Going To The Dogs

Challenge

Our sanctuary is located in a very rural part of San Diego County with a healthy population of both coyotes and mountain lions. Since Stanley, our first LGD arrived in March of 2012 (he crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Dec. 26, 2018), livestock guardians have served the critical role of maintaining the safety of our ranch residents. In April 2023, County of San Diego Department of Animal Services made us aware of three Great Pyrenees that needed a rescue exit from the shelter.

Solution

These dogs need a stable, calm environment that will allow them to bond with people. Garda, Dealla and Cahira are part of a group of Great Pyrenees dumped on Palomar Mountain. Livestock Guardians, especially Great Pyrenees, are escape artists with very poor recall. Our original dog yard immediately proved inadequate for the new Livestock Guardians. Your support provides ongoing care for our pack.

Long-Term Impact

This project will fund our Livestock guardian dogs with on-going food, veterinary care and enrichment.
