Foster dog Dawn is still in need of her forever home and has been here now for a couple of months.
Dawn has had her vaccines updated and she has been spayed under my care. She has been working on leash manners, e collar work, along with her foundation obedience as well.
Although Dawn came to us very unsure of strangers she’s warmed up quickly to myself, my partner, and all of my handlers/assistants and their kids too! She needs a person or family who will be patient and provide her the time she deserves to get acclimated with her new people and home.
Dawn loves to play with toys. She’s an active dog who would enjoy daily walks and outings like jogging and hiking. She loves car rides and is curious about the world. She doesn’t seem to be picky at all when it comes to food and she’ll eat just about anything that you give her. She’s been seen recently by a veterinarian and has received a clean bill of health.
This girl definitely has hops so she’d do best in a home with a tall fence or a wireless fence set up. She could also potentially be an amazing apartment dog for the right active individual who provides for her mental and physical outlet needs daily. Dawn isn’t a type of dog that likes to be left out in a backyard for long periods of time and would prefer to be with her people or kenneled when not supervised.
Dawn does well around non timid cats who aren’t flighty (she’s extremely good with my cats as they are dog socialized) and she’s been good around my well socialized dogs and bootcampers. It’s important for her to have good boundaries and structure in her new home to set her up for success.
She’s around the age of two and is a 40lb Heinz husky mix. I have no clue what she might be mixed with but I would be extremely curious to see DNA results if anyone ever checks!
She’s been on adventures to local parks, hikes, Grange, Diamond, and Home Depot many times since she’s been under my care.
Her adoption fee has dropped to
Tezza has been a fun dog to work with since his arrival.
He is a one year old standard poodle looking for a performance/sport home. He’s smart as hell, athletic, drivey, food motivated, and would be a great investment for someone interested in doing UKC/AKC events. He has a TON of potential and is doing fantastic during his board and train time. He’s out going and sociable with adults and children along with other dogs. I absolutely love his temperament.
Please contact Mount Mazama Kennels directly for more information about this boy

Ace the Walker Hound spending some time with my crew who are well balanced dogs that know how to communicate properly with one another.
Bootcampers get worked one on one and also get to enjoy time out with my dogs while still creating opportunities for training.
When the handlers are here often we work multiple bootcampers at the same time as well.
Any time can be training time. The more often we implement little things here and there, the less it seems like we are “going out of our way to train” and the more likely both you and your dog will follow through with creating better habits. Often it’s not just the dog who needs training but the people too.
Even my cat has a good recall 😉

A few of my dogs and Izzy my foster dog.
Izzy is estimated to be about five years old and is a poodle x golden retriever cross.
Although she co-exists well with my dogs and my bootcampers, she would be best as an only pet. Izzy does wonderful in a structured environment with rules and boundaries. She is very well e collar trained and her adoption fee will include brush up foundation obedience training along with her mini educator.
Izzy is potty trained, kennel trained, knows ”watch me”, sit, down, stay, wait, leave it, here/recall, place, and has great leash manners.
She would do best in an adult only home. She is current on her vaccinations and eats Science Diet prescription c/d.
If you may be interested in meeting Izzy please call me at 714-388-5615
Located in Klamath Falls/Dairy, Oregon.
