Meet Ollie: A Brave Soul Rebuilding Trust

Ollie, currently in our rehabilitation program, is overcoming her fear of humans. Likely born in the desert with minimal socialization until captured by Animal Control, she once lived with a loving family, displaying food-driven behavior and allowing her human dad to pet her. Due to a family tragedy, Ollie (Olive) found herself in need of treatment or sanctuary.

With the right family and commitment, we believe Ollie can thrive with humans once again. Help her on this journey to feel safe and loved. Your support can make a world of difference as Ollie seeks a new beginning filled with trust and love.

Reggie– Loyal Soul Seeking a Calm, Loving Home
Reggie is a gentle soul with a heart full of love, just waiting for the right person to notice him. He enjoys his meals and toys in his own space, and prefers slow, gentle handling that allows trust to grow naturally. With patience, you'll discover a devoted and loyal friend who will stand by your side through thick and thin.

Once Reggie chooses you, you’ve earned a best friend for life. He loves quiet moments and gentle affection, but he’s also always up for a fun game of fetch, a joyful romp in the yard, or a walk in the woods. Whether curled up as a professional snuggler on the couch or showing off his quick learning skills in training games, Reggie thrives on praise, connection, and being part of a loving family.

He would enjoy a doggy playmate, making him a versatile and easy-going companion once he feels secure. Reggie already has wonderful house manners, is crate-trained, and walks nicely on a leash. A true survivor with a heart full of hope, he’s guaranteed to keep you smiling every day.

Reggie’s perfect match is a dog-savvy, patient adopter who understands the power of slow introductions and building trust over time. He would flourish in a calm home without small children, and would do wonderfully in a family with older kids or other dogs. His adopters should be prepared for continued bonding and gentle encouragement, providing him with the stability he needs to thrive.

If you cannot adopt but want to help Reggie’s journey, please consider becoming his monthly sponsor. For just $10 a month, you’ll help provide him with the continued care, enrichment, and love he needs while he waits for his forever home.

Back Story
Regie was found roaming loose in the desert by an animal control officer. He was turned over to a veterinarian for safekeeping, medical care, and adoption.  Unfortunately, the opposite happened to Reggie. He spent over a year in the facility before the veterinarian agreed to transfer him and several other of their neglected dogs to our facility. When he arrived, Reggie was 30 pounds underweight, had sores on his forelegs and paws, his ears and eyes were caked with dirt, and he had dog bites on his hind end. He was hand shy, indicating possible physical abuse, and he was out of date for his core vaccines, rabies vaccination, worming, and was not neutered. He was very neglected and abused for over a year in a 4-foot by 6-foot outside pen.

His anxiety was very high, and he constantly barked. He lashed out at all dogs out of fear. He was initially shy around people but quickly warmed up once he was treated with kindness. We spent over a year with Reggie rehabilitating him, and he now engages with all new people in a friendly manner, listens attentively, enjoys being rubbed and snuggled, and loves going for walks.

He is one of our most stable and wonderful boys here. He still has some issues with going on ‘walkabouts’ if he has the chance. He has returned on his own the three times he went on a solo adventure. He is one of our “bests.”

Behavior Profile
Reggie is a very friendly boy. We do not know how he will interact with small children. He will more than likely be pleasant, but he is kind of clumsy and will certainly knock smaller ones over. He listens very well. Barks to go out at unfamiliar things, and not much else. He is very friendly with all people and gets along well with all dogs. He enjoys being outside for long times, inside in a crate, or resting on the floor next to the couch.
