Note to adopters:  Lassie, Cleo, Rin Tin Tin and Toto don't show up in rescue. We don't get the elegantly coiffed, classically beautiful, completely trained, perfectly behaved dog.  We get the leftovers. Dogs that other people have incompetently bred, inadequately socialized, ineffectively "trained," and badly treated.  Most Rescue dogs have had it.  They've been pushed from one lousy situation to another. They've never had proper veterinary care, kind and consistent training, or sufficient company.  They've lived outside, in a crate, or in the basement.  They're scared, depressed and anxious. Some are angry. Some are sick.  Some have given up.  But we are Rescue and we don't give up.  We never give up on a dog.  We know that a dog is a living being, with a spirit and a heart and feelings.  Our dogs are not commodities, things, or garbage. They are part of sacred creation and they deserve as much love and care and respect as the next Westminster champion.  So please, please don't come to rescue in the hopes of getting a "bargain," or indeed of "getting" anything.  Come to Rescue to give, to love, to save a life -- and to mend your own spirit.  For Rescue's will reward you in ways you never thought possible.  I can promise you this -- a rescue dog will make you a better person.

Gordo, Samson, we really aren't sure what his name is. All his paperwork says Samson but a tag he was wearing says Gordo, and that's what he has been answering too, so Gordo it is.

Gordo is a sweet 9 year old guy who was surrendered to the Nevada Humane Society because his owners could not afford surgery that he needed. He had 2 tumors on his bum which have been removed and he is healing nicely. Every day that he feels better is a happier day for Gordo, he is such a sweet boy and has a great personality. He absolutely loves people but he is not fond of other dogs so he will be placed in a home without dogs. We don't know his history so small toddler sized children are not a good idea. Even though this guy is a senior he still likes to romp and play, he has some get up and go left. He just had some dental work done and is ready for a new home. If you think Gordo might make a great addition to your family call Karen 775-771-0293. We adopt within 100 miles of the Reno/Tahoe area. His adoption fee is $200 which will help cover some of his medical bills.
