Talk about right place at the right time with our foster mum & for beautiful Flower, her sister Bambi & her mum Mia. Our foster mum was at one of the very high kill shelters in CA for us rescuing a sweet soul when a family come along who were going to dump all 3. The usual disgusting story of, we are moving so we can’t take our beloved dogs with us story. Flower, Bambi & Mia were being dropped off at the shelter as they were moving & didn’t want them anymore. Thankfully our foster mum said we would help them & we did. Mia the mum had given birth to Flower & Bambi & at the tiny age of 8 weeks they were going to be dumped. Talk about cruel & heartless. Not to mention Mia of course was frightened & didn’t know what was going on? But those days are over for these beautiful babies. Without our outstanding foster mum this would not of happened & who knows what would of happened to this little angel, her sister & mum. Flower who is now looking for her very own forever home & who will never give up on her again & dump her & love her just as her foster mum & we do. After we got Flower all her care with her amazing foster mum she will be bought back to WA state from CA where she can’t wait to find her loving forever home. Flower a little lady, how could anyone dump her & let her down is shocking. Her foster mum said she is so very sweet & full of sweet puppy love of energy. She is your typical puppy of eat, poop, play sleep. Flower just wants to be loved. Disturbing to think of what almost happened to her. The level of absolute madness here is so deeply sad for many of these beautiful souls out of CA. Flower is such a good girl her foster mum said, she is super sweet, she is so quite & lives to be near you. You look at her & she looks straight into your soul. Flower is a good eater, she loves to eat & put on a few pounds since being rescued. Flower loves sleeping with her foster mum & wants to sleep with her & does not like to sleep alone. So we are only looking for a home where she can sleep with her family. Flower’s new forever home must have a fully fenced secured backyard for her safety. Flower has been great with her baths because she started having them with us the moment she was rescued so she is used to them. Flower rides beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & she rides in a car seat & is used to riding in one. She still needs continued work walking on her harness & leash. We are looking for a forever home for Flower where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. Flower loves other dogs & their company. She must go to a forever home with another dog present in the home who is young & playful just as Flower is. We are also looking for a crate free home for the little lady only. Flower is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love him as she should be loved & be patient with her & work on her potty training with her & teach her, her puppy manners. Flower has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she is currently with other dogs & was fostered in CA with other dogs & does well with them & enjoys their company. She must go to a home with other playful loving dogs in her forever home. Flower is roughly 1.6 years old & 28 lbs & is perhaps a spaniel terrier/Australian mini shepherd mix, but what she is mixed with we are not sure at all. She is female, being spayed by laser. Flower is, microchipped, given flea treatment, up to date on her shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies & dewormed. We have spent far more on Flower, with all of her medical care than her adoption fee comes close to even covering, her spay by laser, all of her puppy shots & shots, microchip transport feed bringing her back to WA state, etc. Flower has been around cats since being in the rescue in her foster home & could care less about the cat in her foster home but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together. We have not had her around small children so we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children. We were not there when Flower was conceived so we do not know who both her parents were but we do know who her mum is & she is in a picture with flower & we have her in the rescue also. But it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is. As with all of our rescues & Flower’s friends she will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Flower potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Flower has been through many traumas in her short time on this earth so when applying this needs to be kept in mind & for her care. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Flower & going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Flower who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this spirited little lady. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Flower has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.

What these sweet souls see, hear & endure is incomprehensible. Riot was part of a breeder dumping dogs. He actually wanted Riot & many others gone immediately in Indiana but was willing to work with us. We have to move fast because unfortunately in these situations, when they want them gone, there is no messing around for their health & safety. Being breeding dogs they are money making machines only & their time had come to an end with this breeder. Stunning Riot & his other 9 friends were living outside all day & night in cages. Once we knew about them, there was no way we were leaving them there. We organized to rescue all of them & our wonderful team drove & picked up everyone. Of course the were all so filthy & stinking so badly & some were matted to the skin & needing grooming immediately & medical care. He did not care & just wanted them gone. Rescuing the breeding dogs is an extremely expensive situation each time & it involves a lot of expenses in transportation & so much medical. Now the real healing, love & devotion could begin & show Riot how he is supposed to be loved & adored in a loving forever home & his other friends. Riot was bought back to WA state where he is now so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever family. The biggest angel you will have meet & even though humans have been so bitterly cruel to him he still loves people & wants to be with them. His world changed within hours of a phone call & a car ride along with his friends. No more living outside for this sweetheart of a boy in a cage. He now adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something he did not get to experience ever until he was rescued. Nor toys, love, his own bed. All the things he should of experienced. Everyone in our rescue loves this boy, he is so soft & gentle & so very sweet with everyone. He has gotten so happy & comfortable with us that when we took him in the car last time we think he thought he was going to somewhere bad again & got a little nervous & got car sick but once he realized he wasn’t going anywhere bad he was good. This boy is the biggest angel for how he was treated. In his previous foster home, he loves to be loved, held & cuddled. He has met several new people & been very social with everyone he meets. His foster mum in CO said she he was such a good boy from the day they rescued him & such a love. She said he is the sweetest boy you will ever meet. Riot is a wonderful eater. He would still need work walking on his harness & leash as it’s all completely new to him as he was never taught until we rescued him. He was just a breeding machine to make money off his back. This boy has been so good with all different breeds of dogs & has not met a dog he doesn’t like. We have tested Riot in a daycare environment & he has done well with both men & woman. Riot’s new forever home must have a fully fenced backyard. He now adores going outside & having a run & play & the freedom to enjoy being outside.

