Our Adoption Process

Application, Contract, Home Check (if available)
The adoption fee for most of our dogs is $300 unless stated otherwise in the dog's bio. The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date shots and in most cases a micro chip. On rare occasion a dog's spay/neuter might be postponed if the dog is sick, too young or too thin.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
