FEATURED DOG
WYATT EARP

WYATT is part of our small (but mighty) rescue program for amazing dogs who WERE facing euthanasia in a shelter, through no fault of their own. We commit to them for as long as it takes to get them into a loving home.

WYATT is our longest resident. He has been waiting for a foster or FURever home for over one year. He is a SWEET, HAPPY, VERY GOOD BOY, who's only needs are a loving home with other dogs and room to play. At 80 lbs, this big boy is full of love to give!

Please consider adopting, sponsoring, or fostering WYATT 💚
