Behavior & Training

After spending years watching the shelter system deteriorate, watching countless of beautiful pets die, a vision of what could be began to take shape. Initially it was a dream. Soon a blue print for implementation of this dream was in place. Finally a strategy for changes that would most significantly impact the inhumane conditions of these precious pets was arrived at. Then, in 1997, New Leash On Life Animal Rescue was born, thanks to Bobby & Kelly Dorafshar. Since its inception, New Leash On Life has been responsible for spaying and neutering thousands of pets, rescuing and placing over 3,000 dogs, providing free educational seminars at local shelters, setting shelter rescue priorities on “hard to place” animals requiring medical or special care, founding the P.E.T.’s program (Pet Educational Trainers) and co-founding Partners for Life which saved hundreds at the East Valley Animal Shelter. Finally in March of 2002, a lease was signed on thirteen acres in the Santa Clarita Valley for our E.R.A Center (Education, Rehabilitation and Adoption) which serves as a safe haven for many companion animals and a learning resource for children and adults facilitating New Leash On Life’s dream of making Los Angeles a no-kill city. We've recently developed our Lend a Paw program, rescuing dogs from the shelter and training them as assistance and therapy dogs for people and children in need. In addition to our Lend a Paw training program, we are implementing a training program for all of our rescues. It is our goal to put each dog rescued from the shelter through an obedience training course prior to being placed for adoption. A very select few may be chosen for Lend a Paw, while most will be adopted to loving families immediately. By training each dog, the adoptive family has a better chance of developing a better bond and a permanent relationship. In addition, our dogs get a lot of human attention from our training volunteers while they wait for their new home.

We like to call ourselves a "promise" We like to call ourselves a "promise" shelter. We promise to do everything possible to find a home for every animal in our care. We will provide these animals with a safe environment. By serving as a temporary loving home, we increase their confidence and trust in humans. By providing a "home environment" such as housing in the Cat Village or Dog Dorms, we give them the housetraining and socializing they need to live with humans. By providing obedience and other classes to animal owners, we are creating a bond of love and trust between humans and their companion animals.

We are a group of friends that dedicate ourselves to saving dogs and cats, mostly dogs, that are found abandoned, starving, or in kill shelters or homeless street dogs or cats. We find pets we know are often abandoned in areas around Alberta, Canada, particularly the Morely Reserve, where calgarians often abandoned their pets, which end up breeding, leaving many puppies to starve, riddled with parasites, lonely and depressed, and freezing in the winter in far below zero. We rescue them because we care about their suffering. After rescue, spay and vaccinations, we post their photo and find them a good home with people wanting to adopt a pet. We help match a pet's personality, temperament, breed and size to the desires of an adoptee, and offer professional counseling for adopters needing additional help after adoption. We often help out other rescue organizations, and post photos of dogs they have at their shelter for adoption, and foster pets from their overcrowded shelter. We also help with more difficult dogs to adopt that are in a shelter, and place them in foster care to rehabilitate them so they are more easily ready for adoption.
