Rescue FAQs

We have been fostering dogs since early 2019 through various rescues.
What better way to showcase them then in a playful, happy, loving environment with other loving dogs in our community.
Recently we have started changing things as we are looking for our pups to go into foster homes/foster to adopt.
We typically fly dogs in from over capacity shelters in Texas, drive puppers over from Yakima, and still have an amazing relationship with a partnering rescue in Mexico.
