Note to adopters: Lassie, Cleo, Rin Tin Tin and Toto don't show up in rescue. We don't get the elegantly coiffed, classically beautiful, completely trained, perfectly behaved dog. We get the leftovers. Dogs that other people have incompetently bred, inadequately socialized, ineffectively "trained," and badly treated. Most Rescue dogs have had it. They've been pushed from one lousy situation to another. They've never had proper veterinary care, kind and consistent training, or sufficient company. They've lived outside, in a crate, or in the basement. They're scared, depressed and anxious. Some are angry. Some are sick. Some have given up. But we are Rescue and we don't give up. We never give up on a dog. We know that a dog is a living being, with a spirit and a heart and feelings. Our dogs are not commodities, things, or garbage. They are part of sacred creation and they deserve as much love and care and respect as the next Westminster champion. So please, please don't come to rescue in the hopes of getting a "bargain," or indeed of "getting" anything. Come to Rescue to give, to love, to save a life -- and to mend your own spirit. For Rescue will reward you in ways you never thought possible. I can promise you this -- a rescue dog will make you a better person.

Many dogs have shared the stage on the big screen over the last 30 years…there’s ‘Beethoven’, ‘Buddy’ (Air Bud), ‘Einstein’ (Back to the Future), and ‘Hooch’ (Turner and Hooch) among many others. Perhaps the most widely recognized doggy superstar of the past 30 years has been ‘Benji’.
There were many Benji films between the mid 70’s and early 2000’s. Some of the more recognizable films include the self-titled “Benji” as well as “Benji The Hunted”, “Oh Heavenly Dog” and “For The Love of Benji”. Although most people are familiar with Benji and have seen at least one of the Benji films, there’s one thing about Benji that many people do not realize. Did you know that all of the dogs that have played Benji (yes, there have been several) have been adopted from shelters?
With the help of Joe Camp (creator and director of Benji films and the proud “pet parent” of Benji), we’ve managed to assemble 5 epic moments in Benji history. Each are spectacular, and can be considered to be
