pranaPUPS
pranaDOGS works with shelters, rescues, and individuals to
take in and rehab dogs who need more than they can get.
Focusing on anxious, shy, and shut-down dogs, our approach
remains consistent, though the time and effort required varies for
each dog. While some dogs can be helped quickly, others require longer.
​
Below are members of the pranaDOGS family, dogs currently
available for adoption, and some of our Alumni

Dogs
At pranaDOGS Behavior & Rehab Center we have dogs who are in different
stages of training. Each dog is given their own area within a group setting.
Dogs are separated for feeding and training but co habitate for down times
and group play.
​
Each dog is run through our 3-step Support, then Stretch Program. They start in an adjustment phase where they build trust in us and their surroundings. Then we identify problems when we begin expanding their environments (bringing them to different places). The 3rd step is where we train and build confidence.
​
Dogs typically stay at prana 3wks - 3mo before being returned to the sponsoring organization for adoption. Some dogs, who were not able to be adopted have come back to prana to help us train the new kiddos.
​
Cobalt
This young guy is a total love. He's been passed around a bit so he can be a bit clingy but nothing that can't be managed. He loves love and if you let him he'll curl up on your lap! He recently discovered the river and loved going in it to play. He's still growing and seems to have some Akita tendencies. Cobalt is available through Rezdawg Rescue.
Kpop
This total love bug is deaf but you'd never know it. He came to us after having a hard time communicating but has since figured it out and does great with the other dogs and regular household routines. This is a guy who's really looking to snuggle!!! Available through Rezdawg Rescue.
Spike
Are you looking for a ball player? How about a trail companion? If you have the desire to have a fun, active dog, Spike is your guy. Not only will he drop the ball in your lap for you to throw it, he'll happily cover you with kisses when you do. Spike is a fun guy, but can be a bit nervous in new situations. Spike is a longterm resident who helps us train.
Elsa
If you're looking for the perfect girl, look no further! Else is a love! She can often be found carrying a stuffed animal. Great in the car, on hikes and with the cat, this girl just curls up on a chair and enjoys life. Available through Denkai Sanctuary.
Mogli
This sweetheart enjoys walking, adventures and tennis balls. He is a natural at retrieve but can be selective when meeting new people. Mogli experienced some trauma as a pup so he's slow to trust but once he does, he doesn't forget. He would do best in a calmer, quieter environment where he could have his own person. Mogli is available through Rezdawg Rescue.
Cisco
Beautiful, gentle Cisco was brought to pranaDOGS after enduring time in a less-than-hospitable place where he endured an injury followed by an untreated infection :( After being saved and treated by Durango Animal Connection, he was transferred to prana. Cisco's recovery has been slow but all uphill. He's a longterm resident who is still healing and finding is footing more every day.
