Rescue FAQs

We are a private, specialized, no-kill, 501(c)(3) dog rescue dedicated to providing housing & individualized care to dogs of all breeds.
We cater to their respective temperaments and adopt them into well-matched homes.
Please note that we do not accept dogs from the public (unless they were adopted directly from our rescue) as we pull dogs from larger shelter partners.
