Sienna's journey has had a challenging start, found as a stray, pregnant, and scared. Only to have her unborn puppies E-listed at the shelter. Her only desire was to protect her babies. Since coming into rescue, she has blossomed into a sweet, silly, and playful girl.

Not only was Sienna a dedicated momma to her ten puppies, but she also was a surrogate to two orphaned puppies, nurturing them with the same love and care. Thanks to her, they are now thriving.

Sienna's gentle nature extends to all dogs. She's the resident greeter in her foster home, welcoming newcomers with open paws and adjusting her play style to ensure everyone feels at ease. Whether it’s a playful romp in the yard or a cozy cuddle on the couch, Sienna is the perfect blend of sweet affection and joyful energy.

Fully crate, potty, and leash trained, Sienna is ready to find her forever family who will cherish her love and playful spirit. If you're looking for a furry friend who will bring warmth and happiness into your life, Sienna is waiting for you!

🎊 SHELTER PUPDATE: Cleo was pulled from the E-list 6 weeks ago due to her Valley Fever diagnosis. She has been resting up in her foster home and is feeling so much better. 💤 So much, in fact, that this lovable 1-year-old, 48 lb, slim Pittie/Dobie mix is finally ready to start looking for a forever home! 🥳

Cleo is such a sweet girl, definitely a Velcro dog and wants to be as close as possible to you. 🥰 She is gentle when playing with small dogs and when taking treats. 🍖

She is crate trained and walks in and out on command with ease. It’s actually one of her favorite places to be! 🆒

Cleo is a couch potato with occasional zoomies but loves a good adventure. 🛋️ 🥔 She mostly walks well on a leash but can pull when she is curious or sees other animals, and she is working on that. 🦮

She loves all people, big or small (great with kids!), especially if they pet her and give her attention. 💕

Whether you’re looking for a snuggle buddy or an adventure partner, Cleo is sure to bring joy to your life! 🐶🐱

‼️ Hi All,
We need a new foster for Apollo (or adopter, of course!). Can someone please please help? All of our fosters are full, and we have no where to put him. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Apollo loves all the best things in life: playing with his toys, playing fetch, wrestling, going on long walks, snacky snacks, and a good nap. 🎾🤼🦮🍖💤 W

🐶 Big dogs are great! Apollo loves to wrestle and chase.

❌ 🐱 He thinks cats are a toy and will chase them.

✅✅ He is crate and house trained.

😇 He does not chew furniture or things that don’t belong to him. He does not dig in the yard, either.

💓 This gentle giant takes treats so sweetly and loves to get deep ear rubs and snuggles.

🧑🏽👍🏼 He loves children, but he is a big boy and does jump when excited and jumps on laps, so older kids are best.

This former E-lister was saved from death at county, but that’s only half the job. We need to find him a great family, but for now, a new foster is needed.

Please reach out to us ASAP if you can help. 🙏🏼

Beautiful Cashmere is still waiting for her forever home. 🥺 This loving girl has endured more heartbreak than any dog should. 💔 Once a stray, she was taken to county and placed on the euthanasia list—while fully pregnant. Tragedy struck when she lost her entire litter of puppies in a traumatic birth that left her in the emergency hospital.

But somehow, against all odds, Cashmere found the strength to keep going. ❤️‍🩹 Today, she is a sweet, calm, smiley, and deeply loving soul who just wants to be someone’s loyal companion!

At 3 years old, this stunning white Shepherd/Husky mix checks so many boxes:
🏠 House-trained & kennel-trained
🥰 A professional cuddle expert
🚗 Loves car rides & peaceful walks 🦮
🐱 Happy to coexist with cats
💯 Fully vetted, spayed, and microchipped

Cashmere is dog-selective—she used to love all dogs, but after everything she’s been through, she’s more cautious now. She’d thrive as an only dog or with another calm, respectful dog.

She’s survived so much. Now, she just needs someone to believe in her. There are lots of people who only want one dog. We’d love to introduce them to Cashmere. 🤍

Please give this incredible girl the happy ending she deserves. She’s waited long enough. Apply at poundpuppyz.com or share her post to find her people.

Meet Hubie! 🩶 This sweet pup who was found roaming the busy streets at a young age, but he’s now ready to find his forever home! Around 5 months old, Hubie is believed to be a schnauzer mix and is full of playful puppy energy—so cardboard and paper products, watch out! 😜

Hubie loves to greet everyone at the door with a wagging tail and lots of excitement! He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and even cats. 🐶 ➕ 🐱 This energetic little guy thrives on playtime and enjoys hanging out with his furry friends at his foster home. While Hubie tolerates his x-pen for meals and bedtime, he’d much rather be part of the action due to his FOMO (fear of missing out). 😆

He’s already doing well with potty training but could use a little more puppy training and socialization. The good news is that Hubie is eager to learn and highly motivated by treats! 🍖 If you’re looking for a playful, loving companion who’s ready to grow with you, Hubie might be the perfect match. 💘

Hyde: A Tiny Survivor with a Big Personality! 🐮

Little Hyde’s journey started rough— taken from his mama far too soon, he was rescued from some bad people by a fellow rescuer. 😟 His beginning may have started out bleak, but thankfully, Sienna, our resident rescue mama, stepped up once again to nurture another orphaned pup, just like she did for Tank. 🥹 Under her watchful eye, gentle guidance, and motherly love, Hyde has blossomed into the spunky, animated, and confident puppy he was meant to be.

