My story

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

Darcy Rose is about 1½ years old. She was rescued from a backyard puppy mill along with eighteen other small dogs. When she came to her foster home, she was terrified of everybody and everything. She had no social skills and trusted no one to touch her or get close. Over the past several weeks she has learned to trust and accept love in her dog-friendly foster home. With the help of three small dogs, she has learned how to be a dog and belong to a pack. She has learned how to eat her meals from her bowl without encroaching on the others' meals. Darcy is now beginning to learn basic commands and will sit with her foster family while they watch a movie. She has gone from not knowing how to be touched, to wanting to be cuddled. Darcy is beginning to blossom like a rose! She is smart, loving, and so sweet. All she wants is to be loved and accepted. This little girl will be a dream come true for a family or single person.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Cat adoption fee is $125, and $175 for dogs. We attempt to match the animal's characteristics with the family and their lifestyle. We require an application form, which becomes part of the adoption contract, a personal or phone interview, veterinarian reference if applicable, home visit, and an additional agreement about how the animal will be treated. Cats must be indoors only, not declawed. Dogs must be fenced or leashed when outdoors and treated as part of the family--indoors as much as possible, and always at night. Adopter agrees to provide regular veterinary care, and to return the animal to us if they ever give it up. We reserve the right to check on the animal's welfare from time to time, with appropriate notice.

Go meet their pets

As a volunteer group, we do not have a facility. Our animals reside in foster homes. We show them at local events and by appointment.

More about this rescue

We are an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue group, with emphasis on mixed-breed dogs and cats. We adopt primarily from our local animal shelter, although we occasionally take in hardship cases. We also assist individuals in our area by advertising on our website animals they need to rehome, if the animals have been spayed/neutered. We donate pet food to a local food bank as well as to the county senior center's pet food distribution. We fund free spay/neuter and vaccinations through a local veterinary service for low-income families. We gratefully accept donations, and we need volunteers for many events. More than anything, we need foster homes.
