Rescue FAQs

We are a foster home based rescue organization. Our network of homes are located in the Pioneer Valley area in Western Massachusetts. We also offer a remote rehoming service helping families in other areas.

Additional adoption info

Our mission is to keep family pets out of animal shelters by offering a loving alternative.

If you're ready to take the next step in adoption, the first step is to complete our adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rehomed pets.

Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form, pay the adoption fee, and schedule an adoption date with the pet's current family.
