Our goal is always to provide loving, forever homes to wonderful dogs in order to ensure their well being and lasting happiness.
We are a group of dedicated volunteers working to save the lives of wonderful pets who may have been abandoned, dumped or surrendered by the people they loved and trusted. Their only problem is that they don't have a forever home to go to.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption donation is usually $300 (puppies $350) . The cost for adoption is based on the best vet care available. In some case our vet cost for some very ill dogs has exceeded $1000. The average cost to us before any dog is adopted out ranges from $358 to $598. This can be higher if more services are required such as teeth cleaning. However our adoption donation will remain the same.
All dogs receive initial vetting before arriving in rescue. All of our dogs are seen by our vet to ensure that the dog is healthy and protected. They are given any additional vaccinations needed, are checked for parasites and placed on heart worm treatment.
Adult dogs will be spayed and/or neutered prior to being placed.
We require an application for adoption and we do vet and personal reference checks . Home visits are scheduled once a prospective family has been selected. After the new home has been chosen an adoption contract is also required along with a spay/neuter contact if applicable.
Completing an application or having a home visit does not ensure that you will be eligible to adopt one of Smooch's dogs. We look for the best match for each dog. Please make sure that you have made the decision to adopt a dog before completing an application. We take this very seriously and spend a lot of time on all applicants.
