We believe in positive reinforcement training and techniques. We do our very best to insure your new family member is a perfect fit for your lifestyle. We have over 25 years in rescue. We are completely volunteer- and foster-based... there are NO paid positions.
While the dog probably came originally from an animal shelter off of a kill list or was relinquished by their owner for whatever reason, these small dogs live with us and our families as they undergo rehabilitation and get healthy. We uncover behavior issues or lack of training, remedy the issues that caused these dogs to arrive in the shelter system and teach them good canine behaviors so each placement will be a 'furever' one. We advise new adopters of any known issues that we are aware of prior to adoption (medical, physical, social, etc.). We have very few returns because of the time we take prior to adoption to make sure the dog will fit into your lifestyle and family.
Our goal is to save one dog at a time (and usually the most needy), but to insure they have every opportunity to never end up in the shelter systems again because of a lack of training or bad habits... hence the choice of our name - for our little ones ARE tiny, loving canines.
Our adoption fees run between $100 and $400, depending upon the age of the dog (puppies are on the higher end whereas the older dogs are on the lower end of the scale). When you adopt a puppy, you are in essence saving more than one dog for we put all of those monies (and usually more) into the other dogs that have been left behind at the shelters... your new puppy is not only saved, but their adoption fee pays for the much higher vets bills (i.e. dentals, meds, blood panel tests, etc.) that are needed for the older dogs to insure they are as healthy as we can get them prior to moving onto their furever home. In other words, your adoption of a puppy 'pays it forward' for older dogs to be saved...
We are also part of the "Purina Pets For Seniors". If you are a senior over 60, and there are funds available at the time of the adoption, you might be able to qualify for a $50 discount on the adoption donation of your dog. Ask one of the volunteers for further information on this program.
Ventura County Sheriff's K-9 Search and Rescue team is a volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3).
