Stonecliffe Animal Rescue Dog and Puppy Rescue and Adoptions

Stonecliffe Animal Rescue - Dog and Puppy Rescue - Don't Breed or Buy While Shelter Pets Die

"don't breed or buy while shelter pets die"

Hello Dublin!!!  

We are going to start blogging about our rescue and our adoption events.  Stonecliffe Animal Rescue is physically located in Lemoore, CA, close to Hanford and about a half hour from Fresno.  

Our shelter is made up mainly of kennels located on a private residence/ranch. The owner and operator, Terri Stonehocker does this work, rescuing and saving lives because she loves what she does, she saw a problem and faced it head on with what she could do.  

Many of the dogs from the rescue come from high kill shelters in the central valley.  We are luckier than the folks down there that love dogs, Terri talks a lot about so many dogs getting dumped and abandoned.  

So Terri helps shelters like Madera, Merced, Kings County Animal Services and the Fresno CCSPCA, Ventura county and others. here are so many adoptable dogs that just need a chance at life, a good home.  

The good news, the people of Dublin and the Tri-Valley have been providing wonderful homes, great dog loving community and we love placing our dogs here.

We save all types and ages, puppies, mommie dogs, senior dogs and lots of young adults, we even save Pit bulls because we know the breed is not the problem, people that mistreat them are!    

Over the last year we have had great success builing a volunteer network for our adoption events and foster homes for those that need some TLC.  We can always use more, so let us know if you want to give it a try.  We place approximately 650 dogs into homes and were trying to do more.  It's not easy work and I'm just a volunteer giving my insight, the real hard work the heartbreak, the how to choose which dog gets a chance at life, that's the stuff a lot of us could never do and we're so lucky the strong ones do it. 

We hold adoption events every other Saturday at the Dublin at 6960 Amador Plaza Road from 11 am to 3 pm.  When you see the big white van parked right up on the sidewalk, you'll know Stonecliffe is in town.  We will generally have 30 - 40 dogs at our events, it's a big selection.  All the dogs are already spayed or neutered, vaccinated with all age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and wormed.  

All of our available pets can be seen at www.petfinder.com/shelters/CA1005.html and you can watch us on  our facebook page, search Stonecliffe Animal Rescue.  

Our next adoption event is August 11th.

At the end of August we will have 5 pekingese and shih tzu puppies, they are precious, keep an eye out for more posts later!

You cannot compare the behavior of a wild animal versus a domesticated animal.

No offense, but keep drinking the kool-aid. I don't think all pit bulls are dangerous anymore thanRead More I think great white sharks will get every surfer, but God knows when they bite the person being bitten is in grave trouble!

Actually, Pit Bulls are one of the most well-behaved, well-trained dogs out there, to both theirRead More owners and their familes, if they are trained to be that way. Only drawback to Pits, though, is that they drool a lot, just like any other hunting dog out there. Back in 2009, there was a story in Berkeley about how a Pit Bull saved her owner's life in a house fire, and all anybody could see was that it was a Pit Bull and nothing more. If you train a dog to have a nice and sweet disposition, guess what, the dog will have a nice and sweet disposition. And if you train a dog to fight, maim and kill, guess what it's gonna do? Doesn't matter the breed. I've known Dachshunds who were mean and resorted to biting in an instant as I have known Pit Bulls who were nice--but slobbered a lot. And about the only reason that Pits have the reputation that they do out there is more to do with the viewpoint of the person who believes that all Pits are dangerous to begin with and that perhaps one of their other biases may be a work here, like they hate people whom they believe to be "trash" or "thugs" perhaps, but that's more an indication of their prejudice than their experience with these dogs or any other breed out there. I've known Springer Spaniels out there that started out as sweet dogs with nice dispositions, but as they aged and their brians atrophied into cancer, they turned into vicious dogs and had to be put down. Like people, dogs are individuals, too.