Now 9 weeks old, Hyde is already working on potty training and adores all dogs and people! He’s playful, affectionate, and ready to find a forever home where he’ll continue learning everything a growing pup needs—socialization, training, and, most of all, love. 💕

Hyde’s story could have ended differently, but thanks to Sienna and his rescue family, he’s here and ready for his next chapter. Could that be with you?

Because Facebook is cracking down on links in posts, please visit our website (same name of our rescue) to put in an application for Hyde! 🖤🤍

Parker is a little fella with the big heart. ♥️ He is a People Dog - hopelessly devoted! There is nothing sweeter than the look of pure adoration on his face when he greets you. 😍 Such a love bug!

Parker likes to chase cats so a cat-free home is best. ❌🐱 He is nervous when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly, so just a bit of patience is needed.

He would love a warm lap to sit on and a home to call his own. He is OK with 1-2 other dogs but is also perfectly happy being your One and Only pup so as to secure allll the snuggles. 🥰

This former E-lister Senior needs a safe, quiet place to land. 🥺 He promises to fill you days with lots of love, cuddles, and cute moments.

We are still reeling and trying to catch our breath from 40+ Puppy Palooza 2024/25 😮‍💨, but as the dust settles and the puppies finish their last round of shots and finish the vetting process, we want to make sure that our last few don’t get lost in the shuffle as we focus on some of our longtime adults and our new Country Crooner litter! 🎶 🤠

If you are in Puppy Mode, you cannot go wrong with one of these four remaining puppies. 🤩 They’re PERFECT - already potty trained, sleeping through the night, socializing, starting to walk on a leash, dog and kid friendly, easily trained around cats. THE TOTAL PACKAGE! 💯

💙 Oscar — last puppy of the 1940s Litter, 15 weeks, husky/lab mix, mama is our sweet Bella. Shy, darling, calm, cuddly, affectionate, cutest tuxedo! 🤵🏻‍♂️

💙 Biscotti — last male puppy of the Cookie Litter, 16 weeks, mystery mix, Mama is our angelic Sienna. Goofy, playful, epic zoomies, snugglebug! 🥰

🩷 Peanut Blossom — last female puppy of the Cookie Litter and the runt! 16 weeks, mystery mix, Mama is our angelic Sienna. Tiny but mighty! Vivacious, outgoing, sassy, keeps the big dogs in line, Queen Bee! 👑

💙 Jetty — came into rescue as a single puppy, 13 weeks, Chi/small Lab mix. Nicknamed “Mighty Mouse” as he roughhouses as hard as the big dogs and doesn’t know he is small. Snuggly, playful, smart, ADORABLE! 💪🏼🐭

We’d love to see these precious pups find their furever families sooner than later. 🤞 They don’t need to grow up in rescue. 🥲 If you’re been on the fence, here’s your sign: 🪧 It’s time to adopt! 😉

A Huge Thank You to the Independent Festival Trapping Team! 🙏🏼

Sakura (now Dini) was a last-minute, E-list, rescue who was struggling terribly at the shelter. She had to be netted and restrained, and she wouldn’t let anyone touch her. Her amazing foster saw through the “mean” facade and knew there was a girl worth rescuing inside of her! She saved Dini from the shelter and got her home, but fear got the best of Dini. That clever girl managed to open a window in her quiet room, break a screen, and take herself on an unchaperoned adventure through Wittmann.

Enter the incredible Independent Festival Trapping Team. Our wonderful friends at K9 Konnection put us in touch with this amazing group who immediately jumped into action. They set up cameras and traps, shared her information on social media, hung flyers all over the area, and even used a drone to search the desert from above. When we finally got a sighting, they worked nonstop for several days — baiting traps, watching cameras, updating maps, and adjusting tactics as Dini ventured closer and closer back to her foster home until SHE WAS TRAPPED AND SAFE!!! 🥳

Without their expertise and dedication, this scared pup with an injured paw, who didn’t yet know or trust her foster family, might not have been found for a long time. It truly takes a village, and we are beyond grateful for these ladies’ quick response, skill, and compassion. Because of them, (Hou)Dini is now safe and sound where she belongs! 🥳

Since returning from her field trip, Dini has done a 180° turn. Gone are the days of the terrified snapping and snarling. She gives hugs and kisses, has learned to walk on a leash, is obsessed with her foster parents, and loves being an indoor dog. We are THRILLED at her progress!

Thank you for your help, from the bottom of our hearts! ♥️