No more living outside for this girl in a cage. When she arrived she had urine stained fur & we have been working on trying to get remove that from her fur. We see this all the time with the dogs in cages sitting in their own filth & it takes so long to remove the urine stains that have built up. We ended up finding Bella a home immediately after coming to WA but after 2 months in her new home she was returned. We were told that she played originally non stop at first with her new brother & was doing so well in her new home. But then she started to not want to come back inside when it was time to come inside we were told. He also thought she was not fond of him. The new dad would have a hard time bringing her in & could not get her to come inside he said, so he returned her. Her previous foster home she did so good considering everything was new to her & they did not have a problem with her coming inside. She also loved her foster siblings. She adored having a comfy bed & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something she did not get to experience ever until she was rescued. Nor toys, love, her own bed.

She would still need work walking on her harness & leash as it’s all completely new to her as she was never taught until we rescued her. But she has done well considering.

Ember is a sweet and passionate dog who loves her owners and other animals. Her need for adventure makes her high energy. But she’s passionate and well behaved at home. Ember needs space where she can run and live among other animals. She does well with young children over the age of 5. Embers still working on some commands like come and stay. But knows the rest pretty well. She will need space to run and explore. Her parents want to ensure she gets a good home with some quality people. Unfortunately with their move they can’t afford to take her with them. So they want to make sure she’s right at home in quality place. We only have a few weeks left to give this girl a good home. So please help make it happen!

The living hell for these amazing souls is never ever ending. Sherry along with 4 babies & friends were listed for sale on an auction/sale page for dogs. Sherry’s mind body & soul was been used as a breeding machine in a puppy mill in Missouri to make money off her back. All of these beautiful dogs were outside 24/7. The woman who posted the add was supposed to be shutting down her breeding facility because she was pregnant & wanted the dogs gone, but at a cost of course. If we had not paid money to her they would have been sold again to continued to be used to breed & live a disgusting life in a cage outside in the stinking heat day after day then in the freezing cold in winter time. Her life was instantly changing in that moment & only for the better. On this day we rescued a total of 9 breeding mums & dads & puppies who all they knew was to breed in a life of hell & then being sold to start the cycle all over again. Of course when we rescue these amazing souls they have had no veterinary care whatsoever & we have to start from scratch. Now the real healing, love & devotion could begin & show Sherry how she is supposed to be loved & adored in a loving forever home. Sherry was flown back to the WA state from CO where she now is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home. Sherry is so sweet once she knows you & is comfortable with you. We don’t know how many liters of puppies she has already had but those days are over for this girl. Sherry when we picked her up was so overweight & how this happened we don’t know because we were shown pictures of her & she was a healthy weight but now she is losing weight to get her to where she is supposed to pet our vets. But she is good with her baths & adjusted to being groomed, but not a fan of the hairdryer but is getting used to it. For everything she has been through, she adapted quite quickly. Her foster mum in CO said she was so bonded with the other dogs because that’s all she knew. But once they got freedom & were able to run & be outside, they were so happy. She adores being picked up & held & cuddled they said, she just wants to be loved & she loves them back. The reality is, the foster homes are her real first experience at being in a home, with a tv, bedding she can snuggle up in, a roof over her head that’s not outside. She adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something she did not get to experience ever until she was rescued. She will want to snuggle up with you. She would still need work walking on her harness & leash as it’s all completely new to her. We have been teaching her to walk on a slip lead. She does not discriminate against breeds. Sherry rides beautifully in the car & considering the only times we know of was when she was rescued by us & going home with her foster family & then with us. But with us she sat there & enjoyed the ride. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lady only. Sherry as you can imagine spent the first part of her life in a caged environment. We are also looking for a forever home for Sherry where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. Sherry is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be patient with her & never give up on her. Sherry has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes in the rescue & in her foster home & she is currently with other dogs & adores other dogs. Sherry needs to go to a forever home with another dog or dogs in the home, she enjoys the company of other dogs & we currently have her with other dogs in her loving foster home. Please do not apply saying your neighbors have a dog or family members or you will take her to places where there are other dogs. That will not work, another dog or dogs is mandatory along with a fully fenced backyard. Sherry is roughly 26.lbs, she is 2 years old. She is a mini Australian shepherd & what she is mixed with we are not sure, female, she is spayed by laser by our wonderful vets. She had x-rays taken to make sure she wasn’t pregnant. She received a dental scale & polish, dental x-rays along with extractions, 1 premolar, 2 incisors minor & 2 minor molars. She is microchipped, had all her shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed. We have spent far more on Sherry with paying for her from a puppy mill breeder in Missouri. Bringing her to WA with her travel costs, her flight fees flying her to WA. All of her medical care in WA including, spay by laser etc & bringing her to WA then her adoption fee comes close to covering. Her adoption fee does not even come close to covering half of what we have spent on Sherry.

