Last night we had 4 new 6month old puppies dropped off at our Kennels at by a handicapped man who was unable to care for them. We have 1 fawn female, 3 black brindle males.

Though they don't have any training , they had been socialized and handled a lot, so they're friendly puppies. I don't have names for them yet but we'll get there as we spend more time with them.

We have a TON of puppies and young dogs in right now, as well as a huge variation of sizes, shapes and ages to fit everyone's needs. If I had my way, I'd love it if each dog we have in right now would find it's way home before the holidays.

There's been a lot of things happening behind the scenes this week! 8 dogs were adopted, including Matisse, TWICE!

Matisse was adopted but then returned because his adopter didn't follow our introductions and may not have had correct expectations. But in a turn of events, he was adopted, this time by a wonderful woman named Lucy with experience and know all in the breed!

I'm a big believer in fate and I know that dogs are high frequency beings, when they set their mind on something, they get it! Matisse knew where he belonged and Presto Manifesto he got it!

Here's to new beginnings, Matisse

Meet my Guy!

We have 2 huskies from the rescue raid in Nevada County still currently with us.

I've been spending a ton of time with the male we are affectionately calling " The Guy" because he's become our fuzzy buddy out on our farm. It's become a fun little thing and he seems to enjoy it.

What really gets me about The Guy is that he was once someone's loved and adored Pet. He has exceptional manners, he enjoys nice food, he is house trained, crate trained, has a recall, doesn't run away, and has solid obdience training behind him and some how, he was surrendered to the a high kill shelter, then taken to a s**t bird rescue in the middle of the woods.

I believe dogs have a journey and there is a reason he is with me. I am determined to give him back the life he deserves. I am a breed specific Cane Corso Rescue and he is a breed that is filling the shelter's euthanasia lists almost triple as much as other breeds so that makes it more challenging.

💜3ish years old
💜trained
💜dog friendly
💜fine with older kids

Can we find Guy a home? I think so. Will you share him? Will you like and comment so he gets seen? Will you give him a home?

These baby girls were saved by Mamma Bliss! Once Mamma Bliss had weaned her 3, Brittany, Bambi and her 2 brothers came in needing mamma support and Blissy took them. It was incredible. This little litter is really silly, they're happy little babies with fun little temperaments that just make me giggle every day. They're part of the puppy pack right now and they come out and do chores with me and the kids. They have lots of exposure to all animals big and small, male and female dogs and kids of course! They're eating highly nutritional food, local goat milk ( and donated) . They're going to make wonderful family doggies!

Here is the official press release

𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄: 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲-𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞

Nevada City, CA – Brady Fehr, 67, of Nevada City, was arrested on Oct. 6 on 33 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty and one count of felony animal cruelty. He was booked into Wayne Brown Correctional Facility the same day.

This case began for the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) on Oct. 1 when its Animal Control division received a complaint about a subject reportedly owning 60-plus, Husky-type dogs that were not contained and roaming on the 24,000 block of Banner Quaker Hill Road in Nevada City. NCSO animal control officers began investigating the claim and made contact with the property and Fehr on Oct. 2.

Fehr indicated he owned and operated an animal rescue called “Mother Lode Husky Haven” and that approximately 47 dogs were his and 14 belonged to another rescue. Animal control officers noted numerous violations and gave Fehr 24 hours to come into compliance. The following day, animal control officers visited the property again and noted Fehr had made some improvements, such as making shade available for the animals. One animal, Chance, was seized due to inadequate care and apparent illness. The investigation remained active.

On Oct. 6, NCSO learned Fehr was involved in a traffic accident in another jurisdiction during which several animals were hurt and one was killed on Oct. 4. In response, NCSO sought a search warrant which was executed the same day in partnership with several teams. Fehr was present on scene and cooperated with officers as they seized 33 adult dogs and arrested him. Two dogs required emergency veterinary care due to poor health and injuries, including a broken leg, which had possibly occurred in the traffic accident. The remaining dogs were transported to private facilities for care and board. Unfortunately, the first rescued dog succumbed to his illness days later.

“We are devastated to have lost Chance but are grateful all the dogs are in safe places now. The safe seizure of this many dogs wouldn’t have been possible without the help of several community groups and businesses,” said Animal Control Supervisor Stefanie Geckler. “Many of the dogs are available for immediate adoption and could use loving homes.”

The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the following organizations for their swift support and assistance in rescuing all the animals: Sammie’s Friends, Canine Academy, Sheriff’s H.E.A.R.T., All About Dogs Boarding facility and West Coast Cane Corso Rescue.

To adopt a rescued dog, please contact Sammie’s Friends at (530) 471-5041. Sammie’s Friends is also accepting donations to help provide fuel, nourishment and medical care to all the dogs rescued. Donations earmarked for “Chance” will support the surviving rescued dogs.

Foster or adopter needed

My littlest of Edna's litter needs a little bit more 1x1 attention. She enjoys being with her pack, but she's so polite and small, she gets pushed out at meal time. I have separated her and fed separately, but she gets squimy and wants back with everyone else so bad she'll chose them over eating.

I'm hoping if I get her with someone, away from her pack she can focus more on meals. She may just need a week or two of focused fostering, or hopefully a long term adopter :)

Her name is Spumoni

Fosters must be local to me. I will provide food and supplies as well as support.

Adopters can be anywher, must apply. Spumoni is on adoption special

Let's talk about impulse puppy buying.

I get these responses way more often than I like and this impulsive puppy fever is the driving force behind the Cane Corso Crisis.

Why don't we discuss in the comments how this behavior negatively affects our breed and what the consequences usually are?

Where do you think this husband found the puppy? Was it a reputable breeder or....?

What should be the proper way to source a Cane Corso?

Last question: is rescue about getting a cheap Cane Corso or helping a dog in need?

Let me know your thoughts?

Dear Cane Corso Community

With the overwhelming amount of Cane Corso (and other like breeds) needing our help, with less adoptions , and more dogs becoming long term residents, we have been forced to take less intakes. We contemplated batening down the hatches and weathering the storm, but every day, the stories of dogs in need flood our inbox. Every kennel is full, every usable space is used, resources are limited.. what should we do?

We have decided to grow, which means we are ramping up all fundraising efforts in order to build more infrastructure, more transport vehicles, more fencing for sanctuary- a safe space for seniors and less adoptable dogs to play.

You'll be seeing more posts about things we need- don't skip over!

If you can't donate, share our posts.. watch our reels over and over and let them monetize! Please offer any and all advice. Share your skill sets with us! We are here to save dogs.. LETS DO THIS.

We are starting with Kennels! Let's add 5 heavy duty Rhino Kennels. With roof kits and transport!
