TO ADOPT FROM US
1) You must have a securely fenced yard, with closing gates, ATTACHED to your house.
2) You must walk your dog,ON LEASH,at least 30-60 minutes a day.
3) You must allow the dog to sleep IN THE HOUSE,(not the garage) Our dogs are all crate trained for this purpose.
4) You must furnish your own ID tag to place on the dog at the time of adoption. It must include address, phone number, cell number, etc.

We generally only adopt to areas around San Luis Obispo County. We feel very strongly that there are dogs in jeopardy in EVERY community. We encourage people to adopt from pounds and rescuers in your own community and therefore save a life that we cannot.
We are absolutely no-kill.

Foster dogs live in foster care until they are adopted. Almost all our dogs are rescued from high-kill animal shelters. Each is spayed/neutered, and vaccinated. All of our dogs are crate trained and sleep in the house at night. All are exercised daily. Usually for 45-60 minutes a day. Exercise is the key to a well behaved dog. A tired dog is a calm, easy to train dog. The dogs run together as a pack. Off leash. They are required to get along. No exceptions. Establishing yourself as the "pack leader" is essential to a well behaved dog. On leash, the dog must walk in a heel position, or behind you. If you are leading, you are the leader. If they are leading, they are the leader. Which do you want to be? There are no bad dogs. Only bad/misinformed dog owners. Unfortunately for the dogs, they pay for their previous owners mistakes/disinterest with their lives. A civilized society should not accept this as a "fact of life". Hopefully we will all see the day when animals are not bred for profit. Hopefully we will see the day when their lives are accepted as valuable, no matter what their breed or mix.
