We are a small group of people who simply care about dogs. We have been active for many years in rescue. Some of the members of our rescue team teach obedience, dog problem solving (behavior modification.), and are involved in showing in AKC confirmation. We take in just a few dogs at a time to help and give them personal time, attention, training, and evaluation. We rescue dogs who really have no where else to go, such as from local high kill rural pounds and occasionally adults from puppy mills. The foster dog then lives IN OUR HOME (not in a kennel !) as one of our own canine family members, by doing this best prepares the dog for living in YOUR home, as YOUR family member. We have a very strong sense of responsiblity to the dog for the rest of his/her life and will always remain available to our adoptive homes as a resource for advice on training, behavior problems, nutrition, medical issues, etc. We teach our fosters basic obedience training, housetraining, walk on leash, sit, down, come, stay. Of course all our foster dogs are first vet checked and healthy. They are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, clear of heartworms or any stool parasites, and on routine preventative medication.
