Success Stories
This beautiful Huskyboy, Asher,
was almost given up to be rehomed.
Owner had a new baby and was frightened
to have her dog near her little one.
We spoke a few times and I gave her some pointers - asked her to trust Asher, to spend time training him to be calm, obedient, and go to "place" [i.e. his bed] when needed. I asked her to give Asher a treat whenever the baby was around to make it a positive experience. this way he would become comfortable around the newcomer and enjoy whe
We spoke a few times and I gave her some pointers - asked her to trust Asher, to spend time training him to be calm, obedient, and go to "place" [i.e. his bed] when needed. I asked her to give Asher a treat whenever the baby was around to make it a positive experience. this way he would become comfortable around the newcomer and enjoy when baby was around.
I cautioned she should have a watchful eye, eliminating anything [toys, bones, food] that could make him be nervous or anxious.
So far so good!
Asher loves being around the baby
and is more comfortable every day.
Normally we do not rehome our rescues with those who have children, but Asher was already in this home, and Mom reached out for help.
She loves Asher and didn't want to give him up.

Last year, a woman called LTWR saying
her dog was being punched in the face
by her uncle and boyfriend. She surrendered
the pup and we realized the beautiful boy was malnourished and being terribly mistreated.
This dog was scared and didn't trust many people, so It took a while, but we found a wonderful, amazing home for him.
They named him Ranger.
Ranger was transported all the way to Wyoming! They had a few issues to deal with as Ranger was terrified of being left alone or hit. But they soon taught him trust and how to accept love.
Now, his owner takes him everywhere,
even to coffee in the morning.

Ranger was transported all the way to Wyoming! They had a few issues to deal with as Ranger was terrified of being left alone or hit. But they soon taught him trust and how to accept love.
Now, his owner takes him everywhere,
even to coffee in the morning.
They have lots of property and they go in hikes every day. Ranger sleeps wherever he likes
and adores his female
canine companion. He is also fond of their
new little Jack Russell Terrier buddy.
Ranager has the bestest home with loving dog parents who would do anything for him.
Ranger has found his forever home.
A heartwarming success story for a dog
who was yelled at, abused, punched,
and who never thought he would be loved and treated with respect ever again.
He is so happy
Sweet, shy TALIA was picked up as a stray and so scared in the shelter. This 8-month-old puppy girl was very timid but would sit calmly and watch you. Any loud noise or sudden movement sent her scampering to the back of the kennel.
"One of our motivating factors as her parents was to find Moose a friend — but not just any friend, a friend who would love him, play with him, communicate in all the ways that come most naturally to him, but also be a calm and loving presence in our house. We didn't just find that with Maven — we also found a whole new chamber of
"One of our motivating factors as her parents was to find Moose a friend — but not just any friend, a friend who would love him, play with him, communicate in all the ways that come most naturally to him, but also be a calm and loving presence in our house. We didn't just find that with Maven — we also found a whole new chamber of our life that was previously missing and is now so full.
A heartfelt thank you to Pamela, Carole, Deirdre, Joanna, and all the folks that not only were such advocates for Maven every step of the way but have had such a profound and positive impact in our lives. Thank you!"
Talia was adopted in Oct 2023. She is now living the dream in the Pacific Northwest, now she is called Maven. Our hearts were touched by her story, as shared by adopters Sam and Andrew...
Thank you, Trisha & Emilio, for saving not one but two special “sisters” and making them your “world.” Trisha tells us that Sky & Ivy “make it feel like home.” With adopters like this, sky's the limit!
Death-row shepsky SKYLA in Carson shelter. This 1-year-old girl had her right rear leg amputated after her owners dumped her due to infection; then she ended up on the euthanasia list. LTWR volunteers Lissette, MC & Preston saved her in the nick of time.
SKYLA was adopted in Oct 2023 and is now called SKY. Adopters Trisha & Emilio found the perfect match for their 3-year-old shepsky, IVY, an amputee on the opposite side. These two yin-yang tripod girls balance each other on walks together.
