Additional adoption info
After the adoption applicant is approved and the meet and greet goes well, we require applicant to go through a 30-day adoption trial & pay a non-refundable fee, which is 50% of the adoption fee. This is to ensure that the dog is really a good fit into the applicant's lifestyle and home environment. If the applicant decides to adopt the dog at the end of the 30-day trial, they will be required to sign the Adoption Fee & pay the remainder of the adoption fee. If at any point during the 30-day trial the applicant decides they no longer want to adopt the dog, then the dog must be returned to his foster home and the deposit is nonrefundable.

We are a small all-volunteer 501c3 animal rescue organization. We help reduce the overpopulation of homeless pets by doing the following:
- We rescue dogs from shelters and owner surrenders
- We rehabilitate the dogs at foster homes to help them decompress from the stressful shelter environment. As part of the rehabilitation, while the dogs are in foster care, we also spay & neuter them, update their vaccinations, and perform any other necessary medical procedures. We also provide some supplies like food, crates, etc.
- Once we think the dog is ready for adoption, we start taking in applications and interviewing potential adopters.

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.
