Red Dog Haven's adoption process

We charge $125 for the adult dogs. This is a re-homing fee that shows a sincere interest in the pet by the potential adopter. We require an application with references, a vet reference, and a home safety inspection. References are called. We also prefer a fenced yard.

About Red Dog Haven
I am an individual that became aware of the euthanasia of animals in 2012, at a shelter in Texas, and to my horror, this was happening everywhere due to overpopulation. I had not been in this arena before. I was completely shocked at the process. I went the very next day to that shelter, with the list of dogs that were to be killed that day. I asked to see 4 of them. I was told I could not see them because they were "in the back". They got the manager at that point, that took me behind those closed doors, and I was only allowed to see 2 due to the fear of spreading germs???? The volunteers helped me by putting one in an adjoining play yard, so I had 2 outside, and I saw the other 2 in the hall as we were passing thru. I adopted 4 dogs on the spot, one black bait dog, one pit bull, and two black mixed sisters. Those dogs walked out of that shelter that day. And that was the start of me adopting the animals. I have adopted and cared for and re-homed dogs ever since. Sometimes I have mamas and puppies. My passion is to get these adopted and then be able to work in another capacity to help in any way I can. My life has been forever changed. All these beating hearts are why we do what we do.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
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, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
