About Our Rescue Group

We are a group of animal lovers that felt too many wonderful dogs were spending too much time without a home. We keep these guys with us in fostering home atmosphere as if they were one of our pets. They get walked, played with, a wellness diet, good medical care, and will even sleep comfortably in the bed with their favorite human.
Adoption is handled on a case by case basis. Our focus is the connection between a prospective family and our beloved rescue. We even require a temporary period of visitation, both supervised and not, to ensure proper placement.
All of our rescues have great success stories!

Come Meet our Pets

Our Adoption Process

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.
