My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Dakota - the stunning shepherd who is so ready for the forever love she's always deserved.

Dakota's journey hasn't been an easy one. She was rescued from a Los Angeles shelter and though her happy ending had finally begun...but heartbreak found her again when her rescue abandoned her in a boarder's care. Thankfully, that boarder was a true angel - and together, we are now making sure Dakota's next chapter is her forever one.

Dakota is phenomenal with people. We don't say that lightly - this girl connects deeply, loves wholeheartedly, and absolutely thrives with human companionship. She lives for affection, shared moments, and being someone's loyal shadow.

Because Dakota isn't comfortable around other dogs, she will need to be the only dog in the home. In return, she will gladly fill your life with all the love your heart can hold.

Dakota's favorites hobbies include: playing ball, stashing bones like little buried treasures; soaking up every ounce of human attention.

She also has what appears to be an older leg injury that can bother her when she is super active - so while she enjoys some playtime, she's also more than happy to be your cozy couch buddy, snuggles up and content just being near you.

Dakota is a dog who has been let down - yet somehow her heart remains open, soft, and full of hope. She's ready to finally be someone's one and only, to shine in a home where she will never be abandoned again.

If you're looking for a deeply devoted companion with a heart of gold, Dakota may just be your perfect girl. If you're interested in meeting Dakota, please fill out our application here.

Additional adoption info

We do our best to get back to every potential applicant but at times we are only able to get back to the strongest applicant. We are a team of volunteers who work full time jobs and do rescue on the side.

Go meet their pets

Most of our fosters are in the San Bernardino area. Our pups are fostered in private homes so appointments must be set up prior to visiting.

More about this rescue

We are a group of friends with a heart and passion for animals, especially dogs. We are drawn to the ones with the sad stories so that we can rewrite their stories and make them happy.
Each of our dogs will be fully vetted (spay/neuter), vaccines and microchip.
An in person home check is required.
