DOZER NEEDS A FOSTER!
Dozer, the chocolate mix on the left, had another great day with Rōzy, black dog on the right. After our walk we took a break from the cold and wind and warmed up in the car. Dozer was playful and affectionate but listened when his trainer thought they were getting a little excited.
He's having some skin issues. It’s becoming dry & cracked from kennel life. He's been there since before Christmas. Please, please, please consider fostering Dozer. He's been waiting so patiently for his chance!

HELLO EVERYONE. I hope you have not forgotten about me. I am STILL in the kennel, waiting for a foster or adopter to notice me. I work hard at my training every week. I am learning so, so much and having such a good time! But when training is over, I get lonely. I would really love a warm and cozy home I could rest in. Somewhere where I can show off all my training skills and get lots of love. I really love to be loved.
If you would like more information on my you can email [email protected].
HOW CAN YOU HELP ME IF YOU CAN'T FOSTER OR ADOPT ME? You can "like" and share my page. This way, the person(s) who is waiting for me will see I have been waiting right here all along.
Love,
Dozer <3
HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who generously donated to Andy's medical expenses recently! Our supporters answered the call with over $1,500 to support this pup. As you can see, Andy is working on his walking (and getting along marvelously with his feline friend) post surgery. We are so grateful for all of you out there that cared enough to donate ❤

Meet Blue!
Before coming to DDR, Blue was a stray and spent some stressful time in a shelter. His history prior to that is unknown, but his behaviors tell a sad story. Blue suffers from fear aggression, and is very skeptical of anyone new. He's very nervous of hands coming toward his face or head, and reacts strongly when he feels threatened (which is a very low threshold for him). His fear and anxiety also make him very protective of his space, and he exhibits resource guarding behaviors. He is terrified of fireworks and loud sounds, and needs a safe, quiet space of his own where he can rest uninterrupted. Blue's skepticism of new people and dogs expresses itself on walks as well, where he is leash reactive, but he has been making small improvements toward learning how to stay calm and look to his handler for support on walks. To assist with his high anxiety levels and help him learn calm, appropriate behaviors through training, Blue is currently taking anti-anxiety medication which is starting to show positive improvements with his continued behavioral training.
The good news is, once someone has put in the time and patience with Blue, he is a very affectionate dog. He is smart, obedient, silly, and a lot of fun. He loves to play fetch, and can't get enough squeaky toys / tennis balls. He knows sit, down, stay, spin, touch, crate, and has even dipped his toe into agility training! Patience is key here - Blue is cute, and it will be hard to understand how a dog so cute can exhibit such intense reactions when triggered by his fears. It's highly likely you'll see some reactions from Blue as he figures out if he can trust you, and you figure out his body language and signs of discomfort. Blue's reactions range in intensity, but he has made contact when triggered, so his needs can't be ignored.
Following some simple rules with Blue really sets him up for success. Let Blue come to you - he loves affection and will ask for it often, but he gets very nervous about in

Meet Carla! This sweet girl loves people so she is looking for a family who will give her lots of attention! She is approximately 2 years old and is around 55 lbs. Though kitties are too interesting for Carla, she sure does like the company of other dogs! Dogs who are not too pushy would be best for Carla, as she does not appreciate being bullied around. She likes going on walks and will require at least some type of daily exercise to burn off some of her youngster energy. Treats are an excellent motivator for her and they will definitely help with training. In fact, they have proven to already be helpful as sweet Carla learned Sit with ease! At the top of her wishlist is toys, toys, and more toys! She loves to play and hopes to have so many toys in her new home that she has a hard time choosing which one to play with next. Do not miss out on this beautiful girl. She will win over your heart as soon as you meet her!
