Millions of dogs and cats are just waiting for a home to call their own, and by adopting a rescue pet you are truly saving a life! We just wanted to take a moment to let you know that we think you are awesome!

The home visit allows us to get a better understanding of your family and your lifestyle so you meet dogs that fit your family. All members of your family must be present for the home visit.
3. Once you are approved, the foster home will contact you.
All our dogs are in foster homes, so you will need to be an approved adopter before meeting any of our rescue dogs.
4. The foster home will schedule a meet-and-greet.
All members of your family must be present for the meet and greet. If you have other pets, a controlled introduction to other pets in the home will also be conducted at this time. We want to make sure everyone gets along!
5. You have 24 hours to make your decision.

ADOPTION FEES:
Adoption fees range from $200 to $600 depending on the age and breed of the rescue you are adopting. Puppies and purebred breeds may be at the higher fee range. Seniors and dogs with ongoing medical issues may be at the lower fee range.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all our fees go back into the care and cost of intaking more rescues.
ADOPTABLES:
NOTE: Because we are a medical-only rescue, we go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are healthy before moving on to their forever homes. All of our dogs have had a thorough vet check, have been vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped. All medical records are given to adopters at the time of adoption.
