Hammy is a male German Shepherd located in Los Vegas NV. He was one of our first dogs we pulled from the euthanasia list at the start of our rescue journey. He came from a confiscation case along with his brother, Luke, who is also in our rescue. He’s a sweet boy, outgoing, very loyal, but does need firm boundaries when he demands attention. Hammy is very easy to handle as long as he has some boundaries. Hammy is great with other people and dogs, but can resource guard from people he is unfamiliar with. We think Hammy just needs an adopter who will provide the attention and socialization he needs as he has been in two foster homes and boarding since being rescued.

He is also crate trained. He responds to corrective sounds that he will instantly stop and give you his attention for. With his foster, he is slowly being introduced to people and other dogs. He is hesitant and displays a form of fear towards some people which needs to be monitored and controlled. Towards dogs, Chase has exhibited tremendous improvement and just wants to play.

Tony is a good listener and loves to be praised as a "good boy." Plus, he is crate trained and ready to be a part of a loving household.

Qiqi is looking for a home where he will get lots of walks, good food, and lots of love. He would prefer a home where he is the only dog, but there could be another dog in the household if he has time to get accustomed to that dog. At about 3.5 years old and 85lbs, he looks forward to a home that can give him attention and exercise. Like all German Shepherd dogs, he prefers to be with his owner all the time and if he is left alone for a short while, he will be super excited to see you again. Qiqi knows a couple commands such as sit, paw, and lay and looks forward to his chicken treats that he loves. Playing ball with Qiqi is still a work in progress, because he goes after the ball without a problem, but bringing it back is still a challenge. He loves playing in his kiddie pool when it is shower time and enjoys playing with the water. He was left at a shelter by his family and rescued by us. He has begun to trust humans again and is such a loving companion.
Meet Goofy! Goofy is just about a year and a half old, and is an American Bully and Labrador Retriever mix.

Goofy also loves any comfy bed or couch to lounge on. He will succeed in a family environment with a fenced backyard with plenty of walks and socialization. Goofy is a young dog that would also benefit from patience and training to ensure he is a good canine citizen. Goofy is located in Northridge, CA.
Meet Kuma! Kuma is a male German Shepherd mix. His foster mom calls him a stage 5 clinger as he is a velcro dog who is very attached! Balls are life, Kuma will want to play with you when he's not cuddling you! In fact, even when you're in the shower, he'll want to play! He loves to drop his ball in the shower with you so you have to throw it for him, and if you're not paying attention, he might even try and sneak in the shower while you're in it! Kuma had a rough start in life and is very sensitive, so he will need a confident, active leader that understands his breed and will love sharing all their space with him at all times! His foster mom thinks he would do best in a home without kids, but he is okay with small dogs, and if Kuma is introduced slowly, he is also fine with larger dogs! He does get a little scared around other dogs when on the leash, but his foster mom is helping him, and with some time he has already improved a lot! Kuma also knows basic obedience and is improving day by day! He is currently located in Las Vegas, NV.
Meet Charlie! Charlie is an American Foxhound who is about 7 months old. He spent most of his life in the shelter at such a young age, not being properly socialized and experiencing the joys of life like he deserved. Due to this, Charlie will need continuous future training until he significantly improves. In his foster home, he tends to resource guard his area and space. He is also easily startled when people walk in the house or past him unexpectedly, causing him to react by biting them. We definitely think Charlie's resource guarding originated in the shelter, where dogs are easily stressed, insecure, and competitive over the little resources they are given. However, when Charlie is outside, he does great with everyone, including people and dogs. Charlie will need an experienced handler to adopt him. This deserving boy is currently located in Chico, CA.

Meet Bonnie, a loving one year old German Shepherd seeking her forever home. Bonnie has a gentle heart and craves affection, though her past has made her a bit skittish. Initially, she may seem nervous and throw herself on the ground, but with patience, she blossoms into a cuddly companion who adores belly rubs. Bonnie is friendly with everyone she meets—dogs, kids, and adults alike—and shows no signs of aggression. She’s energetic and enjoys both indoor and outdoor activities, whether it’s running and playing with other dogs or relaxing indoors.

She is a husky mix, maybe with some dingo. She has not been left alone for long periods of time, so for a busier household, she will probably have to get used to staying in the crate without anyone at home. She likes her chew toys. Peaches would do great in a family household or any household in general that can give her the attention and activity she needs!
