HOPE

After having spent many years as a corrections officer, an unfortunate motorcycle accident changed her life. Her husky, Murphy, helped her stay strong through a very long recovery process. Since then, Hope has dedicated her life to helping dogs the way Murphy helped her and has changed the lives of many dogs and owners through consistent volunteer work, shadow programs, and working with local shelters and rescues.

Lumen

Lumen is a 13-year-old (best estimate) German Shepherd and our retired lead helper dog. She was picked up as a wounded and emaciated stray in California and rescued with exactly 16 minutes left before she was scheduled to be put down in a high kill shelter. RAIN rescue brought her to Washington state and patched her back together, and we drove 6 hours each way to bring her home. She has rehabbed thousands of aggressive dogs, guided puppies, and socialized pushy pups for the last 6 years. She has grown into the perfect dog.

Genesis

Genesis is a 6-year-old German Shepherd and is the primary helper for dog-aggressive dogs at Method K9. She came to us through a private adoption after the family who owned her could not keep up with her intense drives. She had developed human, dog, food, and toy aggression, but has since made a full recovery. Her playful spirit is contagious and she can teach even the most aggressive dogs to loosen up. She is responsible for hundreds of lives saved.

Clark

Clark is an 3-year-old Belgian Malinois and is the primary male helper dog at Method K9. Clark was purchased from a breeder by his previous family. They were not prepared for the destructive nature of a puppy and surrendered him to Rescue4All at 5 months of age. After a lengthy evaluation and foster process, we decided to make Clark part of our team. He has a dorky, spunky, not-quite-a-malinois mentality which has earned him the name Clark Kent (our undercover superhero.)
