Adoption Process

I speak with people over the phone to get an idea of what they are looking for in a companion pet. I ask that they fill out an adoption application so I can try to make the best match possible; otherwise I am wasting your time, the pet's time, as well as my own. We do a vet reference check and home visit. I am available seven days a week for my rescues. PLEASE NOTE: We do not do adoption events to include Petsmart or Petco - you must come to the foster home to meet them so you can see what the dog will be like in your home after the adjustment period. The adoption fee is between $200 and $300 for adults and $350 for puppies. We do discount senior dogs. The adoption fee covers the cost for spay/neuter, vaccinations, heart worm testing, worming, heart worm and flea preventive, micro-chipping, grooming, and placement in the foster home while the pet is homeless. Once a selection has been made, you will be required to fill out an adoption contract. The first one to two weeks is often the most challenging and there are always a few issues to iron out. So if the pet does not work out within the 2 week period, your adoption fee will be refunded. However, I will always take him/her back. I do NOT want to see an animal taken to the pound, the humane society, or worse, dumped! If you are interested in meeting any of our available Dogs, please fill out our adoption application
