Story
Sira's start in life is unknown but her journey here was rough.  Caught by animal control as a stray and young, she stayed pancaked at the back of her kennel and was not receptive to touch.  Shelter life was literally killing her.  She was failing and doomed to death.  The rescue coordinator reached out and asked us a favor, knowing she is our type of dog.  At the time we had space and said yes.  Sira was a unique case because she did not grow with time.  She stayed stagnant so we pushed her.  After several weeks of decompression, environmental exposure to the facility and dogs she continued to recoil at human touch or interaction.  Very likely feral it meant we needed to push or let her stay forever stagnant.  Despite the recoil you could see her soften and start to enjoy, if not invite, her regular massage sessions.  Eventually she opened up and learned to be a dog.  She is one of the more affectionate dogs at the faciility.  She is easy going, a true home body and good to just chill where she knows it's safe.  She seeks interaction from those she knows and trusts.  She is happy and content as long as her out of the normal activity and exposure is limited.  She's looking for a very patient, quiet home with adults who will assist her in gaining confidence. She loves to be pet and has a silly playful side when she feels comfortable with her people and her surroundings. Her ideal home would be one with minimal expecations she do "dog worldly" things.  She'd love to stay home, have just her yard, chill in the comfort of what she knows with the people she loves.  Is that you? Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.

Story
Maki is 1 year old female Mini Australian Sheppard Mix. She is one active dog when she wants to be but other times she can sleep all day if she wanted too. She loves loves loves to eat, she'll try to be slick and steal some of your food. Maki is a good listener more like selective hearing. She loves her cuddles, sweet , and over all the best dog you can ask for. She will become your best friend like she became mines. Maki needs a person who knows their stuff about dogs and needs some room to run around, all I ask if for her to go into a good and loving home.

Story
Nitro is a 7 year old male mixed breed. He is a highly trained very loyal dog. He recently showed aggression towards our elderly Maltipoo. We rescued him from an abusive situation about 3 years ago. He knows almost all commands. Heel, sit, wait, place, over, under, and more. He loves to play fetch (for hours). It takes him a bit to get to know people and trust them, but this can be done by playing ball with him. He would be a great 1 person dog. Someone who has time to play, work, and love him. He is a great fly chaser too! This is a very difficult decision for our family. We love him, we just cannot keep him any longer due to his actions with our other dog.

Story
I am still looking for Honey to find a new home, as I fostered her earlier this year and had to unexpectedly take her back recently. I don't have the capability to give her an active life, and I'm moving in 2 weeks so I'm looking for a new home ASAP. I love this girl dearly, she's very loving, potty trained, and eager to please during training. She never leaves my side. About a year old, 32 lbs, spayed, shots up to date. She could use some leash training or a yard preferred! I think she's good with cats and kids, and is obsessed with my dog here. Please contact me! 💕💕

Story
Cooper is a good dog. He isn’t great with kids under 10 years of age.he has nipped and bitten my 4 year old and has begun attempting with our 1 year old. He needs to be the single dog in the home or you keep him well separated from the dog you have until well sure he is comfortable. He is dog aggressive/reactive. We have tried training, but it never stuck with him. He does well with cats. He leaves small animal cages alone minus little boops. He hates fireworks and kennels, but loves to play and cuddle. He does have anxiety from being abused as a puppy from a previous owner who was arrested for abuse. He also has what’s known as water diabetes, where he has to be stopped/slowed from drinking water/too much water or he will continue drinking as long as water is in his bowl. He comes with a bowl, leash, muzzle, and dog clippers. He currently eats the yellow Costco dog food. He has a sensitive stomach so whatever you switch him to, he will have a couple of days of issues.
