Sweet and gentle Mya came into rescue about 3 months ago as an owner surrender to an animal shelter. Mya and her sister had been expected to become hunting dogs, which they both failed to do. Mya is about 22 months old now, and she still has some puppy behaviors such as chewing.
Personality-wise Mya is exceptionally soft and sensitive. With her background and her gentle spirit, any training she receives must be provided with patience, kindness, and gentleness. Taking a training class with her new parent as a bonding experience would be welcome. She is submissive and takes correction from other dogs well. Her foster mother says Mya is the most dog friendly pup she has ever known. She will get along with any dog, anywhere. She is “all happiness and sweetness, without any meanness whatsoever”. Mya is gentle with an older and frail dog in her foster home, but she also plays rough with a younger, active dog in the household.

If dogs could talk, Taco Dogler would have quite a story to tell. We know he was abandoned from a hunting ranch in Idaho and found with a crushed crate on the side of a road. We are so thankful for the good Samaritans who found him and brought him into rescue!

It’s pretty clear Taco didn’t receive any training in his former life, but he has done brilliantly learning how to live indoors and display house manners. He is now house trained and has learned some basic commands. Taco free roams his foster home without chewing or damaging any of the property. Because he was dumped in a crate, his foster parents have not addressed crate training with him at all.
