Residents

Bongo is ~8 years old and started his journey as a Board & Train from another rescue. Bongo experiences resource guarding challenges & unfortunately has not been found suitable to be a family dog. He is an affectionate and gentle old soul, with a playful nature. When progress wasn’t able to be made to cure him of his resource guarding, he was left with two choices; euthanasia, or become a RSR member. We couldn’t bare the idea of putting a good dog down, so we opened our kennel & hearts to keeping him safe. While we were hopeful that with more time, his challenges could be corrected, it has been determined that Bongo will require a significant amount of space management & someone well-versed in handling his level of care. With that in mind, Bongo has found himself as one of our Resident dogs and will live out his days with us, however many that may be.

Logan, aka Floof, was living his life as a young pup when he ran through a neighbor’s yard and was shot in the shoulder. The damage was extensive and required limb amputation. Thankfully the bullet didn’t hit any vital organs, however the experience was traumatizing to Logan and he exhibited a lot of fear aggression & faced euthanasia. Brandon, being the Dog Whisperer that he is, was called in to try & help. Logan came to us for all of his rehab needs & has been kept safe ever since. This guy lives life to the fullest and doesn’t let being a tripod slow him down. He is quirky and the master of playing mind games, especially if he senses any apprehension, but when you get into his inner “circle” of friendship, he is the biggest love bug. Logan’s hope is to one day receive a customized prosthetic ($1500+) so he can enjoy longer walks without tiring so quickly.

Bizzy, ~10 years old came to us June 2017.

Croix is ~10 years old and came to us in 2019. While initially he seemed to like other dogs & people, he displayed some instances of being dog & human selective, without any apparent reason. Because of the unpredictability in his behavior, he earned his safe spot within our care. He has thrived over the years while being with us, and even had a lifelong girlfriend, Stella, whom he adored until her recent passing. Croix is now facing his own health challenges of Cancer, in which we are doing everything we can to provide him with the medical care he needs to ensure his future days are as comfortable as they can be. His resilient nature has him still acting like a youthful pup, and he’s not letting his health challenges slow him down.
