My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bella is a smart and lovable dog! This pup knows every trick in the book! Bella is very active and could play fetch and swim all day long. This sweet girl was surrendered to us with a past of abuse and neglect. This makes it hard for Bella to trust people and other dogs. She will need lots of guidance and slow introductions when meeting people, and she should not interact with other dogs. Bella has learned many ways to manage her nerves around strangers and will need a confident owner to implement her training. Bella would do best in an adult-only home with a fully fenced backyard.

We will respond via email within a few days.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

Additional visits may be required. If a dog or cat is in the home we will require them to meet the dog you're interested in

4.

Take the Pet Home

If all goes well we will book an appointment for you to pick up your new family member! At this time we will complete paperwork and payment.

Additional adoption info

Due to the high volume of applicants, we are only able to move forward with families that are ready to adopt now. If you aren’t ready to adopt now, please apply when you are ready to welcome a dog into your home. After your initial appointment, once the adoption has been approved, we will require the dog to be picked up within one week unless we determine otherwise.

Our hope is that all homes are a forever home, however we understand that circumstances can change, and that sometimes it just isn't the right fit. Whether you discover this three days after the adoption, or three years after the adoption, we will always welcome our dogs back with open arms. Their well-being is our top concern.

All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, examined by a vet, dewormed, given flea and tick prevention, groomed

Our adoption fees:

Under 1 year old (11 months or less) - $950
1-7 years old - $800
8+ years old - $500
Sanctuary - $50
Palliative* - $50
Special Needs* - $50
Bonded pairs - 30% off the total price

*For Palliative and Special Needs dogs we will discuss on a case by case basis what Dog Tales will cover financially, if applicable

Along with medical care, our team provides all of the love, attention and training that our rescues need to recover from their difficult pasts, so that they can move on to permanent, loving homes, which most do. For the rest, Dog Tales is home for as long as they need it to be.

Providing a home to a dog in need is an incredibly rewarding experience. When you adopt from Dog Tales you are joining our growing community.
