Story
We got Luna after she was abandoned near Mexico border. She was brought to us because we were looking for an energetic dog who was potty trained and ready to run with our family and other dog. She is young, vets say about 1.5 years old so still puppy energy and needs basic training but is eager to learn! She is potty trained and has used a dog door with us for the past 2 months. She is spayed. She loves to be loved! She is a cuddle bug for sure and is so soft! She has the basic husky look and personality but I don’t think she is purebred. She talks, she loves to run and she like the cool weather. She gets along great with other dogs and has potential I believe to be adventurous though she is shy at first and need some patience with new tasks. We need to find a home that does not have young children. She is skidish and reactive to young boys and their rambunctious behavior. She will do great in an active family with dogs and no small children, she may do ok with older kids.

Story
Meet Mack! A very loving boy who needs lots and lots of attention. Full of energy, but also has no problems getting up on the couch for lots of snuggles. Loves his toys and loves his treats! My wife and I having an almost 2 year old and a three month old it is getting harder for us to spend the time needed with Mack. This big boy deserves a home that can give him all the time and attention that he needs and deserves. We would recommend that he goes to a home that has older children, and no other pets.

Koko and Koda are 7years old, both are super friendly with Kids and other dogs. They both like to be cuddle and petted. Unfortunately I’m looking for another home for them because my son started to be allergic to dogs. I want someone that will take care of them and love them like a family member.

For this reason we use variable adoption pricing. By assigning higher adoption fees to high demand moms and puppies, we are able to rescue more families in need.The money raised through these adoptions acts as a benefactor to moms and puppies in our care who require expensive veterinary treatments, have behavioral issues, or need more time to find a home.
