Hello, Im sorry if I choose the wrong breed, Charlie was adopted on Seaaca. Its black and white and she is my baby. She gets along with Pooka, our German shepherd mixed, big dog too but she hates Penny the chihuahua. Our vet recommended us to rehome Charlie since she had bitten Penny in the past and more likely she will do it again I am rehoming with pain in my heart because Charlie is a good girl. Please 🙏 text me with any questions.

Story
Shelbi came to our rescue from Arizona. The rescue in Arizona goes onto the Apache reservation to help dogs. Shelbi was 1 year old and her young life being possible hit by a car that left her rear legs paralyzed. The vet did not recommend euthanasia , she said all Shelbi needed was a wheelchair and she would be fine. Shelbi was fortunate to be taken to a very kind vet who kept her at the clinic until they could find a special need rescue. Since our specialty is paralyzed animals they asked if we could take her into our rescue. We said yes. A plan was in process to deliver her to California. She was a couple months at the vet healing and waiting for a rescue. She started acting strange. Turns out she was pregnant. She had a emergency C-section. She gave birth to 2 puppies which the staff members adopted. Now there was a 6 week delay. During that time she started to stand. When transport was found Shelbi was wobbly but no one expected what was to happen next. When she arrived we took her to our vet for more x rays Our vet said her bones were healing. For the next 6 months she started walking wobbly but walking. Everyday she got stronger and today she runs and does her happy dog walk. She is normal like any happy dog. She has the easy go lucky personality of a husky and the keen eye and sharp mind of a border collie/aussie. Unfortunately she has a strong prey drive for cats so she cannot live with cats. This girl is so beautiful with her flowing shiny coat.

Story
Meet Benito – Your Happy-Go-Lucky Adventure Buddy! Basic Info: Name: Benito Breed: Border Collie / Australian Cattle Dog Mix Sex: Male DOB: April 10, 2022 Weight: 46 lbs Intake Date: April 9, 2024 Personality – Happy, Playful & Full of Zest: Benito is pure sunshine on four paws! Always ready to play, explore, or lean in for a pet, he’s got an infectiously joyful personality that will keep a smile on your face. He loves interactive games, running around the yard, and getting belly rubs. Benito thrives on connection and fun—he’s a dog who wants to be in the middle of the action and part of the family. With him, every day is a new adventure. Breed Information: As a mix of Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog, Benito is naturally intelligent, alert, and active. These working breeds are known for their stamina, loyalty, and sharp minds. Benito will benefit from regular physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep him balanced and happy. Puzzle toys, training sessions, and active play will help him shine. He’s eager to learn and eager to please! Owner Responsibilities: Provide daily exercise: walks, play, fetch, or dog sports Offer mental stimulation through training, puzzles, and games Use positive reinforcement training—Benito is smart and responsive Maintain regular veterinary care and vaccinations Ensure he’s part of the family, not left alone for long periods Provide structure, patience, and love Create a safe, indoor home environment Commitment for Life: Benito is not a short-term companion—he's a lifelong partner. Adopting him means committing to his care, well-being, and happiness for all of his days. He needs a family that understands that dogs are not disposable—they are forever. In return, Benito will give you loyalty, laughter, and love every single day. Do Not Leash Your Dog Outside Unattended: Benito should never be tied up or left outdoors alone. He needs companionship, safety, and interaction. Tethering a dog outside is not only dangerous but also deeply unfair to a social, intelligent dog like Benito. He deserves to be inside, where he can be close to his people and thrive. Why Adopt Benito? Because Benito brings joy wherever he goes. He’s playful without being overwhelming, smart without being stubborn, and affectionate without being clingy. He’s the perfect match for an active individual or family who wants a loyal sidekick with a big heart. Adopt Benito and experience the happiness of having a dog who truly loves life—and loves you.

Story
STABBED BY HIS OWNER, NOW HES ALL ALONE Rescue preferred This is not the life Buster deserves to be living Buster came to the shelter in July after being stabbed by his owner with a sword. He was seen by an offsite vet, his owner was arrested, and he has been here as evidence ever since. His owner’s case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence (unfortunately), and Buster is now FINALLY able to leave the shelter after being cooped up in a kennel for over FIVE MONTHS. We prefer that Buster goes to a rescue, as we do not want Buster to ever have to go back to the person who did this to him— he deserves better. He deserves love. Buster’s story is sad, but please do not bring him into your home unprepared just because his story tugs at your heart. Anyone who takes Buster home needs to be prepared for a long and potentially rocky and frustrating decompression process. Being in a shelter for so long is not easy and takes a toll on a dog’s psyche (and behaviors). He needs space and grace to heal. Currently, Buster’s mind is all over the place so it takes him a bit to connect with people because he is just too overwhelmed. He needs someone who understands that it may not be love at first sight. Someone patient who will not necessarily shower him with love but will give him structure, boundaries, and a safe place to rest his bones. Buster seems to want to be with dogs, but again, he needs to decompress. He lacks manners and shows some dominant behaviors, possibly due to how stressed he is. We cannot say for sure how his opinion of dogs and behaviors toward them will change once he is in a home, but currently he would do best with SLOW intros (decompression!!!!) and a tolerant, friendly dog. ##2619651##
