Did You know???

Dogs can smell emotions.
Thanks to their incredible nose, dogs can detect changes in your scent caused by stress, happiness, fear, and even sadness. They often respond with comfort, excitement, or calmness to match your mood.

They really do feel what you feel.

Owning a pet specially a dog, can significantly enhance human mental health. Studies have shown that dogs help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression ease loneliness, encourage exercise and improve overall well-being. Additionally interacting with dogs can lower blood pressure and elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, promoting calmness and relaxation. Their companionship provides unconditional love support, contributing to a happier and healthier life.

Tired of least puling? Try the "stop & reset" method.

When your dog starts pulling in a walk, stop walking immediately. Don't yank-just stand still.
The moment your dog turns back or loosens the leash, praise and continue walking. If they pull again? Stop ah=gain. Calm, consistent, and no words needed.

This teaches your dog that pulling gets them nowhere-and walking politely keeps the adventure going.

It takes patience, but the payoff is a stress-free walk for both if you.

Too often, people judge others and, in turn, leave the helpless in harm's way. It's never the animal's fault if their human unable to provide proper care. Life can put any of us in unexpected situations, and unfortunately animals are the ones to suffer.

We believe in the power of community to create change. No matter the circumstances, every animal deserves proper care-a dry place to rest, daily meals, clean water, veterinary care, and love.

We were honored to be interviewed by The Dodo in celebration of the one-year anniversary of our very first true rescue. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re so grateful for the support that’s helped us grow and save lives along the way.

https://www.thedodo.com/daily-dodo/she-was-tied-up-deep-in-the-woods-with-all-her-puppies-then-a-hero-arrived?

About a year ago, dog rescue volunteers in Gresham, Oregon, jumped into action when they heard about a family of dogs abandoned deep in the woods of Washington. Hiking up to the scene, the rescuers almost couldn’t believe their eyes. A mama dog laid in a rocky grove, tied to a tree, surrounded by ...

Lila Bug Has Found Her Forever!

We are overjoyed to share that our sweet Lila has been adopted by an absolutely wonderful family bursting with love to give!

Now known as Lily Bug, she’s living her best life on a beautiful piece of property that’s fully fenced—perfect for her zoomies and exploring! She has horse neighbors to greet over the fence, a small seasonal pond to splash in, and a few teenagers to keep her entertained with endless play.

But the best part? She’s officially Dad’s new girl, which means she’ll be traveling everywhere with him and soaking up all the adventures life has to offer.

What made this adoption extra special was the undeniable connection between Lily and her new family. It wasn’t just good energy—it felt meant to be. Their beloved dog passed away last year, and he had some very unique markings. As fate would have it, Lily Bug has the exact same markings. A beautiful sign from the universe (or maybe even a little wink from their pup on the other side) that this was the right match.

Lily Bug, we love you more than words can say. Your future is bright, full of love, and exactly what you deserve.

Happy tails, sweet girl!

Did You Know?...
Puppies are born blind and deaf?
When puppies are born, their eyes and ears are closed, and they rely on their sense of smell to find their mother.

They start to open their eyes around 10-14 days begin hearing at 2 weeks. Until then, they are completely dependent on their mother for warmth, food,defecating, and care.

Stop K9 Starvation: Every Pup Deserves a Full Belly!

It’s heartbreaking to know that many dogs in our community are struggling to find enough food. Malnourishment can lead to serious health issues, and no dog should have to go through that. That’s why we’re asking for your help—together, we can provide these dogs with the nutrition and care they need to live happy, healthy lives.

Many of the dogs we see being rehomed come from families facing hard times, where feeding their pets becomes a challenge. Sometimes, people need to rehome their dogs because of financial hardship, unexpected life changes, or even health issues. It’s not about giving up; it’s about doing what’s best for the dog.

By supporting local rescues and fostering or donating, you are directly helping to ensure that every dog in need receives food, care, and the chance for a better future.

Let’s stand together and stop K9 starvation—because every dog deserves love, care, and a full belly! 🐾❤️

Meet Luna
Luna is a 2–3-year-old spayed female Lab/Pit/Heeler mix. She received most of her puppy vaccinations when she was younger.

Luna is a happy, energetic girl who would thrive in an active home with a large yard. Unfortunately, she has become aggressive toward the other pets in her current home, so she needs to be the only animal in her new household.

Luna loves to play and would do best with someone who can give her the attention, structure, and space she needs to shine.

If you think Luna could be the perfect fit for your home, please reach out!

Meet Lila – the most curious little girl you’ll ever meet! She’s an absolute ball of energy who loves to play, splash in water, and indulge in treats. Food is her passion, and she’s so food motivated that she’s learned to patiently wait for her food when we set her bowl down (we use the command “wait”). Lila is mostly potty trained with just the occasional accident.

Lila would thrive best in a home with older, patient dogs or a younger, playful companion, as she can get a bit overstimulated when there are several dogs around. We do not recommend placing her in a home with dogs that have behavioral issues, as she needs a calm environment.

She’s incredibly smart, learns quickly when you work with her, and truly flourishes with a consistent schedule. Most importantly, Lila will shower you with love and kisses until you’re blue in the face. If you’re home most of the day and can give her the attention she craves, she’s the perfect companion!
