Rescue FAQs

We are based in Marietta Georgia but service both North Metro and South Metro.

WE DO NOT TAKE OWNER SURRENDERS OR STRAYS! All of our dogs are pulled from high kill shelters.

Additional adoption info

Our adoptable dogs range in age from 3 months to around 2 years old. With these pups being homeless sometimes it is hard to get an exact age.

All dogs will be current on vaccinations, be spayed / neutered, and receive basic training before adoption.

All interested adaptors must fill out our adoption form and set up an appointment to meet the pet of interest.

An adoption fee of $50-$200 (depending on vet bills and special needs cost) is applicable at time of adoption acceptance.
