Meet River—a guardian by nature, a gentle giant by heart. Born in the sanctuary, River has never known a world without animals to protect or a shepherd to follow. From goats and sheep to chickens and waterfowl, he watches over them all with unwavering loyalty. He’s playful and loving, always ready for hugs, kisses, and the comfort of being by your side. River adores females, both furry and human, and has a heart full of devotion—especially for his shepherd, whom he never leaves.

Meet Marsha—a brave heart who came close to losing everything. After being bred, she and her companion were headed to a shelter, but fate had other plans. She found safety with us and a peaceful foster home in Malibu, where she gave birth and found a second chance. Since then, she’s found purpose in guarding—working side by side with her daughter Candy to protect mini pigs, donkeys, and horses with a quiet, watchful presence. Marsha is an outdoor soul with a protective heart. She barks to be heard, to defend, to connect. While she’s friendly, she needs time to trust—but once she does, her loyalty runs deep. Now, she waits: will someone open their heart to this strong, steady spirit and give her a forever home? Or will you help her stay surrounded by the animals and people she knows, through a donation that lets her keep living the life she’s learned to love?

Meet Jasmine – Survivor, Adventurer, and Mud-Lover
Jasmine came to us in 2024 after being rescued from the San Bernardino shelter. She arrived with a bite wound on her face and signs of severe resource guarding—a clear reflection of the difficult life she survived.
Since then, Jasmine has blossomed into a spirited, playful girl who lives for adventure and isn’t afraid to get dirty (she truly loves mud). She enjoys playtime, exploring, and being surrounded by people who understand her journey.
While Jasmine has made great progress, she still needs to be fed separately—especially when it comes to high-value treats or food rewards. With the right structure, she continues to thrive and build trust every day.
Jasmine is searching for a home that will meet her with patience, boundaries, and love—a place where she can keep growing and finally feel safe for good.

Luna is a Joyful Learner. Born on a ranch in Lucerne Valley, Luna was expected to herd—but instead, she’s been writing her own story. Though not a natural herder, she’s learned to guide goats and sheep with surprising grace, making up for instinct with heart. Birds tempt her playful side, so she needs a watchful eye—but when it comes to people, she’s pure sunshine. She was born with a natural short tail. She is a lot smaller than your standard heelers making her a unique mini heeler. Luna is easygoing, endlessly friendly, and always smiling. She craves movement, connection, and affection—less a working dog, more a joyful soul ready to be someone’s loyal companion. Luna would thrive in a home where walks, games, and cuddles are part of everyday life. Can you give her the pet life she secretly dreams of? Or will you help her continue running free and cared for through your donation? Your choice keeps her happy, active, and loved.