If we had not paid money to her they would have been sold again to continued to be used to breed & live a disgusting life in a cage outside in the stinking heat day after day then in the freezing cold in winter time. His life was instantly changing in that moment & only for the better. On this day we rescued a total of 9 breeding mums & dads & puppies who all they knew was to breed in a life of hell & then being sold to start the cycle all over again. Of course when we rescue these amazing souls they have had no veterinary care whatsoever & we have to start from scratch. Now the real healing, love & devotion could begin & show Rusty how he is supposed to be loved & adored in a loving forever home. Rusty was flown back to the WA state where he now is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever home. Look at this innocent little fluffy face. Rusty has the sweetest & loveliest personality in this tiny little body. He adores being picked up & carried & given love. He is currently being fostered with his brother. He adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something he did not get to experience ever until he was rescued. Nor toys, love, his own bed. All the things he should have experienced. In his current foster home, he loves to be loved, held & cuddled. He has met many new people & been very social with everyone he meets while he was in our vets care. His foster mum said he is such a good little boy & is learning. She also said Rusty is a sweet, loving puppy with plenty of energy and a fun spunky personality! He loves chasing balls & playing with toys & giving cuddles & kisses. He does stand up to his brother and even eggs him on. I love the way he pounces!  Please remember he is a puppy, he wakes up, he eats, poops pees, plays as plays then sleeps & the cycle continues. Rusty loves to eat & is a wonderful eater. He would still need work walking on his harness & leash as it’s all completely new to him as he is a puppy. He was being taught to walk on a slip lead. Being a puppy we have not taken him to any public places for his health. This boy has been so good with all different breeds of dogs. He is a puppy & still learning all his puppy manners. But is so very sweet & loving. Rusty’s new forever home must have a fully fenced backyard. He now adores going outside & having a wander around. Rusty rides beautifully in the car & is good with being bathed. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lad only. Rusty as you can imagine spent the beginning of his life in a caged environment. We are also looking for a forever home for Rusty where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. Rusty is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him & never give up on him. Rusty has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes in the rescue & in his foster homes & he is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company. It’s mandatory for him to go to a forever home with another dog present. Rusty’s forever home must have a fully fenced backyard, this is mandatory. Rusty is roughly 5 lbs & he is 10 weeks old & a ‭mini Aussie shepherd‬. He has put on weight since being in his loving foster home. What he is mixed with we are not sure, male, he will be neutered by laser by our wonderful vets, microchipped, receive his remaining shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed all under contract with ASTR by 6 months of age. We have spent far more on Rusty with paying for him from a puppy mill breeder to get him out with bringing him to WA with his travel costs, & flight costs, his medical care in WA, getting him neutered by laser, etc than his adoption fee comes close to covering. Rusty has not been around cats since being in the rescue & could care less but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had him around small children so we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Rusty was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Rusty’s friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Rusty potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Rusty & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on. Or you waste this rescues time, will remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx or zoom due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Rusty who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this special sweet little lad. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Rusty has an adoption fee of $1585 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.
