A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...
VRC employee hero of the day; Jenna! She spotted this little hound dog on the interstate tonight. Thankfully, she had a collar with a name tag, so we were able to reunite with the owner within minutes :)
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...
From the swamps of Louisiana to the woods of East Texas, to the mountain tops and hollers of West Virginia, this is where you will find Villalobos Rescue Center.
Our West Virginia location is small and closed to the public. We house a small group of dogs here while we assess them for our prison dog training program at Rockview Prison in PA.
Thankfully our kennels here are indoor/outdoor and are heated. But Kodiak the Tibetan Mastiff says "This is my favorite time of the year!" This big Grizzly Bear of a dog came in as a rescue and was adopted out by Orlando, who oversees this location.
Looks like someone is going to have a white Christmas!

Just another normal day :)

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...
Some of you may recognize this litter of Hound/Lab pups that M2 rescued a couple of weeks ago after they were found abandoned at a property in Assumption Parish.
Today, she wanted to highlight them and do a fun video, but it turns out the only one that got highlighted was M2 š¤£
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...
A peek into our wolfdog sanctuary in Texas: Villalobos Rescue Center - TEXAS
I always say that if hounds were fluffy...they would be wolfdogs: escape artists, make lots of noise and are trouble looking for a place to happen. Yup...same dog! Haha!
HOW DO YOU NOT LOVE AN OLD HOUND DOG NAMED ALLEN?
Those of us who have known Allen for years have watched this video over and over, and our tears of happiness cannot stop flowing.
You see, Allen has a form of doggie autism. If you look up autism in humans, Allen's behavior checks off all the boxes. And for this reason, we chose to not adopt him out. He struggles with many things, such as the slightest change in routine or his environment. He will panic for hours on end if anything changes. His personality/temperament has also been know to go to extremes when stressed.
Recently, we hired this young man who had no experience with dogs. But there was something different about himāsomething very special. And quickly, he managed to snuggle his way into Allen's life. I'm pretty sure if Allen could talk, the words you hear in this video would be his.
(Allen is also a part of our sponsorship program: https://vrcpitbull.com/dogs/allen/ )
"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man"

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ... Blame it on the Bluetick!
Mariah's photographer skills are put to the test again as she attempts to get pics of Bondurant our Virginia imported Bluetick Coonhound.
It looks like there will have to be a Part 2 to this story. Ha!
CANCER, SCHMANCER...
Marlow Mae has cancer but this little hurricane ain't slowing down anytime soon!
THE 90 DOG FIANCE DOGS ARE ON THEIR WAY!
Ten dogs left VRC this morning. We are so thankful for the foster homes that stepped up to help these dogs have the best 90 days of their lives (until they hopefully get a permanent home of their own)
And as you can hear, Mariah and Lisel are already discussing on who they think might become foster-failures! We love them the most!
I will keep everyone posted as each dog is dropped off.
If you are interested in becoming a 90 Dog FiancƩ foster home, email us at: [email protected]
