My story

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

Meet Dexter ! He is approx. 5-6 years old and a Chihuahua mix with what we think might be a Dachshund, he  weighs 12 lbs. He and Coco and Ethel (already adopted)  (in the photos too ), had a good home life living all together until their mom passed away.  None of them are related but all get a long great.  Coco & Dex ter can be adopted together but do not have to be. However they would love to have a friend at home to hang out with, it is not a must though. As far as we know they have never lived as an only fur baby. He is working on house breaking and is doing great with an occasional accident. He is crate trained with no accidents in the crate .  Never been seen around cats or kids. We do suggest a home with a dog savvy cat and kids over 10 year of age. He does have a front leg deformity that causes no pain and the vets think it has been there for life. 

This animal is current on all age appropriate vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and spayed/neutered or will go home with an already scheduled appointment. They have also been given flea prevention. Adoption fee is $350.00. If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an application.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step in Adopting one of our animals is to fill out an application on our website. Once approved to adopt we will set up a meet and greet, so any current household animals, family (kids) can all meet with the new foster animal. Our fees are based upon the age of the animal and the medical involved. Dog fees range from $200.00 - $400.00
We also have kittens and their fee is $120.00

We do require all adopters to sign a contract and sign our medical documentation sheet.

More about this rescue

AJ's Search and Rescue Is an animal rescue which was founding in Sept 2016. The rescue is named after our founders first "Foster Failure". Angela aka AJ, fostered over 140 dogs through a previous organization, which lead her to adopting (foster failing) her 125 foster dog (Serchee).

As time went on AJ decided it was time to start yet another business and this time it was a non-profit 501c3 animal rescue. All animals that come through our organization are in foster homes, which allows a new adopter to know more about the animals in many aspects.

Any and all donations and adoption fees go towards proper medical care and feeding all our animals.

We strive to get animals off the streets and into new homes so they can live a wonderful life.
