Hugo went home after 2 weeks board and train. He learned how to be more respectful, how to interact with other dogs, and how to practice holding positions, building work ethic and attention. His owners said he was so good and even laid in his bed politely! Good boy Hugo! More in home lessons to bridge the training and he is on a good path for success

Yay!!! Happy Tails Zeke

Some happy news!!

We are overjoyed to announce that Zeke, our sweet cleft palate German Shepherd puppy, has officially been adopted into his forever home! Zeke has been with us for quite some time, and we are beyond grateful to the wonderful adopters who chose to give him the loving family he truly deserves.

Zeke has had a long journey, and we couldn't be more thrilled to see him finally settle into the life he's always deserved. With his foster mama’s dedication and care, Zeke has blossomed into the confident, happy, and healthy big guy we always knew he could be. Her commitment to him has been extraordinary, and we are so proud of how far he's come.

Thank you to Zeke’s new family for opening their hearts to this special pup. We are so thankful for every adopter who chooses to give a special needs animal like Zeke the chance to thrive. We have no doubt that Zeke will continue to grow and bring endless joy to his new home. Welcome home, big dude! 💙

Zeke- a sweet German Shepherd puppy with a heart as big as his beautiful soul.
Despite being born with a cleft palate, Zeke is thriving and proving every day that he’s just as lovable and deserving of a forever home as any other pup. He’s been patiently waiting, but we know the right family is out there, ready to give him the love he deserves.
Zeke is a happy little guy who’s learning his commands, making great strides with his potty training, and has been well socialized with other dogs. His playful spirit and loving nature will bring so much joy to any home.
We desperately want to see Zeke find his forever family. If you or someone you know is looking for a sweet, special puppy, please consider opening your heart and home to him. Share Zeke’s story and help us find the loving family he deserves.

Let’s give Zeke the chance to be a beloved part of a family!

After 1 whole month of puppy board and train, Sarabi finally went home and she got her first in-home lesson to bridge the training! She is a smart and fun little girl and was a joy to work with. With that intelligence comes some serious training with her owners now! 4 lessons are included with her board and train package and we will be helping the owners retain success! She also started Mountain Bound Hounds with our Wednesday group today! So thrilled to be able to help start this girl off right!

Lincoln might just be the perfect “starter mal” that will surprise you with how chill he is and charm you with his ravishing, good looks. At about 2 years old and a solid 60 lbs, this youngster is perfectly happy just chilling and hanging out with his people. If you want to do something active, he is happy to pal along but if that something is just soaking up some rays in the backyard, he is content as well. If he had a preferred spot in the house it would most definitely be on the couch or trying to sit one someone's lap.

During Lincoln’s time in foster, he has not really “mastered” any commands, but he is diligently working on Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Place, and Drop it. Lincoln is food and praise motivated for training. He is a sensitive soul, so no harsh corrections as a raised voice makes him shrink.

Lincoln is dog friendly, (not tested with cats) and would love to have a fur sibling. If Lincoln sounds like the perfect fit (and who wouldn't want this sweet, marshmallow Mal??), visit https://www.woofproject.org/lincoln to read a little more about him and put in an application.

Lincoln is located in Eagle Point, OR, but transport along the I5 corridor is available.

One of my favorite guys here...No fuss, Easy recall, wants to please and no aggression or aggressive behaviors..Is he too perfect for a family??
Lardon...young and found as a stray and so ready to find a family that won't dump him like his last family. Shepherd mix, vetted, crate trained, and my list goes on about how good of a young dog I am under 1yr old.

Welcoming Roxy to our board and train program! She was graciously and heroically rescued as a stray by her new owner who is a previous client! She is skittish and learning to build communication and trust. She is doing very well and taking food by hand. She has a long way to go to truly come out of her shell. But she is going to become a nice dog! Her first steps are following and learning leash manners, feeding by hand, learning markers, and bonding. Day 2 and she is eating all her food by hand willingly
