Tug’s Story
Watch a short video detailing how far our beloved Rottie “Tug” has come since we first got him to today, he is living proof! Tug has transformed from being an aggressive “orphan” to a cherished and loving member of our family.
Gus and Violet took on Home Depot and did awesome! They maintained their composure despite the hustle and bustle of the store and holiday shopping festivities! Very proud of these two and excited to send them home tomorrow so they can begin a fresh start with their owner!

Great pictures! Happy Holidays to you all at BTK9🎄
Gus rocked his first field trip to Pole Green Park accompanied by Mika! He did a great job ignoring the distractions of people, dogs, and sniffs! He built confidence on the playground equipment and aced his heeling with Trainer Andre! Great work, Gus!
