Meet the pack...

This loving and comical pupper came to us as a foster with a few challenges.  Thankfully,  he is a low-anxiety dog (as long as he's not alone) as this helps him remain healthy.  He is extremely enthusiastic when it comes to sharing afffection. His eagerness to please earned him "Best Dog Trick" at a big festival where he competed against professionally-trained dogs. He's now trained to offer reminders, and excels at keeping track of time. He's a very special lifetime member of the pack.

Little Boy was insecure, but so very sweet when he came out of the shelter.  He's found confidence being part of a pack. He's a special boy, but we aren't going to talk about the sad things that make him special. For over a year, he's been close to perfectly healthy! He'll be a lifetime sanctuary resident so he can continue to receive immune-boosting care. 

We didn't know Moo was special needs when we reached out to the person rehoming her. We just felt she needed us. The reason why became apparent after we took her in. A surgery by a talented vet and lots of training have helped her become a truly healthy and happy member of the pack. Moo is now  thriving and has a never-ending zest for life. She dreams of having an indoor agility course where she can show off her talent and speed.

Piper was one-day-old when I rescued her.  She was an unusual kitten with a big appetite for anything rubber (and certain textiles). We couldn't find anyone else willing to peeper-proof their home, so we took on the challenge of providing her a safe and happy home for life. Piper is the sweetest cat one could imagine. 

Vido was one-day-old when we took him in. He seemed to be intellectually and physiologically challenged but he was super loving and always wanted to be "helpful" around the sanctuary (e.g. riding on people's shoulders as they did chores). When switched to a raw diet, he got stronger and blossomed into a big,  beautiful cat. We failed to find an adopter willing to continue his diet, so we took him on as a lifetime resident and cherished research subject.  We look forward to many more years of his love. 

The most snuggly muffin you'll ever meet.... but she doesn't like kisses.  Previous adopters gave up on her, but that's not because she was a bad dog.  She just has a lot of energy and needs to be kept focused to feel secure. Since she needs to work to be happy, she's been trained as a service dog. Belle guards and herds other pack members and, as the self-appointed "Cat Tattler", she lets us know when there's a cat misbehaving. 

When Tino needed help we jumped at the opportunity. Tino had spent most of his money on vet bills for chronic eye, liver, and kidney disease. He had little money or life left when he also got a severe case of pancreatitis. Hospitalization was too expensive so he was treated with DMSO and nano-silver at home. His appetite returned within hours and his body began to heal itself. Within weeks, his cataracts were not visble. He was named Tino 2.0 for he looked and acted like a younger version of himself. Tino had a consistently good appetite and quality of life for another year and half. Please see the Heal Thy Pet Page for remarkable before and after photos of Tino's eyes.

Typical adoption fees are as follows:  

Conventionally-raised cats/kittens $99-199 Conventionally-raised Puppies $199-399 Conventionally-raised Dogs $99-299  

Holistically-rehabilitated pet $99-499

Holistically-raised pet $299 to $599  

Fees for holistically-raised pets are higher bcause it costs  more to feed them and we keep them longer (e.g. 3-4 months for holistic kittens versus 8 weeks for conventional). We put extra handling into them and start training as soon as we get them. We do this becauase we know the holistically-minded adopter appreciates a well-rounded pet and will continue the level of care we provide. 

Adoptable pets are given temporary names. In most cases, these can be changed to another neutral or positive name.

Mama wags her tail so quickly we think she's part rattlesnake. She is a lap-loving diva who doesn't prefer to share her human with other pets. Mama is up for adoption to a natural-rearing home in So Cal only please. She needs a dog-savvy adopter and will need to come for regular visits so we can refresh her manners. She wants to be dominant with other dogs (especially females), so we can work on that when she visits. She's a senior and on supplements for liver support and digestion. Natural-rearing/holistically-minded adopters only, please. Ideally, she will continue her care at her vet in La Jolla, CA   $333 rehoming donation

 Quint is available for adoption to a holistic home. He had an allergic response to a bee (or something else he found in the catio). Other than that, he's been healthy. His "twin" brother is Essence. Quinty doesn't like being away from his brother;

The "twins" are very energetic and smart.  They love to purr and snuggle. Quint will be a BIG cat. At 8 months he was about 12 1/2 pounds. He'll be about 16lbs fully-grown. .

Their mama was cared for holistically (mostly organic raw diet, no drugs)  since we took her in (about halfway through the pregnancy). The kittens eat a raw diet and LOVE it. These babies have been socialized daily and are comfortable with men, women and (our) dogs. 

This baby will be staying in sanctuary unless  an ideal adopter will like to take he and his brother home as a pair. He has a big appetite and needs a more controlled environment than his brother.  We expect him to be about 11 pounds fully-grown.

They could be available for rehoming to natural-rearing/holistically-minded sponsors who will continue to raise them as part of the luckydog family. Whoever has them will need to collect and deliver their stool for fecal transplant research. Cost to maintain them: Insurance approx. $50/mo, food approx. 30lbs/mo/$240 other supplies at about $70/mo, so about $400/month for the pair in cluding vet co-pays and deductibles.
