Additional adoption info

We rescue dogs and place them in foster homes until they are ready for adoption. We vaccinate, spay/neuter, microchip, and provide any additional care such as surgery or rehabilitation. We help each dog get ready to be placed in a happy forever home.

Potential adopters are asked to complete an online adoption application and may be visited by one of our volunteers to do a home interview. We aim to find the best fit for each dog's needs.

Adoption fees are as follows: Puppies less than one year old - $400, Dogs between 1 and 5 - $350, and Dogs over the age of 6 - $300.

Dogs from Turkey, China, and Korea - adoption fees range from $350 to $1,000 depending on if the dog is sponsored by his/her rescuer (which lowers the cost to bring them in).
