Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Zack is a big sweet goof of a boy and bonded to our girl Lucy. They are an old married couple and they must be adopted together. We will be extremely selective about where these 2 go, with all that they've been through.  After their owner suddenly passed away they were faced with euthanasia. We had just a couple of days to find a place to get them safe, and thank goodness a wonderful foster stepped up! Zack gets along with all dogs and cats and is just a happy go lucky boy wherever he goes.  He is being fostered with Lucy in MT.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 8, 2026, 12:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sokka came to our rescue when he was taken to the shelter after being found left in an apartment alone for 10 days. In spite of that he was incredibly sweet, loved everyone he met and was happy to play with some doggy friends in his foster home. When his foster family had additional family with their own dogs moving into their home, it was time for Sokka to find a new foster home. His new foster mom quickly fell for him and there was talk of foster failing. Things changed for Sokka, who had been renamed Owen, when he protected his mom from a dog attack, he took his job seriously and kept her safe but by doing so it affected him, mentally, and he hasn't been the same boy since. Owen's foster mom now feels he'd do better in a different home so we are now looking for a very special place for him. The boy who used to love doggy friends now seems to be very scared and unsure. The boy who never met a person he didn't instantly love, is now very cautious and fearful. So we are looking for a quiet, low key home for Owen where he can learn to trust, feel safe again. Have a backyard to soak up the sun, or the snow. Also a very committed foster or adopter who will work consistently with our behaviorist to help Owen through the trauma he experienced. This is no small ask we know. But he deserves nothing less! Sokka/Owen is currently in UtahVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 8, 2026, 12:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Roxy! Roxy is the kind of dog who steals your heart once she decides you’re her person. We believe she’s an Akbash/Labrador mix, and she has all the wonderful qualities of both breeds—smart, loyal, athletic, and incredibly loving.   Roxy is fantastic with other animals and does wonderfully with small children. She’s gentle, kind, and has never shown any aggression.   She can be a little shy or nervous when meeting new adults, so she appreciates people who will let her warm up at her own pace. Once she trusts you, though, she’s completely devoted and will happily be your constant shadow. She’s incredibly intelligent and learns new things very quickly. Roxy loves having a job, enjoys training, and is eager to please, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys working with their dog.   Because she’s athletic and a bit of an escape artist, a securely fenced yard is a must. She loves to explore, so keeping her safe is important. Roxy isn’t the biggest fan of car rides right now, but we think that could easily change with a little patience and some fun adventures that help her build positive associations.   If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who’s gentle, loving, and will form an incredible bond with you, Roxy just might be your perfect match. Give her a little time to trust, and you’ll have a companion who will love you with her whole heart.   Roxy is being fostered in Utah.

But after a few days in her foster home it was quickly discovered what was thought to be older age was more than likely fear. In her foster home she quickly became ill, was rushed to the ER vet where she spent several days. Noel has spent months now recovering and is ready to find her forever family.  Noel is wonderful with other dogs, she sleeps by them and even eats right by them!  She is working on her leash manners and only chewing on approved items! ;) Noel is good with cats and loves people!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Duke is a 1-year-old neutered Akbash. He is playful, loving, and very gentle with young children—he’ll even let a toddler eat from his bowl. He loves to cuddle and be close to his people, though he can be a bit nervous indoors. Duke is good with livestock and shows no aggression toward them but he cannot be trusted around chickens. He gets along with most dogs but may react if another dog is aggressive. Duke is still working on leash manners and house training. Maggie and Duke are a bonded pair and need to stay together. They play, cuddle, and truly rely on each other. Both are incredibly sweet, affectionate dogs who absolutely adore children. Duke is an expert escape artist and needs secure fencing! He and Maggie currently live on a busy road and their safety is a concern. Duke is being fostered with Maggie in Northern Utah.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Albi was almost euthanized for just doing his job, being a protector. This boy needs a home where his dedication will be appreciated, he takes his job seriously!  Albi enjoys his time on the couch but is also a great patroller! He's very protective of his space and you will be incredibly safe with this boy on duty! He loves his walks and is learning not to pull so much. He could potentially live with cats but needs very slow intros and will chase those that run. He is good with other dogs with proper intros. He needs to live far from a road, he doesn't like cars and will chase, his foster mom is working with him on that. Albi has been in his foster home for over a year now and his foster mom knows him very well. He has bonded very closely with our girl Savannah and we are looking for an adopter who will take the 2 of them together.  Albi has been working on his food aggression for some time and has made improvements but it's still best to feed separately. This boy is a true guardian, he wants to protect his people and his property. He and Savannah are a great pair and will be a great addition for just the right home!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 8, 2026, 12:51 pm

Story
We adopted Tyri at 2 years old from a shelter. He is now currently 8 years old, birthday in April. He does not care about cats or small dogs at all, he leaves them alone. He gets excited when he sees big dogs because he wants to play with them.He does not bark at other dogs and plays well with them. A couple years ago he used to go to a doggy daycare and did well, we only stopped taking him since he got older.The reason I am looking to re-home sadly is because we cannot give him the attention he needs anymore since starting to grow our family. He still enjoys long walks and running around. He also does occasionally growl at the toddler when he annoys him but never has bitten anyone. He is a very good dog and a great guard dog. He barks when anyone approaches the house but I think this can be trained out of him.Let me know if you have any questions! I hope to find him a lovely home to spend his remaining years. He has no health issues.
