THEY WEREN'T BROKEN.
JUST MISUNDERSTOOD

Trained. Socialized. Ready for a new life.

Why Our Rescue Dogs Thrive

We are proud to have received the Mayor’s Award for Small Business Making a Difference — a recognition fueled by the voices of neighbors and volunteers who have seen our unwavering commitment to dogs in need.

 

At THE DOG SERVICES, rescue is not a side effort — it’s at the heart of who we are. From helping nonprofits assess and train harder-to-place dogs, to catching strays, educating overwhelmed owners, and providing hands-on rehabilitation, we give our time, skills, and hearts to save dogs others have overlooked.

This page is a reflection of that work. Here, you’ll find dogs currently available for adoption — and a gallery of past rescues who went from being forgotten to living their best lives, all thanks to dedicated rehabilitation, behavior training, and a second chance. When you train with us or support our work, you’re not just helping your own dog — you’re helping save another.

Our adopters must be committed to continuing structure, training, and treating our dogs like true family. They are not backyard dogs—they are companions.

WHAT SETS OUR RESCUE APART

One-Dog-at-a-Time Focus

We don’t overcrew’d. Each rescue is part of our home, not a kennel.

Health & Grooming

All dogs are fully vetted, bathed, and ready to integrate into family life.

Behavioral Training

Dogs are trained in real-world settings for long-term success.

Daily Socialization

Dogs meet people, go on field trips, and build confidence daily.

Adopter Education

Every adopter is coached on structure, behavior, and decompression.

Trauma-Informed Care

We don’t just house them — we heal them.

MEET OUR ADOPTABLE

We take in one dog at a time to ensure full training, socialization, and emotional healing. This individual approach allows us to give each dog the best possible chance at a successful, lifelong adoption—and it ensures we can financially support their full journey.

No dog currently available. We're working behind the scenes to save the next one. Be the first to know—subscribe below or follow our journey on social media.

Interested in Getting Involved Early?

 

  • When you adopt one of our rescue dogs early in their rehabilitation, you don’t just get a trained companion—you get to be part of their journey. Early adopters are invited to join us through the training process, build trust and connection, and help shape the dog’s transition into a stable, loving home. It’s not just adoption—it’s partnership.

This is an interest list only. You’re not committing to adopt and there’s no guarantee of placement—just early access to learn more about the next rescue.

“Loved. Trained. Adopted.”

These are the faces of change. Each one came to us unsure, reactive, or shut down—and left as a loved companion. Their stories are proof that transformation takes time, trust, and training.

Thank you and we look forward to helping you,

EDUCATION MATTERS

Understanding is the first step towards success. Learn how to support your new rescue dog with empathy, structure and preparation

3-3-3 Rule

Adopted dogs need time to adjust. The 3-3-3 Rule explains what to expect during the first 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months—so you can help your dog feel safe, supported, and understood.

Why Training Is Essential

Training gives your dog structure, which builds trust and security. Especially for rescues, it helps them feel safe, connected, and ready to thrive.

Our Adoption Process

We don’t rush adoptions. We match the right dog to the right home—through a process built on respect, readiness, and long-term success.

A Dog Is a Lifetime Commitment

Adoption isn’t temporary—it’s for life. Rescue dogs have already been let down once. They need a home that stays, even when it’s hard.

Help Us Help Them

Your support keeps our rescue going. We don't rely on donations or grants— our training clients fund every rescue we take in.
