Where do you get the dogs?
You've heard the phrase "everyone has a story", well it's the same for dogs too. Our dogs come from every corner of the San Luis Valley and they all have a story.  Many of them were homeless, abandoned, abused, neglected, lost, or relinquished by their owners.  While each dog's story may be different, they all just want an opportunity to love and be loved.  Check out our adoption and fostering information!
