Rescue FAQs

We adopt out primarily in Mobile and Baldwin counties. We aren't opposed to adopting to a suitable home if they aren't located here though.

Additional adoption info

Fees vary from dog to dog. Usually they start around $75 and can go as high as $300 depending on vet bills, travel, etc.

There is an application to fill out, and if approved, a contract. Both are very personal...for a reason. We will work with the right applicant but we're very serious about the information given to us.

We require home visits, vet references, personal references, fences, and the ability to show that you are able and willing to care for the dogs for the long term.

Most of the time phone calls and emails are answered immediately. However, there are times when it can take a day or 2. Please be patient...But if you haven't heard from anyone with 48 hrs, please contact us again.
