Our Mission

We are committed to saving homeless companion animals, assisting other shelters/rescues through rescue transports, offering in-home training to keep dogs in their current homes, and educating the public on the issues of pet over-population, responsible pet ownership and puppy mills.

Adoption Policy

Step 1: Adoption Application

-Fill out an online adoption application. This is not a binding contract.
-If you have a specific animal in mind or would like help identifying a suitable match, the completion of the application starts this conversation.
-All applications go through a verification process before moving on to Step 2.
-Vet Record Verification: We check to ensure that current pets are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.
-Home Ownership/Landlord/HOA Verification: We check to ensure pets are allowed at this home and ask about any breed restrictions from the landlord, HOA or city.
-If there are any hiccups during the verification process, a volunteer will email you about the status of your application.
-If you haven’t heard from us within 48 hours of submission, please check your spam folder!
-Please understand that at times we receive multiple applications for the same dog. Our volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the best fit for each dog.

Step 2: Meet and Greet

-Once your application is verified, an adoption coordinator will be in touch as quickly as possible to discuss next steps.
-The adoption coordinator can answer any questions you have about the dog and our process, and they will connect you with the foster volunteer to set up a meet and greet.
-We require a meet and greet with all human and furry residents of the home to ensure we are finding the best fit for everyone.

Step 3: Home Visit

-A home visit is mandatory prior to any dog adoption.
-After a successful meet and greet, a home visit volunteer will schedule a time for a home check.
-Home visits are not meant to be intrusive. The goal of a visit is to see where our adoptees will live and give adopters a chance to know us better.
-The most important thing for us is to know that our animals are going to safe and caring homes and that all members of the family are prepared for a lifelong commitment to their new companion.

Step 4: Happy Tail!

-After a successful meet and greet and home visit, we schedule an adoption!
-All dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (adult dogs), and up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventatives.
-All cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested (adult cats), and up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations and monthly flea/tick preventatives.
