmate. No cats at this time, but he is getting worked around cats to "leave it" .

More about this rescue

Our mission is to rescue any dog in need, mostly dogs from overpopulated shelters and animal controls. These dogs are at risk of being euthanized due to the overpopulation. Also we educate the public on understanding responsible dog ownership, and every adopter is given a packet on dog care. The reason we chose to educate the public on this topic because through our experience and research, owner surrendering and most stray dogs are do to people not understanding dog ownership. The responsibility for your pet and proper identification for your pet, in case they are lost. We promote all of this with our adopters and make them feel comfortable to call us with any questions at anytime.
