My name is DUG!

Although our shelter location is in the Antelope Valley, primarily due to space, we will come to you for meet and greet once your application has been approved. A home check will be required prior to adoption with no exceptions. Prior to adopting we will ask for a donation (adoption fee) spay/neuter deposit if the animal is too young to have surgery, and the completion of a contract. We will also follow-up with adopters to check on the status of the animals to insure they are well cared for. Requirements depend on the individual needs of the animals and will be discussed when meeting. We expect all animals to be part of your family.

Please email us to obtain an application. We typically do not return calls until we have written contact with a potential adopter as time is always limited and we must focus on serious adopters only. We are by appointment only and only when you have completed an application and agree to the adoption terms.

We are a small rescue group who primarily adopts animals taken from high kill shelters and who are abandoned. We also network animals and provide resource information regarding spay/neuter programs. Our goal is to reduce the number of homeless animals, educate the public, and rehome abused, neglected, and unwanted animals with and without special needs.
