Dog Town Canine Rescue

 














Recycled Dogs are Our Specialty
You will soon find out that Dog Town Canine Rescue is NOT your ordinary dog rescue... We are a very active, hands-on type of organization, and we have volunteers who enjoy truly making a difference in the lives of unwanted dogs. We are not afraid to be outspoken or controversial. We are not afraid to stand up for what is right.

We maintain a list of adoptable dogs on our Petfinder website, and also have dogs listed on Pets911.com and 1-800-Save-a-Pet.com: To see all of our available dogs click here: www.dogtown.petfinder.com


We also have two online stores where you may purchase our customized merchandise: www.cafepress.com/dogtownrescue and www.zazzle.com/dogtownrescue.
Here at Dog Town, it's all about the dogs! We have fun with our dogs, we cry over them, we rejoice when they find a "forever home" and we're forever trying to come up with ways to make their world a better place.

                                                                              































                   
                   



























 










      






                                                                                              







     





















 
   




























 



  





                 





                                                                                                                                                    

      



                                                            






         

         



Remember, these dogs have lost their homes and families. Their entire worlds have been turned upside down beyond their capacity to understand, and most will require some time to adjust. Please have realistic expectations for them.
If you have the patience and compassion it may take to change the life of a rescued dog, you will be rewarded with a lifetime of love and gratitude unequalled by any other species. But if you cannot make the COMMITMENT to work with this dog and to be a wise and compassionate guardian, we respectfully request that you do not adopt from us. (copyrighted by Lorayn Walser)
"REAL DOGS FOR REAL PEOPLE"

If you are looking for a dog who won't bark, jump,
dig, chew, shed hair, has perfect manners and is
100% housebroken, may we suggest the stuffed
animal aisle at Toys r Us.

Our rescued dogs are not perfect. Some of the dogs you are seeing today were abandoned, abused, starved, shot, hit by cars, or simply neglected by the humans they had once trusted.

A rescued dog can bring a lifetime of love and devotion, but can also require extra effort on your part. Some dogs will need a gentle hand with housebreaking, or learning that they no longer have to fight for their food. After being
abandoned, some may have separation issues, and
may need help to feel secure again.
On December 20th 2007, Dog Town took in two male Pit Bulls from a local shelter. These dogs, now know as Wilbur and Orville (the "right" brothers) were terribly emaciated and we just could not leave them behind in that condition.

After getting the "okay" from the vet to bring them home, both dogs went to a Dog Town foster home where they are both recovering nicely. They have wonderful personalities, are friendly and get along great with the other dogs. They also were caught giving kisses to the cat at the vet's office, and they absloutely love people, despite what they have been through.As soon as they are strong enough we will be finding "forever" homes for these boys, where they will never go hungry again.
Rocket as we like to remember him... a big, silly, fun loving dog with a big heart. He never deserved to die.


update... Orville was adopted by an AWESOME family from Fallon, NV on January 20th! He now gets to go running and to work with his new dad, and he even got to go to California with the family to a SKATEPARK! How cool is that? Wilbur still needs a home, though, so why not make his dreams come true like Orville's did?

MORE GOOD NEWS! Wilbur was adoted by a wonderful family in the Dayton Nevada area! He has a canine brother and loves to play with him. His new family knows a lot about this breed of dog, so we know that Wilbur has a home for life!
Here is a photo of Orville, now known as Otis, with his new human brother! We'd love to shove this photo in the face of every idiot who tries to tell us that Pit Bulls are not good dogs for children.

Any dog can bite, so please don't profile based on breed.

PLEASE HELP US WITH THESE BABIES IF YOU CAN!
They came from a hell-hole in California. Unwanted, unloved and all suffering from severe cases of Demodex (non-contagious) mange. A mother Pit Bull and her five puppies arrived at Dog Town on February 29th. Despite their rough appearances, all are very sweet and loving dogs, and will be treated at Dog Town for their conditions. They are nearly hairless and shivering but are all so trusting and innocent. We will need help with their continuing (6 -8 weeks) medical treatment, after which time, momma will be spayed and vaccinated and all will be ready to find new lives in a kinder world. Puppies are only 4 weeks old right now, so we will keep them all together during treatment. If you can donate toward the cost of medication, or if you can foster and provide the daily treatments, please help!
You are my Sunshime, my only Sunshine...
In February we had a desperate email from the San Bernardino County Animal Shelter (CA). It was from a volunteer, begging us to help them with this girl. We saw the somewhat blurry photo they had taken there, and what the heck, how could Dog Town turn down helping this poor unfortunate dog? They said that they tried finding her puppies but had no luck, so they were either dead or someone had taken them and she was allegedly a stray living on the streets. The volunteers had named her Sunshine due to her sunny disposition, and it fits her to a tee!
Sunshine is only about two years old, but she is blind, only has three legs,and is missing most of her hair. She always has a wagging tail and is not at all bashful about kissing strangers. We welcomed her into the fold and she has quickly stolen our hearts. She had some serious damage to her tail, probably from whacking it against the cage at the Pound. It was bloody and beaten nearly to death. We tried wrapping it, but dogs being dogs, she would not leave it alone. We tried putting the dreaded "lampshade" on her head, but she would still whack the heck out of it on the walls. We checked it one day and saw that the tip of her tail was black, and cold. Her tail was literally dying. So the vet said "the tail has got to go" and that was that. She had surgery on March 5th and is now freed from the nasty thing. She actually looks like a Pointer with her cute bobbed tail, always in motion.
