Hades is a red tinted Alaskan Husky, and was about 4-years-old when he stayed with me. Hades was returned during an adoption event. I had a mom, her 6 puppies, and Xander, but I’m a sucker for arctic breeds so I took him home. Hades was a master at escape, and a few times I [...]
Jersey was a 2-year-old Pittbull Border Collie Mix; who had boundless amounts of energy and a tennis ball obsession. I think Jersey’s life was a constant game of fetch. If you weren’t throwing the ball for her; she was finding some way to chase it. One of her favorite ways to do this was to [...]
This short documentary really spoke to me. It’s about Jason Wood’s experience of putting his suffering dog, Oden, to sleep. Oden suffered from cancer and was finally at the end of his struggle. Jason talk about how Oden was ready to die two months before they actually put him to sleep, and how he kept [...]
Scooter Bug was one of the litter of puppies I rescued from the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter. Once I got him home it was apparent that he wasn’t in the best shape. The front of one of his toes was shaved off at some point and the bone was sticking out. I got him [...]

The litter mates were Minnie, Bowser, Tifa, Bayard, Rufio, Aeris, Maisey, Scooter Bug, and Koda (not pictured). Columbus was the add-on to the [...]

She wasn’t with me for long, but I was able to teach her to catch a Frisbee. She changed fosters when someone adopted one [...]
Xander is a 9 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever Mix. He came out of the shelter with a group of four other dogs scheduled for euthanasia after the weekend. Luckily enough for him the clinic in Orem was offering free fixes to shelter dogs that day, so we did a 5 day weekend of [...]
Denzel is a 8 week old German Shepard mix. I only had him for one night and he got adopted the next day. He was recently returned and adopted out again.
Demyx is a 12 week old German Shepard mix. I rescued him and Velda from the shelter at the same time. He stayed with me for about two weeks. I got to go hiking with him once before he got adopted. The terrain was a little too rough for him, but I think he still [...]
