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!

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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.When we saw so many dogs in need, over 100 Pyrs in a hoarding case in NM, we wanted to help. Apollo was the worst case of Lupus out of the boys. Had lived on a chain his whole life. This beautiful, sweet and gentle boy has been in his foster home for several weeks now and has made so much progress! His foster family has learned so much about him.  Apollo is a quiet, for a Pyr, gentle soul. He definitely prefers women, his foster mom is his favorite and who he is the most comfortable around. Other family members are ok but she is the one who gets the snuggles and loves! Apollo lives next door to several neighbor dogs. It has taken him a while to get used to them barking at him, and some he is still afraid of. So this sweet guy needs to be in a home where even the neighbor dogs are friendly towards him.  He is totally house trained, has been from the moment he got to his foster! He is also a dream on a leash! Apollo is respectful around kiddos but they are a bit overwhelming for him. So a home with older kiddos or none would be preferred.  He also really might enjoy a nice, calm, confident female doggo to play with. He's had a couple of play dates and he's really come out of his shell! Apollo needs a patient forever home, where he can continue to progress at his own pace, with a family who understands dogs from hoarding situations can take time.  Apollo is being fostered in Utah.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 11, 2026, 1:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet This Sweet Great Pyrenees Girl Lucy Loo  This sweet girl is a big bundle of love, fluff, and personality! She absolutely loves being outside, where you can usually find her lounging in the sunshine, sniffing around, or happily digging herself a little dirt bed to lay in. Yes, she LOVES to dig and then lay right in the dirt she just dug.  She is a total cuddle bug and loves nothing more than being next to her people, getting ear rubs, and soaking up all the attention she can get. She also loves being brushed, which is a good thing because there is A LOT of fluffy girl to brush! She is not a fan of having her ears cleaned, but unfortunately for her, we make sure it gets done anyway.  She does wonderfully with our cats. She loves to sniff them and will even lay down and relax right alongside them. She has never shown a single ounce of aggression toward our cats. She also gets along well with our Shih Tzu mix. When it comes to meeting other dogs, she does best with proper introductions and should not be rushed into a new friendship. This girl can definitely get excited! She loves to run and sometimes forgets just how BIG she is, so her future family will need to be mindful of her size when she gets the zoomies.  She is also a professional counter surfer, so if you leave food on the counter, consider it officially hers! She LOVES chicken, although sadly she cannot have it because it aggravates her ear allergies. She may disagree with this rule, but we're sticking to it! She takes her job as home guardian seriously and loves watching over her people and her home. She is good with strangers who come to visit and warms up well to people. At the end of the day, though, this girl is just a big, sweet, loving cuddle bug who wants to be part of a family. She has a goofy personality, a gentle heart, and so much love to give. If you're looking for a giant fluffy companion who will make you laugh, keep watch over the house, and happily curl up beside you for some ear scratches, she might just be your girl.    Lucy is being fostered in Henderson, NV  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 20, 2026, 3:13 pm
