Adopt

For the Dogs

We are a small dedicated group of people that simply love dogs. We do what we do every single day to save dogs from being killed at high-kill pounds, owner turn in's "just because" and for senior dogs that have no where else to go.

Rescue FAQs

We are more then happy to drive 2 hours from the Youngstown/Akron area. Farther adoptions can be done as well. We will do whatever it takes to find GREAT homes for our dogs.

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with the adoption application. We do have an online application that does not take long to fill out. We will review the applications and respond in a timely manner. When we recieve multiple applications on a dog we pick the one that we feel best suits the dog in question. Our fees are $99 for seniors, $150 for adults, and $195 for puppies under 8 months. All our dogs come spayed/neutered, rabies, heartworm tested, and up to date on their shots. We try very hard to answer all emails within 48 hours. If you have not heard from one of us PLEASE email us again. Sometimes we forget things and we would hate to miss out on a great home for one of our dogs.
