My story

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

Hi there.... I'm Roxanne. I'm just a tiny gal with a big personality. My life wasn't too great not that long ago. I was living in a van with 34 other dogs... can you imagine?! Foster mom says I'm doing pretty good with this housebreaking thing. I'll tell ya, I don't like going out when it's raining or when it's too cold. I have a fenced in yard right now and I do pretty well on a leash. Mom says the yard has to be very secure... she didn't let me go out without a leash on for a couple week because she was afraid I'd find a way to get out. She's very cautious when it comes to things like that.

I'm pretty good with the other dogs although I can try to be dominate. Mom always tells me I'm gonna get my butt whooped if I mess with the wrong dog with my attitude. I'm doing a lot better now. I always have food, so no more fighting for some. I get treats too!! I'm not very fond of being crated, but I don't really do anything so mom doesn't make me stay in one. I sleep on a blanket next to the bed, but now and then I sneak up with mom when she falls asleep.... she doesn't care.

I'm still getting used to this whole touching thing. It took me awhile to let my foster mom touch me, but she gave me time and now I love belly rubs. Still not a fan of being picked up. If I want your attention, I'll let you know.

So anyway, I'm up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea treated, dewormed and I'm getting spayed soon (11/14).

All current pets MUST be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason.

Please Note: We are making changes to our Foster to Adopt process. Limited resources to follow up on pending adoptions and delays in processing payments is adding to our financial restrictions. Going forward we will collect payment when the dog is transferred to the potential new owner and will be held for an agreed upon trial time. Exceptions or extended trial times will be considered on a case by case basis and will depend upon the need or situation.

Additional adoption info

We work hard to ensure the adoption process is as successful as possible, both for you and the animal you're considering adopting. We will work with you find the very best pet for you and your family. You can begin the process by looking at our available animals. We will try and give you as much basic information as possible. The next step is to complete an adoption application using our online form. This will allow us to determine if you and the animal you've chosen might be a good fit. We will contact you with any questions we might have, answer any questions or concerns, and schedule a time for you to meet the animal you're interested in. 
​Our adoption fees depend on a number of factors but typically range from $45 to $75 for cats and $125 to $300 for dogs. While adoption fees don’t come close to covering all the costs of caring for the animals we bring into rescue, it does make it easier for us to continue saving others. And really, it's impossible to put a price on the love and companionship a pet can bring to our lives.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All our adoptable animals are in foster homes. For this reason, we require that all potential adopters complete an adoption application prior to meeting an animal. We want to find the very best fit, both for the animal and for the adopter!
