When animals arrive in rescue, they are typically tired, filthy and without a notion of love. Most are underweight and unhealthy. It's amazing to see them forgive us for what others have done to them. They embrace their foster parents and begin their journey to new and happy lives.
We don’t need rewards for what we do, you see life’s greatest rewards come from watching a rescue dog play with a ball for the first time…or enjoy the warm hearth in front of the fireplace…or when they first understand that food does indeed come every day. When a child reaches out to love that rescue dog - it melts your heart.
To see these dogs come from such horrible circumstances and rise above their past, is truly inspiring. They forgive and forget as they play with their new toys after a nice walk around the block. The things we humans can learn from our dogs sometimes leaves us aw struck.
So when you meet us, please excuse us if we have dog hair on our coats, or paw prints on our jeans. Understand that after getting ready to meet you, a dog needed a little extra love before we left. Maybe that last round of fetch left us with a wind blown look. It is not intended to be disrespectful…its just the best spent time of the day is playing with a dog that wants to be loved.
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by moments
that take our breath away."
Every dog I meet that needs help, takes my breath away. Join us and let a rescue animal take your breath away. Your heart will have all the rewards.

A woman in rescue wrote this note to her adopters after several rough adoptions. She makes some very valid points that we'd
like to share with you.
Note to adopters: Lassie and Cleo and Rin Tin Tin and Toto don't show up in rescue. We don't get the elegantly coiffed,
classically beautiful, completely trained, perfectly behaved dog. We get the leftovers. Dogs that other people have
incompetently bred, inadequately socialized, ineffectively "trained," and badly treated. Most Rescue dogs have had it.
They've been pushed from one lousy situation to another. They've never had proper veterinary care, kind and consistent
training, or sufficient company. They've lived outside, in a crate, or in the basement. They're scared, depressed and
anxious. Some are angry. Some are sick. Some have given up.
But we are Rescue and we don't give up. We never give up on a dog. We know that a dog is a living being, with a spirit and a
heart and feelings. Our dogs are not commodities, things, or garbage. They are part of sacred creation and they deserve as
much love and care and respect as the next Westminster champion. So please, please don't come to rescue in the hopes of
getting a "bargain," or indeed of "getting" anything. Come to Rescue to give, to love, to save a life -- and to mend your own
spirit. For Rescue will reward you in ways you never thought possible. I can promise you this -- a rescue dog will make you a better person.

Adopting a Friend
Our process includes the completion of an application, reference checks and home visit. Please email us for an application. Upon receipt of the application, we will contact your vet, landlord (if renting) and complete a background check. We will then complete a home visit.
We are a 100% volunteer organization. Most volunteers have full time jobs and families. We are dedicated to helping each and every animal find the right match. Please understand and be patient during the process.
Thank you.
Set up a time to meet your new pet!
We are linked through a group of foster homes and do not have a shelter facility. Please contact us via email to schedule a visit.
