Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Duncan Doggie, He is a 5 year old 67 pound Pit Bull (possibly a mix, there is no way to really know for sure in rescue) that has a lot of love to give but will need some special care in his furever home. Duncan has a lot of love to give and is overall a very happy and healthy boy but it took a lot of time, love and some medical care to get him there.  Duncan Doggie was found dumped on the grounds of Avenal State Prison in California June of last year and no one really knows how he got there. He was covered in wounds that were either from other dogs or coyotes, missing a majority of his fur, skin rubbed raw, and a lot of his teeth were broken. A volunteer at the Avenal shelter posted a TikTok in hopes that a rescue would pull him and give him the medical attention he needed and the love he deserved, that is where I found him. I instantly fell in love with him and drove the 1800 mile round trip to pick him up and bring him back to Northern Utah.    He is the biggest love bug and will gladly accept scratches and cuddles from any humans big or small! He loves to run around in the yard, play tug of war, play fetch, and if you are lucky he will even bring the ball back to you! True to his breed he also loves being lazy, he has his favorite purple minky that he stole from me and will go with him to his forever home for him to cuddle to his heart's content. He currently lives with children aged 3-14 and he is wonderful with all of them, sometimes he will get the wiggle butts and his tail could make him considered armed and dangerous, other than that though he is a complete sweetheart. Unfortunately due to his past he is fear reactive to any adult dogs and an addendum will be included in his adoption contract. He has loved every single puppy I've fostered in the last 8 months like it was his own but any adult dogs at home or in public terrify him and make him get full body shakes and then turn to aggression if he can't be removed from the other dog immediately.    Since having Duncan here he has made huge strides in his health and he has been the happiest, most loving foster from the second I picked him up. We discovered that his fur was missing and skin was raw due to food allergies, he needs to be on a grain and poultry free diet to prevent that from happening again in the future, he is currently eating a salmon based food and thriving on it. In addition to his allergies he was in need of a complete dental and is down 14 teeth but that doesn't stop him from eating dry food and enjoying treats like any other dog. He is resilient and has not let a single negative thing slow him down, he is truly a special dog.   If you are interested in giving this handsome man a safe and happy home where he can be an only dog you can apply to meet him at  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! I’m Trochee! I’m a 60lb, 2 year old boy, bundle of SO many mixes (Siberian Husky, Samoyed, American Staffordshire terrier…)   I’m potty trained and walk super well on a leash. I LOVE going on walks, meal times, treats but can I be honest? I’m happiest  when I’m getting snuggled- feeling loved and safe is the absolute best. My foster mom says I’m good-natured, silly and people-loving.   I used to live in a shelter, and that was pretty lonely. Right now I live with my foster mom and TWO puppies! Playing with them is so fun, and I try to be very careful so I don’t hurt them, since they’re so small. I’ve also lived with dogs my size (male and female) and have played so well with them! We even found out recently that I am good with dog-savvy cats!   My crate is SO fun- it’s especially fun to run away and hide when it’s time to get in… I’m working on it. IF you can find me and put me in my crate, I stay in there quietly and sleep through the night. I’m also working on not jumping like a maniac when I’m excited to see you… but I’m EXCITED to see you!!   Real talk? I’ve never had a forever family before. I’ve been growing up in shelters and foster homes, and it’s kind of scary to get my hopes up… but here I am, hoping to have my very own home some day.  If you think I’m the goofball for you, apply to meet me at: https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 25, 2025, 3:09 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hey there potential human! I'm Tase, the boss pup you've been waiting for. I'm a 50-pound Bull Terrier mix, smart, athletic, and let's face it, pretty amazing. Let's get down to business:   House-trained? Check. Crate-trained? Check. But let's not overdo it - I prefer being out and about when you're home. I'm an active guy with impressive jumping skills, so a secure yard is a must.    Now I do get along with other dogs, but here's the thing: I would like a home where I can be the star of the show. Training and attention? Give me all of it! I'm about 2 years old, super smart, and catch on quickly but I love and need the mental stimulation that training can give me. I love training and already know a lot of obedience and a few tricks. It's easy! Just grab a treat and you've got my attention.    I'm looking for an owner who can match my energy and smarts. Training, mental stimulation, and clear boundaries are what I thrive on. But it's not all action all the time; I'm a pro at chill time too. Need a dog who will lean against you and sit on your feet? I can do that!   So, if you're ready for an adventurous, cuddly, and somewhat bossy best friend, I'm your guy. Let's meet and conquer life together!

In rescue tho, that's not 100% guaranteed, and many people have guessed that I am an American Bulldog. I am 1 year old and weigh in at about 50lbs and should be pretty much full grown - tho I might fill out some more as I mature. I love to play, play and play some more. I can be a bit dog selective (I do better with females) but me and my doggie friends have great time playing all day. I also love my toys and I especially love my tennis ball. I could play ball with you all day! I LOVE FETCH. I am potty trained and crate trained. I know how to use a doggy door and so far I get along with the cats I've met.  I am a young boy, exuberant and energetic. I could use help with manners and my doggie interactions. I am hoping for a family who is patient and understanding, committed to training to help me become the best dog I can be. In return, you will have my loyalty, the best snuggles and all my love!
