Adoption Process

As part of the application process you will be required to upload pictures from your computer. Then you will fill out an application.  If it looks good and your references are great, you may be approved to adopt.  If you wish to adopt a particular dog we will notify you if the dog you wish to adopt is available and we feel you and the dog would make a good match.  If the dog is no longer available or is not a good match we will still keep your approved application on file and may contact you with other dogs.   

We do charge adoption fees.

Our adoption fees are based on the age, size, health and temperament of the dog and can range from $300 - $975. 

People ask us why we would charge $975 for a rescue pet?  Why not just place it in a good home?"  The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt.  A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in vet care,  and many people will want to adopt it.  An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-$1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it.   Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible.  Click the Forms button above to begin the adoption process.
