Male, 2 yrs 4 mos

Size

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

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Brutus, a protective and loyal companion, never stood a chance in the traditional shelter environment. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and uncertain about his future, he was overwhelmed and scared. Unfortunately, the traditional shelter system was not equipped to address his specific needs, leaving him set up for failure. Recognizing this, we made the compassionate decision to take him in and give him a chance at a better life. We owe a heartfelt thank you to Amy, the person who stepped up for Brutus and fought for his life. Amy's unwavering dedication and pleas on his behalf have not gone unnoticed. It is through her efforts that we have hope that someone out there will also step up for Brutus and provide him with the love and care he deserves. Despite his challenging past, Brutus has been neutered, microchipped, and is ready to find his forever home. He has shown positive interactions with both neutered male and female dogs during his time with us. While he did display some food aggression towards a smaller male, it is an area that can be worked on with proper training and guidance. One thing is for certain, Brutus adores people and will make an incredible companion for someone looking for an only dog. Additionally, he has proven to be well-behaved when it comes to potty training and has never made any messes in his enclosed, heated trailer. At 60 lbs, he is a quiet sleeper and can comfortably sleep in a crate. Although he may still need some work on jumping, his teeth are clean, and he is estimated to be around 2 years old. While he tends to prefer the company of female dogs, introductions should be done slowly and carefully to ensure a smooth transition. Despite our best efforts, we are still searching for a kind hearted person to take in this deserving pup, as he was retrieved from a Colorado to prevent him from being euthanized. ##1960027##

Story

Tay came in like a wrecking ball. This little lady will waggle her entire body to the sound of your encouragement like the happiest dog in the world. While she is the most adorable and sweet girl, she has clearly experienced the absolute wrong kind of pupbringing. To the tune of zero manners, forget the leash walking, she's over, under to the side, upside down everywhere lol. She doesn't fully trust people but she tries really hard. Little lady was like a snappy gator when we got her because she had no idea where to direct her energy. She could be found bounding on top of her furry companions (they didn't appreciate that), crawling beneath them, full tilt running into them and side rolling. We kid you not. Fast forward a couple few weeks.... Tay has been an amazing student. She is learning so quickly with our behavior team here and holy smokes has she been turning it around. This girl is much better on leash, understanding boundaries with people and other dogs. Her mouthiness has subsided and she isn't so worried about the food situation anymore! Tay has also shown to be pretty good off leash with a decent recall, she will need more work through positive reinforcement with that. Her buddy, Flameo has had a HUGE role in her socialization and learning curve here. Tay plays hard, she possesses the typical herd of elephants rough and ready pibble play personality and will need a dog who can keep up with that if you have other pets in your home! Tay is a toy hoarder, often loses them..and then finds them... What a personality on this girl! Did we mention she is also doing VERY well with children? We definitely do not recommend kids under 8 years old for her but she does absolutely adore them. ##1960416##

Story

Arriving 5/01. How could you say no to those eyes? Wally is a 2-year-old Pointer Mix with a gentle and calm demeanor. He has a sweet and loving personality, and he gets along great with other dogs. Wally has captivating eyes that tell a story of a difficult past, but he's a resilient boy who still has lots of love to give. Unfortunately, he was left abandoned in an after-hours drop-off box, and we're unsure of his full history. Watch him in action here: https://youtu.be/ZqnThFUW4r8 and here: https://youtu.be/fWlCY8BL7-M ##2036180##

Story

At just five months old, Bliss finds herself in a shelter, trembling with fear. It's heartbreaking to see this young pup cowering in a corner, as if expecting punishment for the slightest movement. The shelter environment is completely foreign to her, and it's no wonder she's terrified. However, we firmly believe that once Bliss finds a loving home, she will blossom into a remarkable and trusting companion. It's clear that she has immense potential, but she needs someone patient and understanding to help her navigate this new world. Due to her delicate state, we recommend a home without young children, but if you're a single person who can provide the time and support she needs, we urge you to consider giving Bliss a second chance. Our mission is to mend the broken pieces of animals who come to us, whether they're wounded emotionally or physically. We strive to make them whole again and create a safe environment that aligns with society's standards. You have the power to be a part of this rescue process, whether it's through fostering, donating, or adopting. By becoming a change maker in your own unique way, you can make a profound difference in the lives of these vulnerable creatures. Let Bliss's story be a new beginning, filled with hope and promise for a brighter future. Meet - https://youtube.com/shorts/lsIuTVEYuWE?feature=share ##2036175##
