Mike and Cyndi Bland;
We are both retired and do dog rescue and sanctuary work from our home. Most of our dogs are rescued but some are surrendered. The dogs are taken in for an initial health screening where they can be scanned for a chip and possibly reunited with their owners. If no chip or no connection with previous owners is made the dog is held for 90 days and posted as found on multiple websites and social media platforms. After 90 days the dog is put into our adoption program.
We also are a sanctuary for troubled dogs with behavioral issues. We work with the dogs to improve their quality of life and find their forever homes but if they are not adopted we keep them at the facility living in comfort.
We do this because we love dogs. We see so many euthanized at the government run shelters or abandoned on the roadside that we have to save as many as we can. Our current capacity is 35 dogs but we are working on expanding our facility in the near future.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
