Our agency has over 50 years of combined experience volunteering with rescues and shelters and we have excellent resources for helping dogs to find their best home yet and their last home -- forever! There is no better reward than a dog meeting his new family for the first time and knowing he has at last found a real home. When we receive pictures of him months later with a relaxed face or having fun...that's motivation to keep doing what we love...we're selfish that way!
We foster all of our dogs in great homes until the day they are ready to meet their new owners.
Our dogs are current on all vaccines and will be spayed or neutered prior to going to their new digs. We always try to do home visits to make sure our dog is the best choice for a potential adopter and we do check references! We want to make sure our pups are placed in an environment conducive to their needs and will fit into your lifestyle. Most times we do require a fenced yard but we have made exceptions for the right home. Contact us for an adoption application and we'll be happy to dig one out for you.
We are a registerd non-profit.

Additional adoption info
We require a potential adopter to complete an application that includes vet references and information on the type of dog owner you have been in the past. Most times we require a fenced yard as most our dogs have been strays and we want them to remain in secure loving forever homes. We do home visits when possible. We also reserve the right to refuse an adopter that we feel might not be a good match for a particular dog.
Our adoption fee is normally $125, however, there are times when it might be higher.
