Support Our Dream Dog Sport Facility





Dog Lovers Unite! Help us keep the dream alive!!! We are at risk of losing a property we fought so hard for!! We have out grown our current facility- in my back yard! It has been awesome being able to help so many dogs and their owners, but we need more room! In 2021 I found the perfect property, only 1 mile from our current facility. We raised $18,000 to get the down payment and we have been building the dream! It took 2 years of fighting the county, all the way to the county supervisors office to secure all the permits we needed, but WE WON~~~~!!! Now the loan is being called in and once again we have to fight to keep it alive! I thought we would be able to get an extension, unfortunately that is not going to happen, I have over $20,000 invested in improvements, every penny I have made has gone back in to make improvements to build this amazing Dog Sport Facility, the most comprehensive training facility on the west coast. With all the county fees, my credit cards are all maxed out and my savings is gone, but I cannot give up! Can you help give the dogs of Southern California their own Doggie Playland!!! We need to raise $104,000 to pay off the loan and hire an equipment operator to put the final touches on our agility yard, pool pad, and training yard to get us fully up and running. High Desert Dog Sports is a dog sport training facility dedicated to helping ALL dogs and their owners. We are licensed as an AKC, Barn hunt, UKC, and NASDA club. We are also the founders of the Original Shark Bite Games and Canine Scenting ability Test. Our Dock and Pool are listed as a premier NADD (North America Dog Diving) facility. We welcome all dogs and people. Behavior problems are one of the main reasons dogs are relinquished to shelters. By providing an exciting and fun outlet for their natural instincts and energy, we help them go home calm and relaxed. This same release of energy helps prevent dogs from being bored and roaming the neighborhood- which is a big problem, especially in our rural neighborhoods. We also work with our local 4-H kids to prepare for the fair dog shows that we have run for the last decade. Let's do this!!!

Highlights 1 We opened in 2017 and have reached over 4.4K followers on Facebook! 2 We help dogs live better lives! 3 We give dog owners a place to socialize while bonding with their dog! 4 All dogs- no matter, size, breed or mix, can find a fun job to enrich their lives! 5 Behavior issues are one of the top reasons dogs are relinquished to shelters- we help prevent that! 6 By giving a dog a natural outlet for their instincts and energy- they become better pets! 7 Dogs that have a chance to exercise their mind, are more content, which leads to less roaming! 8 Owners who train their dog develop a strong bond and the team accomplishes things together!

all funds received through donations will first go to pay off the land loan of $93,470.77. After that is covered the additional funds will be used as follows-
$9500.00 for tractor work to level our agility yard and our main training field including bulldozer, water truck, etc to meet permit needs.
Any funds in addition will be used to add fencing to enclose training yards and add additional irrigation pipe to bring water into more areas of the property.
