Buster busted out of rescue! We’re catching up on adoption posts 😅. Last month this fluffy boy was adopted into a great home where he’s now thriving and living the spoiled life. No more fighting for food or attention. He’s the last of the 3 that we were able to take in from the hoarding case of 16 unaltered chihuahua/papillon mixes. Happy tails, Buster 💙

A very special noodle has gone off on a foster to adopt trial with a very special family 💕 Our very own Apollo has been taken in by my friend and new PLAY! K9 Academy trainer Marissa and her fiancée Rozette! He has also gained a super cool big brother named Modie. Apollo is following very strict decompression and introduction protocols so that everyone is set up for success. This transition period is not optional. While it may look different for every dog it is absolutely crucial for a successful adoption. The goals for Apollo will be various performance sports, club level bite sports, and demo dog work. We are extremely excited to follow him on this new journey. Everyone wish him good luck!
