Meet Sunbelt & Freight, a sweet brother-sister duo who are looking for a home together! At just 2 years old, these two have a bond that gives them confidence and comfort. While they can be a little shy when apart, together they shine! โ˜€๏ธ

๐Ÿก About Them:

๐Ÿถ Dog-friendly โ€“ They enjoy the company of other pups!

โค๏ธ People-loving โ€“ Once they warm up, they adore affection.

๐Ÿงธ Toy fanatics โ€“ Playtime is their favorite time!

๐ŸŒฒ Adventurous spirits โ€“ Theyโ€™d thrive with an active family who enjoys outdoor fun.

๐Ÿ‘ฆ Kid-friendly (7+) โ€“ Best suited for older kids who understand their initial shyness.

Sunbelt is the braver, more confident one, while Freight is gentle and submissive, happily following his sisterโ€™s lead. Together, they balance each other out beautifully.

If youโ€™re looking for a dynamic duo to bring double the love, fun, and companionship into your life, Sunbelt & Freight are waiting for you! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’™

Adoptable Senior Spotlight

All dogs featured in this section are apart of our Senior Dog Program which means: all dogs adoption fees are covered and all of their medical care is covered for life.

๐Ÿพ Meet Bottlecap โ€“ Your Future Sunbathing Buddy! โ˜€๏ธ

Bottlecap is a stunning Rottweiler mix with a personality as big as her heart! This outgoing, friendly girl absolutely adores people and is always ready to greet new friends with a wagging tail. Whether itโ€™s lounging in the sun, snuggling on the couch, or going for a car ride, Bottlecap is all about soaking up the good life. ๐Ÿš—โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’› Sheโ€™s looking for a home where she can be the only petโ€”she wants all the love and attention to herself! Because of her playful energy, we recommend a household with kids 10 and up. If youโ€™re searching for a loyal, loving companion whoโ€™s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug, Bottlecap is your girl! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’•

๐Ÿพ Meet Tots! ๐Ÿพ

At 8 ยฝ years young, Tots is still full of life and always ready for her next adventure! We havenโ€™t told her sheโ€™s getting olderโ€”so as far as she knows, sheโ€™s still a playful pup.

Tots is a one-of-a-kind girl with a heart of gold. She lost an eye due to a bad ulcer when she arrived, but donโ€™t worryโ€”sheโ€™s never even noticed! She navigates life like a champ and doesnโ€™t let anything slow her down.

She loves toysโ€”whether sheโ€™s playing on her own or engaging with her favorite humans. And while she still has plenty of energy, sheโ€™s just as happy to Netflix and chill after some playtime. Oh, and did we mention? She loves the water!

Tots is looking for a home where she can be the only pet and would do best with kids 10 and up. If youโ€™re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will keep you entertained and then snuggle up by your side, Tots is your girl!

OUR NEW WOLF-DOG SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IS READY TO HOWL!

Our Wolves need sponsors!

Long before Villalobos Rescue Center became a safe haven for the misunderstood, there were the wolves and the wolf dogs. They were the heart, the soul, the very foundation of what we are today. Without them, there would be no second chances, no redemption stories, Villalobos Rescue Center- Life 4 Paws, Inc.

Meet Black

Meet Dani

These majestic creatures, often cast aside and feared, taught us the meaning of resilience, loyalty, and survival. They paved the way for the pit bulls, the misfits, and every underdog weโ€™ve fought for since. Now, we honor them in the way they deserveโ€”by giving them a world of their own.

๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿพ Our wolves and wolf dogs now have their own dedicated website! ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒฒ

Visit https://vrcwolfdog.com to learn about their stories, their spirits, and why they continue to be the guardians of our mission. Please help us honor them by joining our wolfdog sponsorship program and following their journey with us through our new website and TikTok platform.
