Supporting Rescue Dogs

Rescue dogs often come with unknown histories and invisible baggage.

They may have experienced neglect, trauma, multiple rehomings, or simply lack of early socialization. Adjusting to a new home can be overwhelming, and behaviors may emerge weeks or months after adoption.

We specialize in helping rescue dogs decompress, build trust, and learn that they are finally safe.

The Adjustment Period

Many rescue dogs go through a decompression period that can last weeks to months. During this time, their true personality—and true challenges—often emerge.

Our approach is patient and trauma-informed. We help you understand what your rescue dog needs, set realistic expectations, and build a foundation of safety and trust.
