Story

Meet the new kid on the block in Utah - GRASSHOPPER! Surprisingly she fits her quirky name. She is bursting with enthusiasm and has been starved for a person to give her endless amounts of love to. She is still underweight, but PeiPeople will have that remedied in no time. Grasshopper is healing from her spay and entropion surgery. Check back for updates on this little sweet pea! We estimate she is around 5 years old and is fostering in Utah. December 5, 2025, 11:29 am

Story

Charlie is a 4-5 year old, female Rottweiler from South Los Angeles Animal Shelter. It is clear Charlie had a hard life prior to arriving at South LA shelter. She was very emaciated... incredibly underweight for her size and age: 63lbs. Her ribs and hips were visible but luckily, she was with a wonderful foster who has gotten Charlie to a healthy weight! Additionally, Charlie was a mama who has had a litter or two. Charlie is the most loving girl who was dealt an awful hand at life but now, is looking for a caring, loving and committed family to show her how wonderful the world can truly be! Charlie loves snuggles on the couch, being by her person and patrolling a backyard. She is all the wonderful things about a Rottie: loyal, loving, serious with a hint of goofy, alert and willing to learn! She is learning leash manners, crate training, and how to be loved at the rescue in SLC, Utah currently. We are looking for a home that knows the Rottweiler breed and can give this girl all of the love and structure that she needs to thrive!

Say hello to this sweet senior Mastiff, Chopper...a big-hearted boy with an even bigger personality. Recently neutered and ready for his forever home, he’s the perfect mix of gentle, goofy, and loyal.Chopper is friendly with other dogs: He loves canine companionship and would thrive with a doggy sibling. He is gentle and house-trained: A true gentleman indoors, he’s respectful and well-mannered. He’s shown himself to be wonderful with children, though like any large dog, initial supervision is recommended.His expressive personality will keep you smiling—he’s a lovable character who wears his heart on his sleeve. Chopper believes he is a lap dog and loves to snuggle on the couch and in the bed with his people.Important Notes: No cats or small animals. Separation anxiety: He gets very sad when left alone, so he’ll do best in a household where someone is home most of the time and ideally with another dog for comfort.This sweet Mastiff is looking for a family who can give him the companionship he craves. A home with another friendly dog and humans who are around often would be perfect. In return, he’ll shower you with loyalty, laughter, and endless affection.

Salt Lake City, UT

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Elsa is 8 years young and came from a neglect and abuse case in Colorado. She was confiscated from her "family," along with her son, Olaf. Elsa was so afraid when she arrived to our rescue and wouldn't stop shaking in the back of her crate. It took two weeks for her to gain confidence and trust us enough to start exploring the rescue. The rest is history... since Elsa created a bond with us, she has opened up SO much! She lives for her walks, is obsessed with snuggles and will quite literally follow you anywhere you go. She is wonderful on car rides and loves a good pup cup! Elsa's ideal family is someone who will continue to dress her up and treat her like the queen she is... lol. But really, she would thrive as an only pup who will spend the rest of her days spoiled, loved and cherished. She is going to make the most loyal and loving companion to a very lucky person/family.

Roxy was adopted but Mocha is still looking for her forever family. Mocha is 40lbs, amazing with children, people and most dogs but does have some resource guarding tendencies with other pups. Her ideal home would be with no other pups or a well mannered pup, and with a family to love her and dote on her. Mocha has high drive and loves playing fetch and learning new tricks. One of her favorite activities is going for car rides! She is the perfect errand buddy. Mocha needs a family to love her and take her on adventures, she deserves it after the hard life she's been through!

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Zero is a 4 year old neutered, male Rottweiler from Riverside shelter. He was found tied to a stop sign in California. The day that we went to save him, the shelter had already labeled him as"euthanized," because he was next to be killed. Zero came to us afraid, reactive and weary. He has made tremendous progress in the time we have had him! His favorite thing in the world is playing with a ball and going for walks. He is great on walks, loves exploring new outdoor spaces and rolling in the grass, and is the perfect dog to cuddle up with on the sofa. Once you truly gain his trust, Zero will be the most loyal velcro dog! As with most Rottweilers, Zero needs a strong leader to respect his boundaries while also implementing structure. Z would thrive in a home that can continue the training that we have started and has experience with the breed!
