We provide love, medical attention, and transportation along the way to a new family. We are a small rescue group who is run solely by volunteers. We have a rescue house and several foster homes so we can take the dogs in and crate train, house train, allow time for healing physically, mentally, and emotionally for the dogs. We work a lot with socialization and take the dogs to doggy daycare, have them groomed, all that we can do to help them become a loving family member. We do this for them because they do so much for us.

We rescue from the city of Richmond and surrounding counties and from rural areas in Virginia. We do rescue some breeds from further distances. We are not breed specific. We rescue pure bred dogs and mixes of various sizes and do work with a lot of special needs cases including extreme medical conditions and puppy mill rescues.
Additional adoption info
We do require an application, vet reference, home visit, and foster process before any dog is permanently placed in a home. A fee scale from $75 to $350 is required based on breed, age, and medical treatment of the rescued dog. We only adopt within a two hour radius of the Richmond, VA area.
