Rescue FAQs

We are based out of the Tampa Bay area but we will adopt our dogs anywhere within the state of Florida.

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters must currently live in the state of Florida. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered.

We do our best to review applications within 48 hours. Home ownership, landlord permission, and veterinary references will be verified. If everything checks out, you will be contact to schedule a home visit. We ask that every member of the family be present during the home visit. If the home visit goes well, a meet and greet will be scheduled with the dog you are interested in. If it feels like a match, we will arrange for a sleepover to give you time to get to know each other and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone before signing the adoption papers and celebrating your new addition.

Please click here to submit an application. Please answer every question in detail. If a question does not apply to you, please write not applicable or n/a in the answer box.

The adoption fee of $200 includes a spay/neuter surgery, age appropriate vaccines, and a microchip.
