Story
Blitzen is a 2-year-old, 60-pound curious and affectionate boy looking for his furever home! Blitzen was hit by a car in November 2022, resulting in a broken right leg. He’s healed up well according to the vets, but still walks with a limp and would do best with short walks and hikes. Thankfully, his leg doesn’t seem to slow him down when it comes to playing with other dogs, one of his favorite pastimes! Blitzen currently lives in foster with another dog and is FULL of love and happy puppy energy. He is eager to please and responds well to structure and consistency from his humans. He’s already crate and potty trained and is working on his leash skills. Blitzen has been through a lot and is ready for a permanent loving home. To learn more about Blitzen or to set up a meet and greet, please email his current foster: chris.bachman@calstatela.edu

Story
Have we got a Dutch treat for you! This silly, 16-month-old boy (as of July,2023), might have had a rough start to life, but man-oh-man is he ever making up for lost time! After spending a couple of months behind bars at the Devore Shelter, Dutch hitched a ride on The Rescue Train and has been making his foster mom laugh ever since. Dutch recently completed a training course at Corcha Balanced K9 and came through with flying colors! This boy is the physical embodiment of “everything, everywhere, all at once”! Are we going for a walk in the rain—yay! Are we playing chase with our canine foster sisters—yay! Are we going for a ride in the car-yay! Are we just gonna cuddle on the couch—well, you get the idea. There’s really not much that Dutch doesn’t enjoy, and his enthusiasm is contagious! Because of his working breed background and high intelligence, Dutch is a fast learner and very eager to please. We think he’d do best in an active home, where his zest for life will really shine. A canine companion would be great, but as long as he has doggy friends, it’s not a deal breaker.

Have we got a Dutch treat for you! This silly, 16-month-old boy (as of July, 2023), might have had a lonely start to life, but man-oh-man is he ever making up for lost time! After finding himself at the age of 6 months behind bars at the Devore animal shelter, Dutch was rescued and has been keeping his foster mom on her toes and laughing ever since. He is an active and playful Shepherd mix. Dutch recently completed an obedience training course at Corcha Balanced K9 and came through with flying colors! He knows all his commands and any adopter has the support and guidance of Corey and Cynthia, his trainers who think he is a rock star dog. This boy is the physical embodiment of “everything, everywhere, all at once”! Are we going for a walk in the rain—yay! Are we playing chase with our canine foster sisters—yay! Are we going for a ride in the car-yay! Are we just gonna cuddle on the couch—well, you get the idea. There’s really not much that Dutch doesn’t enjoy, and his enthusiasm is contagious! Because of his working breed background and high intelligence, Dutch is a fast learner and very eager to please. We think he’d do best in an active home with a good leader, where his zest for life will really shine. A canine companion would be great, but as long as he has doggy friends, it’s not a deal breaker. So whaddya say, wanna go Dutch? Dutch is fully vetted and very healthy. He is crate trained and potty trained.
