Rescue FAQs

We rescue dogs and foster them in our home. We offer our foster dogs and our adopters a personal experience. I consider dogs ready for adoption when they are not only healthy, fixed, vaccinated, and micro-chipped, but also, comfortable, happy, house trained and ready to transition happily to a new home.
Our dogs are all local dogs surrendered by their owners
Western and Central Oregon and Southwest Washington

Adoption steps

  1. Submit Application
    My application is very thorough and detailed, asking questions about socialization, examples of discipline, etc.
  2. Approve Application
    I read that application and approve it or ask any questions I have.
  3. Interview
    Speak to the adopter(s) about the pet and their application.
  4. Meet the Pet
    Depending on the number of pets & family members,& if a home check is warranted, meets happen at my home or the potential adopter's home.
  5. Sign Adoption Contract
  6. Pay Fee
  7. Take the Pet Home
    I like to schedule a time when the adopters will be off work or otherwise at home for the first days of adoption.

Additional adoption info

I rehabilitate, train, and foster dogs for whatever length of time I believe makes them most ready for a successful forever adoption. I check in with adopters the day after adoption, and then again several days later. I am in contact with the majority of my adopters forever.
