Johnny was born on a large farm where his young body was subject to standard industry procedures such as castration, tail docking, and tattooing. On this trip to the feedlot at just a few weeks old, Johnny fell from the transport truck onto a rural highway. Thankfully a kind woman discovered him shortly thereafter and pulled him dazed, terrified, bruised and scraped, off the frozen road and into her warm home. We picked him up a few days later.

Phoebe was surrendered by his caretakers after he developed a severe case of wry neck, a condition that caused his neck to twist and turn his head up under him. He was unable to walk or feed himself when he arrived at just 11 weeks old. His condition resulted from malnutrition and he quickly responded to assisted feedings and supplementation to his diet.

Monte was rescued from a stock yard where he was too sick to stand. Luckily a rescuer was on site and was able to get him released before he was sent into the auction ring. He spent a month in the hospital before coming to Lasa.

Surrendered, discovered in Craigslist ad living a life of neglect and severe malnourishment

Rescued from death road at city pound when we went in to make a donation on the last day before euthanasias began. Was told by officer there that he wouldn't likely "be a good pet" and that he "hate[s] dogs like that", so we couldn't leave him behind. Now is a very treasured and celebrated part of our family!
