Dogs and their relatives in the Canidae family—the wolves, jackals, foxes, and coyotes—are often called canines. There's no definitive answer to how many dog breeds exist in the world, but estimates range from around 360 to over 400. For centuries, dogs have assisted humans with farm work. There are a lot of dog breeds that adjust well to living in a rural countryside setting. But some dogs have been bred specifically to thrive doing farm work, whether herding livestock, protecting the farm and its inhabitants, exterminating vermin, or helping with other tasks. The Sanctuary currently supports three dogs.

The resident dogs are allowed inside with me, they just happen to prefer to be where I am. Since I am outside a lot caring for the large animals, the dogs spend a lot of time outdoors. They also have access to a covered shed if they want to get in out of the weather or they can join the horses in their run-ins.

The Sanctuary is set up to maintain two dogs. You may notice that I said that I have three. Umm, yeah, I was a pushover and took in one more dog last year. For several reasons, we absolutely cannot handle any more at this time.
