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

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 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.
Asher now 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 to LTWR and we saw that the beautiful boy was malnourished and fearful from being abused.
This pup didn't trust many people, so It took a while, but we found a wonderful, amazing home that had the patience 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 companions. He is also fond of their
new little Jack Russell Terrier buddy.
Ranager has the bestest place in the world 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.
Moose and Maven
"One of our motivating factors as her pet 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 Talia — we also found a whole n
Moose and Maven
"One of our motivating factors as her pet 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 Talia — 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 with her buddy Moose and is called Maven.
Our hearts were touched by her story shared by adopters Sam and Andrew...
Beautiful Sweet Kia
She needed a new home right away and a wonderful family saw her adorable face and fell in love. Kia is now being loved and lavished with affection.
Freya was abandoned by her owner and left in a shed for three weeks before the landlord found her. We transported Freya to Lake Tahoe where she found a wonderful home in snow country! She has a great Dad that takes very good care of her.
Freya loves her hikes, home-cooked dinners
and all the attention she gets every day.
Death-row Shepherd/Husky SKYLA was in Carson shelter. This 1-year-old girl had her right rear leg amputated after her owners dumped at a shelter with an infection that could have been treated; but then she ended up on the euthanasia list! LTWR volunteers Lissette and MC got her out and saved her right in the nick of time.

LTWR volunteers Lissette and MC got her out and saved her right in the nick of time.
SKYLA was adopted 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.
Luna Adopted!
This beautiful Husky needed a home in Oahu
and found one!
It took a while because it's so far away and we are very fussy. A generous Rescue fostered Luna for a while until we found just the right home.
Luna is very happy getting lots of playtime on the beach.
