We network with other rescuers and provide web space so their dogs and cats might be seen by individuals looking for the right addition to their family.

All animals are spayed/neutered prior to placement, current on vaccines and micro chipped

Many of the available dogs and the infrequent cats are in foster homes and we need to arrange for the pet to be available for a visit outside of work/school hours. We do not hold public viewings or adoptions.

Once we have received your application and reviewed it, a telephone interview is conducted to help us decide if we have available a pet that is suitable for your situation. Many times we will have more than one pet available that are posibilities for you to consider. A home visit, may be part of the process. This is a visit by a rescue volunteer to check on the security of fences and windows; possible hazards, like poisionous plants; and other things that could pose a danger to the well-being of the adoptive pet.

If you are renting, we do require a written statement from your landlord giving permission for you to have a pet of the type you are looking at. Some landlords have a size limit on pets others will impose a limit on numbers and we want to know that their limits are being respected.

We do place all our pets on a contract that specifies that they will be returned if for any reason the adopter is not able to keep them and we will take them back no matter how long ago we placed them.

There is an adoption fee required which helps to defray the medical expenses as well as the cost of feeding and properly caring for the animals. The amount will vary from pet to pet but generally ranges between $150 and $400.

Some dogs may have a training requirement as part of their adoption, and we will help you find a trainer in your area if this is the case.

We encourage responsible pet ownership and want you to take the time you need to make the right choice of dog or cat to add to your family.
