Dogs that are dumped or pulled from shelters are brought into the pet rescue center, rehabilitated of necessary, receive training in basic obedience and agility as well as spay/neuter, vaccines, microchipping, and a veterinary exam. The rescue ensures the right for for both dog and owner and on multiple occasions the director has said I know you want her but this is who you need and avoided a placement that would have caused frustration for all involved. She ensures that if a dog is found every attempt is made to reconnect it with it family even when the family is sadly unappreciative of this. They have training classes to fundraise for the rescue and would love more volunteers :) I find visiting this place to be zen as I am sure the dogs do also.

I saw this fella immediately but waited, said if he was still at the shelter a few days later I'd go take a look. Well he was so I drove 2 hours to see him. It was love at first sight. He's such a great little dog and opened up the second day. He hit the jackpot with me as I've a huge dog community and he's been surrounded by love from the moment everyone met him. And I hit the jackpot with him . He's a total gem. The employees were extremely nice. The facility didn't leave me depressed. Was a lot cleaner than the other ones although I just looked in the front area and didn't go to the big dog area. The process to adopt Jake, now named Loki, was seamless. Glad I drove the 2 hours to grab him. He's amazing.

If you're looking to adopt (or foster), please don't overlook Desert Humane Society. This shelter…read moreneeds more visibility and community support. We adopted our new dog Jet here and had a positive experience overall. Everyone we met was kind, and it was clear the staff genuinely cares about the animals despite limited resources. Jet was clean when we met him and appears to be in great health. We also appreciated how understanding the adoption coordinator was about allowing a proper meet and greet with our senior dog Gus (15 years old, 14 pounds, and very dog selective), which helped us feel confident in the match. This shelter is very full and many dogs have been waiting a long time (6 months to 2 years). Compared to shelters that get more attention and donations, this location in Desert Hot Springs is less visible and easy to miss, and many dogs are housed outdoors in extreme desert conditions. We only met Jet because we came back multiple times and asked for a full tour. I understand it can be stressful for the dogs, but the reality is many won't be seen otherwise. Jet was not what we planned to adopt (we originally came looking for a small female), but he's a calm 50 pound sweetheart and we couldn't be happier. If you're considering adopting, take your time, ask questions, and ask to see all available dogs. And if you're not in a position to adopt right now, please consider donating or volunteering, this place truly needs it. We actually started donating ourselves after visiting because the need is obvious.

She told us that we had to fill out an application and get approved prior to even looking at any of the animals. In today's age of identity theft they want all my information before I even know if there is a match? I don't think so... I am sure they are just data mining personal information so they can add me to a list to solicit me for money for years to come *without consent* which is very shady IMO! Needless to say, we left and found a wonderful addition to our family elsewhere.

The backstory. Jackson had been in and out of a few homes by the time he came to us. He was an…read moreadult dog, 100 lbs of power with no boundaries, reactive around other dogs, pulled while on a leash...the list goes on. We spoke with Morgan at K9 Off Leash regarding their programs. Morgan took the time I needed to ask questions to determine the right program and the right trainer. My spouse and I decided on the in-person, 8 week dog aggression program with Kyonia Brooks. Kyonia has a breadth of experience ranging from shelters to veterinarian hospitals to animal control and - the point that drove home for me: police canine training. Again, Jackson is a big boy, weighing in at 100 lbs of power with no boundaries so we needed someone experienced that wouldn't be intimidated. At our first meeting with Kyonia we reviewed the program and expectations. We hit it off with Kyonia immediately. We could tell this was dog training and handler training which is what we needed to help set boundaries for Jackson. And from my research prior to calling K9, dog training is really about people training so we were in good hands. After the first session there was already a noticeable difference. Within just a few sessions, we already had a new dog and Jackson was on his way to a new and permanent home (finally!). Jackson was walking on a leash without pulling, he was social with other dogs, he was off leash at the dog park and making fur friends. This was remarkable since he was very reactive to dogs just a few weeks prior. The training was working! Again, Kyonia was teaching us so we were learning how our behavior was feeding into his negative behavior. On command, he knew how to: heel, stay, sit, come, down, down from afar, off and place. At this point, we started taking him to various stores to try him in and around crowds with plenty of distraction. He continued to heel by our side, sit, stay and down on command at one end of the aisle while we would "browse items" at the other end of the aisle without moving. (More like fake browse while side eyeing Jackson to be sure he was following command.) He would look at people as they walked by but stayed in command. Proudly, I must say that at the end of our very first store outing (big box hardware and lumber store), one of the employees came up to me to say that he was the best behaving dog that had ever been in the store. She was astonished this was his first outing. She thought for sure we were training him to be as a service dog. I responded, no just a good dog. ;) Soon after, Jackson was walking off leash. This was not our goal or expectation, even though the name of the company has it in their name. #TotalBonus The goal was two fold: give Jackson boundaries and have him become the dog that matched our lifestyle & teach us how to set the boundaries while instilling him with his own confidence. Goal accomplished! Friends and family all commented on a totally different dog. We get comments from folks all the time at stores, the park, the dog park, campgrounds and hikes on such a well behaved dog with excellent recall. Thank you Kyonia and K9 Off Leash!
