We take in the ones no one else wants. The ones that can’t live with other dogs. The ones who guard food, or beds, or space. The ones who’ve bitten people—sometimes badly. We do it because we believe in rehabilitation. Because we’ve seen miracles happen. Because we love dogs to our core.

Most campgrounds and trail systems are shared spaces. Your dog needs to be an asset, not an annoyance.

This handy guide will help you determine if your dog is ready to be off leash!
