Valerie was adopted , her adopter traveled to CA to pick her up. After 8 months being with her new family her adopter surrendered her to the shelter in Oregon. She called animal control ( at no fault of Valerie) and they came and picked her up from her own house, took her to the shelter and put her in the kennel. We were getting photos, videos of Valerie that how she is a good girl, her adopter and everyone else love her. She was going on a pack walk but all of a sudden she ended up at the shelter. 2 dogs got into fight ( no reason was given to us), one dog ( per adopter doesn't know which dog but per texts her first dog is aggressive not Valerie) bit the person. The person put Valerie in the room and called animal control at her. We were able to find a foster for her in Oregon to pick her up from the shelter before being euthanized. She stayed with a foster for a few days they fell in love with her but their dog wasn't really getting along with her so she is back in CA with the rescue. We promised Valerie we will find her the best home. If you have a Staffordshire Terrier experience , own or owned one and interested in adopting her please contact the rescue.

Meet Hannah – A Survivor with a Heart of Gold.​

READ MORE
Meet Hannah – A Survivor with a Heart of Gold Hannah is a beautiful 4-year-old Shepherd mix weighing about 56 lbs. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. She’s also one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. Hannah is incredibly friendly with people and other dogs. Even when other dogs get snappy, she simply walks away—never reactive, always gentle. However, she is not good with cats. Her journey hasn’t been easy. Hannah was originally rescued from Carson Animal Shelter, then adopted, but sadly returned. A loving foster took her in, and she stayed with him for over a month—until something heartbreaking happened. One day, the foster claimed Hannah had been stolen from his car while he stepped inside a store. He said the car was locked (except the driver’s door), windows up, and the AC running. But shortly after, he received a text from a witness saying, “How could you throw the dog out of your car window while driving?” That text was accidentally forwarded to the rescue. Shocked, the rescue contacted the number and spoke to the witness directly. She reported seeing the foster throw Hannah out of his moving vehicle. She quickly turned her car around, rescued Hannah, and took her to Carson Animal Shelter. The foster later begged the rescue to return Hannah, even asking to adopt her. Thankfully, the rescue team immediately picked Hannah up from the shelter and brought her back to safety. Despite this traumatic event, Hannah is doing well—healthy, resilient, and still full of love. She’s now looking for her forever home, a foster, or a foster-to-adopt family. If you’re interested in giving this amazing dog the life she truly deserves, please contact the rescue. Hannah has been through so much, but she still believes in people. Let’s show her that trust was never misplaced.
