Story
Russ is a 3-year-old sweetheart who was saved just moments before being euthanized from the “back kennels” of an overcrowded shelter — the place no dog should ever have to see. He was so loved by the volunteers who cared for him that they worked tirelessly to make sure his story didn’t end there. Because of them, Russ was given the chance at a new life. Despite a rough past that left him with scars from an embedded collar and old lacerations, Russ’s heart is nothing but gentle and loving. He adores people and has been wonderful with other dogs in his training environment. Like all dogs, he does best with slow, thoughtful introductions, but he has shown himself to be social, respectful, and friendly with canine companions. Russ is currently in training so we can continue learning more about him — and he has been an absolute star. He is: House trained Crate trained Working on basic obedience Calm, affectionate, and eager to please He has shown incredible resilience, trust, emotional growth, and a super love of cuddling ;) in such a short time. Now, he’s ready for the next chapter: a foster or forever home where he can finally feel safe, loved, and part of a family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soulful gaze, a gentle nature, who loves to cuddle with a powerful second-chance story, Russ may be your perfect match. Adopt or foster Russ and be the happy ending to the story so many people came together to change.

Story
Located in Reno, NV. Brady is a smart, handsome boy who has been thriving in an extensive training program. His high intelligence makes him eager to learn and capable of so much with the right guidance. According to his trainer, Brady is an easy, relaxed dog outside of stimulating environments. He crates with no fuss, loves to hang out quietly in the yard, nose around for kibble, or lounge by your side. Around higher-stimulus situations, Brady benefits from tight management and structure to keep up the healthy habits he's worked so hard to build. The great news is that he's been walking and working around other dogs successfully, and he responds beautifully to the e-collar, which will be an important tool in continuing his progress. Brady is looking for a home that appreciates his intelligence and is committed to keeping up his training. In return, you'll gain a loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully capable companion. Brady's adoption includes 12 sessions with a private trainer, 3 boarding nights and unlimited group classes. We are so dedicated to Brady and know that the perfect person is out there looking for him.

Story
Meet Opal, a young female Boxer with a heart as big as her journey! Opal's story began on the streets of Tijuana, where a heartbreaking picture of her Emaciated and covered in ticks found its way to us. Homeless and struggling, we knew we had to bring her to safety. Once here, we immediately took her to the vet for bloodwork and a 4DX test to check for any tick-borne diseases. Everything came back negative, and her blood work is perfectly normal! We were thrilled! Fast forward a couple months, Opal was on medical status as we worked on slowly gaining weight and building her strength. During her Spay appt, she almost died on the table and it was found that she did in fact contract 2 Tickborne Diseases! She had contracted Erlichia and Anaplasmosis. We cured the tickborne diseases and her blood platelets were damaged. So she has been battling Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia, going every two weeks for routine blood draws and medicine. During the vet visits, we also discovered that Opal is deaf, but that doesn't stop her from being the sweetest, most affectionate dog. She adores being with her humans and thinks she's a lap dog-she'll cuddle up with you any chance she gets! Opal is looking for a loving home where her new family will enjoy her goofy loving personality! If you're ready to be part of Opal's journey and give her the second chance she deserves, please complete our adoption application, and we'll be in touch soon. Let's give this sweet girl the happy ending she's been waiting for!
