My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

THOMAS was found on the street on early January 2023. He was a "rejected
Christmas present, because he was still wearing a red ribbon and a new
collar. No one claimed him. He was roughly 3 months old. He was starving
and looking for food in a street food stall.
He is very friendly, happy and affectionate. Bonds very fast with new people.
Currently lives in a small foster/shelter home with larger dogs, which
sometimes stress him with their barking. Sleeps with his rescuer. Likes to be
cuddled and under the covers. He protects his human owner. Excellent and
well behaved companion.
Energy level low- medium.
Potty trained on patio or during walks.
Ok with dogs in general. Takes his time to sniff them and feel comfortable.
Likes to play a lot with dogs with similar size. May feel intimidated at the
beginning with larger dogs. Has not been with cats.
He protects his resources specially if his human is nearby. But won't be
aggressive.
He has a very elegant and perfect pace on leash. He likes to go for walks with
another dog beside him. May get anxious on busy roads with cars.
Ok in crate, but not his favorite thing.

More about this rescue

501c3 non-profit l est 2019 l

We have been fostering dogs since early 2019 through various rescues.

What better way to showcase them then in a playful, happy, loving environment with other loving dogs in our community.

Recently we have started changing things as we are looking for our pups to go into foster homes/foster to adopt. 


We typically fly dogs in from over capacity shelters in Texas, drive puppers over from Yakima, and still have an amazing relationship with a partnering rescue in Mexico.
