Sweet Max is our foster pup. He was rescued wandering the desert and has been bounced around and returned by his adopters for no fault of his own. He is extremely timid and afraid of people and loud noises but once he lets you in - he is the absolute sweetest perfect dog.

We adopted Delilah a couple of months ago from a litter born from a dumped bulldog found in LA. Her mama Boogie is now at her forever home, but two of her sisters are still with fosters. If you’re in CA looking for the funniest bulldog/GSD mix around, let me know! #rescuedogs

This is the rescue that our tortoise Bubbles was saved from. He needed to be tube fed and closely cared for for months to recover from the abuse and neglect he endured. Now he’s a happy, healthy guy! Too many tortoises were not so lucky.

‘A Nightmare’: Dead tortoises found at Joshua Tree rescue | Greater LA
The Joshua Tree Tortoise Rescue once cared for desert tortoises. But it turned into “a nightmare,” until a Yucca Valley nurse got involved.

Winter is here so the torts are moving from their underground burrows to their temperature controlled houses. We set up a thermostat and cameras to make sure they stay within their comfort range at night. It gets chilly in the desert!
