My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Max

Max is a twelve year old beagle mix with lots of love to give. He has all the great traits of a beagle including being adaptable and versatile with a loving nature. Max is happy to go for a walk or sniff around the backyard. He enjoys naps and will seek out a sunny spot to relax. He eats well and will ask to go out when necessary. He gets along well with other dogs and cats. He loves to get a head scratch or back massage and likes to snuggle in the covers at night. If you are looking for a loyal companion, please consider Max.  He is approx. 35 pounds and ready for his forever home.  More info:

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
