Kali’s Journey – From Shelter Countdown to a Happy Life in Agoura Hills

On November 1st, 2022, Kali—a sweet Pit/Lab mix—was pulled from a shelter just days before her time was up, thanks to Rebirth Rescue Animal Sanctuary. While her full history is unknown, it was clear from the start that Kali was a fun-loving, gentle girl… unless you’re a cat, in which case, expect a playful chase around the kitchen table!

Kali began board-and-train with Isaac at PawsitiveDawg.com for leash manners, basic obedience, and impulse control—essential skills for helping her succeed in a home. Within days, Kali was already showing progress: she began socializing with other dogs, learning to stay calm before exiting her kennel, and showing real leash improvement.

By mid-November, she was ready for her next step. At the last moment, a family stepped forward to foster-to-adopt. Though they later backed out, hope wasn’t lost—soon after, an elderly couple in Agoura Hills met Kali and fell in love. She officially joined their family in early December 2022, and the match couldn’t have been better.

By July 2023, we received a heartwarming update: although Rebirth Rescue sadly had to close, Kali is thriving. Her new family is fully committed—they even enrolled her in rattlesnake avoidance training after Kali proudly brought home a rattlesnake she had caught! (She’ll need a few more sessions, clearly.)

Kali is living her best life, and her story is a reminder of what’s possible with the right support, training, and second chances. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped her find her forever home.
