We are the classic “Mom and Pop” operation. We are a retired couple who, after 10 years of raising Guide Dogs for the visually impaired have decided to rescue small dogs instead. Ten years of bringing in 8 wk. old puppies and raising them to 16-18 month old magnificent, intelligent, ready to please and ready to work adolescent dogs finally became too much of a heartbreak and we’ve decided to do something on a smaller, more personal scale. We love dogs and we love to see them enhance a life.
Our goals are two-fold. First we want to save shelter dogs and secondly we want your life to be improved by matching a wonderful dog to a safe, loving and caring family. We only take in one dog at a time, because they live in our home, as family. Well, sometimes we have two!! .
Nowadays we visit “high-kill” shelters and rescue small dogs, almost always less than 20 pounds. We are the alternative to the shelter’s “blue juice”. Occasionally, we will have dogs that have been relinquished by their owners for various reasons.
The rescued dog is given its basic shots, rabies vaccine, flea and tick treatment, worming medication, micro chipped, vet checked, and is sterilized. We keep the dog in our home for some TLC and evaluation in regard to its temperament, socialization, and best possible fit for a prospective adopter.
The dogs you visit on our web site have lived in our home as members of our family. They eat, sleep and ride in the car with us, just as our own dogs do. Even though we don’t have a history on the dog’s past or know how it got to the shelter, we do have a sense of its character and needs.
