Story
Tiller is a ~45 lb, high-energy young dog who thrives outdoors and would do best in an active home with space to run. He is 9 months old and is up to date on all shots and is neutered. He has received professional obedience and behavioral training and has a strong foundation. He is crate trained, potty trained, e-collar conditioned, and has excellent recall. His general obedience is solid and he responds well to structure. Tiller loves being outside and would excel in an environment with property or an owner who enjoys outdoor activities and can provide consistent engagement. He does have some behavioral considerations, including resource guarding tendencies and occasional moodiness in the evenings. We have worked closely with a professional trainer to manage these behaviors successfully, and we are happy to share details with the right home to ensure a smooth transition. Due to a growing family and a baby arriving soon, we believe Tiller would be better suited in a different home.

Story
Hi, I’m Cheese! Happy boy, professional goofball, and former desert explorer. I was found roaming out in the desert with my sister, and while those adventure days are behind me, I’m more than ready to trade them in for a comfy home and people to call my own. I’m a silly, wiggly guy who brings the fun wherever I go, but like any young pup I’ll need continued training and socialization to help me grow into my very best self. I’m eager to learn, love to stay busy, and promise to keep you laughing while I figure out this whole “polite gentleman” thing. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy sidekick with a big heart and an even bigger personality, I’m ready to be your boy.

Story
His name is koa, he was a rescue, I believe he's was abused before we got him as he's more wary of men, he's 2 years old now. Im looking for a new home for him because as his owner I cant afford to keep him anymore due to my living circumstances and lack of income. I really do want to keep koa but unfortunately I cannot at this time. He really is a great dog and will always be my baby. So if you do adopt him please take great care of him.

Mochi

Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd Dog

Yerington, NV

Good with kids,
Story
Mochi was adopted from a shelter after being rescued along with his siblings. He is a gentle and loving dog, but has had a lot of difficulty adjusting to indoor living and potty training. He has gotten his initial shots and heart worm medicine as well. We have experienced unexpected changes as well at home that have made it exceptionally hard to continue trying to train him. We also have some grooming supplies for him. The fee will cover the cost of his prior veterinary check up, shots etc.

Story
Meet Jack Jack is a friendly, playful 10 month old Bulldog / Poodle mix weighing about 31 lbs. His mom was a Bulldog and his dad was a Poodle mix, which gives him his adorable underbite and a nice balance of personality and energy. Jack loves to run, play, and spend time with both people and other dogs. He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and becomes very affectionate once he’s comfortable. He does form strong bonds and has some mild separation anxiety, but he has not been destructive and hasn’t chewed inappropriate items. He is fully grown and does best on a fish-based diet (currently Natural Balance Trout & Rice). Jack enjoys all toys, fish treats, and staying active. Jack is part of our Pups on Parole program, where he has been working on building confidence and learning independence. His trainers describe him as outgoing, happy, playful, and loving. Ideal home: Active family or couple Home with kids or another playful dog Family that can keep him engaged and provide companionship Jack is a great medium-size dog with a sweet personality and would do well in a home ready to give him structure, activity, and affection. If you’re interested, please fill out an application on our website. Home checks and adoption fees apply.

Great Pyrenees/Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Henderson, NV

Story
Pilot and his littermates were found under a tree in freezing temperatures when they were around 2 weeks old. Fortunately, a kind person called for help and soon, they joined us, getting bottle fed in a loving foster home. We have no idea what breeds they are but they are big, friendly pups who have been well socialized. We are estimating their adult weight to be at least 75 lbs so Pilot will need a home with the space, time and patience to raise him into a well mannered family member.
