More about the shelter
Our mission is to help the innocent sweet pups that don't have a voice. Many of the dogs come in sick, emaciated and covered in matts, we are here to provide funding for the vet bills and grooming. We also fund the feeding of the pups while they are in foster care and boarding. Educating the public on the treatment of the livestock guardian dogs is something we take very seriously. We are here to fight for their rights and do everything we can to get them covered under animal cruelty laws. They don't have a voice so you will never stop hearing ours!

About Craig
Distance: 3,018 Miles
Craig and his brother Gary were strays and spent several weeks waiting at the shelter to be adopted. An amazing foster stepped up for them and we were able to take them into rescue. Not a minute too soon since both boys were full of worms and parasites and spent the next few weeks under vet care and the constant care of the best foster mom and family! They are now ready to find their own families.
Craig is a huge snuggler, loves to be with his family and is good with most female dogs. He can be selective with other males so a meet is a must. He would probably prefer to be an only dog and get all the love and attention!
He is house trained, crate trained. knows some basic commands and is great on a leash. Craig is also great with cats!
He'd be a great addition to any family!
Craig is being fostered in Heber, UT
