Canine Rehabilitation Center and Sanctuary (CRCS)

Several years ago a man abandoned his home. Inside he left his young female dog, Piper. Family members found her, tied her up in their back yard, and kept her isolated there for one year. Finally tired of the dog, they surrendered her to their local shelter. Due to behavior, she wasn’t made available for adoption. For months she couldn’t get out of her kennel, go on walks, or interact with people. One year later, Piper was still living at the shelter. Eventually adopted, though she was returned within four days and labeled “unadoptable”. Her future was not looking bright. When we rescued Piper she was a mess. She wasn’t bonding with people, couldn’t focus on anything, and couldn’t be near other dogs. As we got to know her, we discovered so much about her little personality. When observing her in different environments, her behavior told us what she so desperately craved. We listened to her requests, slowly she blossomed. She became affectionate, learned manners, was socialized with other dogs, and even learned how to play. After 4 months of practice and 224 hours of socialization training, she was ready for a forever home. After much searching, we found a family that fit Piper’s requests. She was adopted! She now happily lives with two other dogs, a cat, and parents that adore her! These days Piper can be found running on the beach in Tahoe, hiking with her family, or snuggling with her canine sibling. We still keep in touch with Piper’s parents. Piper was not our first client, nor the last. She is one of many amazing souls we have been honored to work with. We are CRCS, and with open arms we welcome dogs with no hope. We are dedicated to the dog that sits in a shelter for two years, only to have someone meet them and say "no thanks". We are dedicated to the dog labeled "un-adoptable" and scheduled to be euthanized through no fault of their own. We are dedicated to the dog that gets adopted and returned in the shelter system over and over. Our story is more than finding them a home; it is about providing guidance and love, training and socialization, life skills and practice out in the community. We stand for something much bigger than "saving a dog". It is about listening to the dog and understanding what type of environment THEY are asking for. Our story is about bringing people and dogs together. There are no "good" dogs and "bad" dogs. Just dogs with stories. These are our clients and they have our heart. We would be humbled to win the $10,000.00. With this money we would expand our services, save more lives, and create more stories like Piper’s. We wouldn’t be who we are today without community support and those angels that help share our stories. Thank you for this opportunity Reno Dodge. Forever grateful, the CRCS team & supporters.
