Our Mission
Our Mission
It is our wish that no animal endures the pain and suffering of a life of abandonment and neglect. It is our mission to rescue the mistreated, save the injured and love the abandoned. We strive to build a community that promotes compassion and seeks to strengthen the human-animal bond. Using education, proper vetting, science-based training methods and quality nutrition our goal is to adopt rescued dogs to a well matched forever family.
Adoption Policy
Adoption Process
Step 1: Browse Our Adoptable Animals
Take your time reading each dog’s profile carefully to see who may be the best fit for your home, lifestyle, and experience.
Step 2: Submit an Application
Complete our online adoption application as thoroughly as possible. The more detail you provide, the better we can make thoughtful and appropriate matches.
Step 3: Application Review
A team member will review your application and reach out via your preffered method to arrange a phone interview to learn more about your home and answer questions.
Step 4: Meet & Greet
If your application is approved, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet. This is a chance to spend time with the animal and ask questions. Afterward, everyone goes home to “sleep on it” before making a decision.
Step 5: Home Check
A home check is required for every adoption. This ensures your space is safe and ready for your new pet.
Step 6: Reference Calls
We will complete reference checks before moving forward to the next step in the process.
Step 7: Trial Period (Optional)
Families with resident pets or children may request a one-week trial adoption. A $200 deposit is required and will be applied to the adoption fee if the trial is successful.
Step 7: Finalization
When everyone agrees it’s the perfect match, we’ll finalize the adoption contract. That’s when your new family member officially comes home!
