Rescue FAQs

We are a small group of local rescuers that save animals from euthanasia in shelters that are trying to become a no kill facility. We feel that by supporting the shelters that want to do the right thing, we are encouraging them to help save as many as they can!

Additional adoption info

All adopters must first complete the adoption application IN FULL. Please DO NOT leave any fields blank. If they do no apply to you, enter N/A in that space. We WILL confirm ALL information in your application and any false information given will result in an automatic denial of adoption. If approved, we will set up a home visit and if that goes well you'll be given an opportunity to adopt them pet. Please contact your vet and your landlord if you have them and let them know they will be hearing from us. This greatly speeds up the adoption process for you! Application for adoption can be found at this link: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/T733uinf5fhglob
