My story

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

Meet Tippy!

Tippy is a beautiful 5-year-old red heeler with a cautious but sweet nature. Her world has recently changed a lot, and she's still adjusting, so she's feeling a bit nervous right now.

Tippy comes from a unique background-she lived with a single man and five other dogs. While she had plenty of canine company, she often kept to herself, preferring her own space. Like many reservation dogs, Tippy is a little more careful and reserved, having been overstimulated by the energy of chaotic dogs around her.

Despite her nerves, Tippy has a lot of potential to thrive in the right environment. She just needs patience, understanding, and the chance to build trust at her own pace. With the stability of a calm, loving home, Tippy's loyal and intelligent heeler nature is sure to shine through. She's ready to form a deep bond with someone willing to give her the time and care she deserves!

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.
