Rescue FAQs

We do adopt to qualified families who reside out-of-state!

Featured Pooch of the Week: TIGGER

TIGGER is playful, energetic, and loving, just like Winnie The Pooh's best friend, minus the stripes.....oh, and he's a dog! He has the best smile on the planet! You can make that smile even bigger by giving him his forever home. He is 4 years old, 55-60 pounds. He could probably win a 5K as he loves to run with his foster Dad. He also walks fine on leash for those who prefer a slower pace. Tigger is housebroken and crate-trained. Up to date on shots and neutered. He knows basic commands and LOVES to give kisses. He would prefer to be an only dog although he might be fine with a submissive dog companion. He should be okay with cats given a proper introduction. Tigger would be wonderful with older children. He has a bit too much energy for younger ones. He's a happy, spirited boy who will definitely light up your life and bring endless smiles to YOUR face. Please contact Ann at acecrumb@verizon.netfor more information and for an application.

Additional adoption info

We require that all potential adopters fill out an adoption application, provide all requested references, participate in a home visit and agree to our contract stipulations. We strive to make the best match possible for both the adoptee and the adoptive family.
