Rescue FAQs

We are a small 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue that is foster based that focuses on saving one life at a time.

We rescue dogs and cats off the streets, owners surrenders, or from kill shelters.
Seattle and surrounding areas. We will adopt out in nearby states provided the adopter will pick up in WA. We can also fly to Canada, CO, and WI.

Adoption steps

  1. Submit Application
    Once we receive the application, we check references.
  2. Interview
    Since we are in Texas we conduct a phone interview.
  3. Approve Application
    Once application is approved and everyone feels this is a perfect fit then we proceed with paying adoption fees so transport can be arranged

Additional adoption info

Our adopters sign an adoption contract. Adoption Fee: $400- $600 depending on age and breed. If flying there is an estimated $100 crate fee depending on size of crate. This covers all of the medical costs, microchipping, health certificate for the transport, and ground transport costs to the PNW. We also do air transport for puppies during ideal weather conditions. Puppies under 12 weeks are required to spay or neutered at the adopter's expense within 4-6 months of age and adopter is required to show proof. It is highly recommended puppies and adopter attend puppy classes and continue their education with adult obence at 6 months of age. Adopters are asked to contact the rescue if any concerns or advice and keep in contact through email or text messages. If the adoption doesn't workout we ask the adopter to foster until a new adopter is found.

We have a rescue contact in Tacoma if any problems arise and to do home checks.

Each dog or puppy will also come with a with a folder with all his medical records and receipts, microchip information, and many handouts helping a new adopter
be successful.
