We are a small, family run, large breed rescue. Because we believe that training, or a lack thereof, is often the cause for large pets showing up in shelters, we take every dog we rescue into our home for temperament testing, socializing and training.
We also offer training and advice to current dog owners to help keep their dogs in their homes.
How it all started:
I went to school for veterinary medicine and have always loved and been surrounded by animals. Originally I volunteered for several Southern California rescues and shelters, but people I knew or worked with would often come to me for training, behavior advice or pets that needed to find a home. After a few years of helping to train other people's dogs and unofficially finding homes for dozens of animals, I decided to do it "officially"! I started Citizen Kanine and have had no regrets!
I have been training and puppy raising assistance dogs for over 15 years and also have my AKC CGC evaluator's certification.
