POSO Dog Rescue

This Giving Tuesday, we are not only raising money for our future dogs, but for our mission that ALL fosters AND adopters get free training.

We are a dog rescue, doing more than dog rescue. 

This training and community support is something we have made it a priority to build into our rescue and a platform we also need to make sure we have funding for.

Is it extra work? Of course.

Do we have to hustle a little bit more because of it? Oh Yah. 

Are we doing it because it sets our fosters, adopters, and dogs (in and out of POSO) up for lifelong success? You know it. 

Donate today, lets save some dogs & continue to be able to provide our community with the training & resources they need to keep dogs out of the shelters! 

Now what you are all here for, some of our amazing dogs that have come through our rescue in 2025…

Maya:

Maya came to our rescue from a small town outside of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She once was owned by a family, but they moved away and left her. From there, she survived on the streets by herself, getting scraps of food from the locals.

She was found emaciated, with a broken jaw, severe blood infections, and a permanent leg twitch from surviving distemper.

Mya stayed with our Rescue a few months, and then was adopted by a family in Denver, Colorado who also has another small young dachshund dog. Today, her weight, energy level, and spirit are all normal to that of a healthy dog and she is thriving in her forever home.

Momma Dolly

After almost 500 Dogs, six years in Rescue, and a dozen truly “feral dogs", Momma Dolly remains the top spot as the most feral baby we have ever taken into our rescue.

Momma Dolly came into a southern Texas shelter found as a stray missing hair, feral, and worn down teeth. While in the shelter, she gave birth to three puppies and remained in the shelter for a few more weeks with her three babies.

As the three babies went on to get adopted at 10 weeks old, Momma Dolly still remained in our care extremely Farrell with little progress being made.

With a team of fosters and private trainers, we were three months in and we still were not able to get her to trust humans or walk on a leash.

After eight months with our rescue, and hundreds of training hours by our private trainers, she now walks on a leash, plays with other dogs, and looks for pets and affection from her human family. She has since put on a healthy weight and has a full coat, that is thick and curly. We expect Momma Dolly to continue to live a full, active, healthy life in the Denver, Colorado area. Currently, Momma Dolly is in a foster to adopt Home.

Lewis

Lewis was found as a stray in southern Texas, he was brought into the shelter as a feral husky mix with no fur. And when I say no fur, I mean completely Bald. His before picture was actually shocking of how little care he had to have received in his 1 to 2 years here on earth. Along with being feral, Lewis had a few blood infections that needed to be medically treated as well as building his confidence over numerous months before he could be adopted out.

Lewis now lives in the Boulder Colorado area with his adoptive family and his canine sibling. He now has a full coat, is bonded with his human family, and remains one of our most successful rehab cases of 2025.

Sierra

Sierra came into a Texas shelter along with about 20 other Husky/German Shepherd mixes that were part of a large hoarding case.

All 20 dogs came into the shelter missing fur, underweight, with blood infections, and afraid of all humans. All the dogs were thought to be living outside with a little to no human contact.

We first tried to bring Sierra up from Texas into Colorado and she was too sick to travel so she stayed in the shelter another month until she was stable.

The second time we tried to bring her up to Colorado. She got out of the Transport van ran into the woods and was lost for 24 hours. (Thank goodness for animal control, as they trapped and found her the very next day.)

Fast-forward to try number three of getting her to our fosters in Colorado, and she successfully entered our Rescue for a few month stay, as she gained her confidence in a family home, playing with other dogs, and improving her health and well-being. She then was adopted into a Denver, Colorado home with other dogs where she continues to live a healthy, happy life.

As far as Sierra's other siblings, all of them did make it out of the shelter and into other rescues throughout the United States.
