Meet Riot the Rescue & read his rocky story from Collin County Animal Services to his forever home with responsible owners!
If you’ve volunteered, worked, fostered or adopted from Collin County Animal Services from July-October in 2024 you may think this dog looks familiar!
Formerly known as “Canoe” he was a volunteer favorite, sweet, playful and charismatic with humans he even caught the eye of more than one adopter, unfortunately they were the wrong adopters…
One of the failed adopters paper returned him saying he dug when he was left out in the yard (in the summer heat) and that wasn’t going to work for them.
The other failed adoption paper stated he couldn’t handle the persistent barking. (WOW a dog that barks)
That was when his final adopters said a prayer, made an agreement that if he was still there by a certain date he was going through the adoption process for the last time.
Guess what. He was adopted, he was given 2 weeks to rest, feel comfortable and be introduced to his main handler and the rest of his pack (3 more dogs)
Then he started training with his new family here at Dog Training Elite. (He was well mannered but the pre-teen handler was ready to learn how to be the best handler and responsible owner she could be)
He hasn’t been returned since he was adopted in October, he has 2 more rescued brothers from CCAS that he gets to play with. He doesn’t dig and his family LOVES his yodeling and singing.
Adopt a dog from a shelter, let us see the adoption papers and we will offer 20% off our dog training programs for DFW (we do have some zip code limitations)
Adopt a dog, give them time to decompress, meet your family and build that trust, submit the form in our bio and speak with a professional dog training for free during a in-home evaluation.
Every dog has the potential to become a great dog, you just have to give them a fair chance.
