My story

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

LADIES MAN!

Rover is a woman's best friend. He came to us as an energetic young man and quickly became the glue that holds the family together. Whether raising puppies, keeping grandma company, or comforting us in our time of need, Rover is an empathetic soul. In fact, that is how he has come to spend some time with our rescue--he stepped in and filled multiple different roles and therefore wasn't offered for adoption immediately due to his usefulness. But now, it is HIS turn to find a furever family instead of playing the role of counselor at the halfway house. He brightens our lives with his games of tug and softens our nights with his snuggles and puppy dog eyes. Rover is a top notch dog that LOVES to use his brain and would like a home where they will give him the opportunities to do it! Agility, food puzzles, etc are his jam.

Rover is crate trained, house trained, and has fabulous food AND toy motivation. He would love a home where he can be the star of the show.

Welcome to The Dog House! We get to know each one of our dogs personally during their training with us and strive to put the right dog, in the right home, the first time. Please understand that multiple families are often applying at the same time and it is our responsibility to match each dog with the best fit possible.

More about this rescue

The Dog House Rescue is the pet project of two dog lovers that wandered into a municipal animal shelter to pick up one new family member and left with seven. Like much of the public, we had mistakenly believed that most shelters are able to provide a no-kill haven for homeless animals. Due to overcrowding, the euthanasia rate at that facility is 80%. With the average dog having less than one week to find an adopter, it is easy to find great dogs who were simply born into an unfortunate situation.

We exist to help bridge the gap between loving homes seeking good citizen companions and good natured dogs looking for an opportunity to show their stuff. Those that have found themselves in a shelter (through no fault of their own) and would otherwise be euthanized for space are given medical treatment, spayed/neutered, and trained so that they may continue to be good citizens in their forever families.

All residents at The Dog House are considered family for life. We understand that personal tragedies happen. If a Dog House member is ever unable to continue in their adopted home, they are welcomed back with open arms. Having already survived the shelter once, our promise to them is to never be homeless again.
