The name of our Independent Rescue group is called DogTag: You're It! We are dedicated and devoted rescuers of the mistreated, relinquished, and neglected animals that wander into our lives. From the streets, to the sheltered, those abandoned, and those turned over unwanted--our mission is to prove to the innocent and defenseless creatures we rescue, that they will not only be wanted and loved from this moment forward, but that they only have bright and hopeful futures to look forward to as beloved members of the DogTag: You're It! family and ultimately their new family in a forever home.
We work hard to make sure each and every one of our rescue pups is healthy and treated medically before placing them in any foster or forever home. Each and every one of our rescues receive medical care immediately upon rescue without a moment's hesitation. Included in vetting is a spay/neuter procedure, microchip, heartworm and fecal tests, Parvo test for puppies, complete vaccinations, and dental if age 2 years and up even younger if needed. They also get treated with monthly with flea/parasite preventative.
We also rescue senior and medical dogs, we provide all medical interventions requested by our veterinarians and consult or treatment by specialists. Our goal is to not rush their adoption, but to ensure that each one of our precious pups will only be in a home as a loved and cherished member of the DogTag: You're It family to their new forever home.

Additional adoption info
We require an adoption application to be filled out prior to arranging any home-meetings as we have to work with our fosters schedules as well as our own. Application review can take up to anywhere from 1-2 weeks depending on how busy we are. Applications MUST be submitted to us within 3 days of receiving to be considered. ONLY applicants we approve to proceed with adoption will be contacted. If you have not received a response after 2 weeks, please know your application had been reviewed and considered, but not chosen. Doggie doors are NOT permitted per our policy and we will ONLY proceed with adoption if it's removed completely.
Included in the application is a veterinarian reference check as well as work or personal reference check. We never adopt out on a first come, first serve basis because we consider this a lifelong commitment and we want to be certain that we are making the best decision for both the forever family and our rescue. No one knows our rescues better than we do and we want to be certain that we consider their individuality when choosing their home. At the time of the home screening we will observe the interaction of our rescue with each and every member of the household including the family pets.
When our rescue goes to his or her new home, he or she will be up to date with all medical, current on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed or neutered, treated with flea/parasite preventative, as well as supplied with a collar, leash, and harness. We also feed all of our rescues while they have been in foster homes, grain-free and high quality nutritious food such as Pulsar, Orijen, and Acana. It is mandated for all of our puppies to attend puppy obedience classes within two months of their adoption.
We take such special care of our pups and we want to be completely positive that we place them in a home perfect for that particular dog. We require an adoption application and a home screening to make sure our safety standards are met. The adoption donation fee of $150 for dogs and $100 for cats. The fee includes spay/neuter, full vaccination, fecal test, heartworm test, microchip,comprehensive blood panel, UA, dental cleaning, flea/parasite preventative in addition to FIV/FELV test for all of our felines.
The adoption donation fee will allow us to continue to help our other rescues, some of which are medical and senior dogs in permanent foster homes.
