Story

Misty was spotted in a large open field close to a freeway. She was seen hobbling. I attempted to go get her but the moment she spotted me, she ran with her back leg up. It almost seems impossible to catch her, so, we left food on that field every day for 3 weeks until we placed a trap. She was so emacited, so sad, so broken. She went into a foster home and that is where she flourished. She loves dogs, she is housetrained, she is learning commands quickly and she loves to cuddle. She turned out to be the perfect dog! She didn't need surgery for her leg, only steroid shots that will last a few weeks. She is ready to call a family hers.

Story

We’d like to shine a light on a couple of adult large breed dogs dear to us with another small, local rescue Boxers Mutts & Wiggle Butts Rescue Please help share their dogs, give them a follow, and show them some of the amazing support you show us.❤️🐾❤️ First, we have Sookie! We first learned of Sookie 8 months ago. A property owner saw her and another dog thrown out of a pickup truck abandoned in the orchards. The man admitted to shooting at her several times. She was skin and bones when found. Unable to take her in ourselves, we offered to sponsor her food during her time in rescue. At the time we had donations from The Honest Kitchen and that was the best food to help her to gain weight and get back to being healthy. @boxersmuttsnwigglebuttsrescue have done an amazing job getting Sookie healthy and happy again. Sookie is a boxer, 3.5 years old. She LOVES belly rubs but she’s no couch potato, she’d prefer being your running buddy. She knows sit, wait, come, crate and potty trained. She’s great with kids and is gentle with toys. Reach out to her rescue to learn more! 🐾❤️ Get to know Sookie and we are sure she will win your heart. Here is a little bit about her: * LOVES people, adults and kids * very high energy * needs to be the only dog. Not dog/cat friendly * knows sit * knows wait * comes when called * crate trained * is soft with toys and learning fetch * Loooves belly rubs

Hades birthday is March 26th 2020. We were gifted him by my brother in December 2021. My husband wanted me to have a dog he knew would protect me if he couldnt. In August 2023 my husband passed away. I have to move in with family that is severely allergic to animals. He is kennel trained. He responds to commands such as sit, wait, night night time, lay down, drop it, drink some water :) He loves playing fetch and tug of war, and is the smartest dog I have ever had.

Story

Bree is an outdoor dog due to human’s allergies however could be trained to indoors since she is already crate trained. She is super sweet and chill, she’s not the dog to go on walks, she’d rather be in your lap or sunbathing. She’s shy at first, but eventually warms up. We will provide a 24lb bag of food as well as her crate “house”. She does well with smaller dogs, but probably not cats.
