We are a very small all-breed, all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We do not have a facility. All our dogs are in foster homes located around the twin cities. Our primary focus is on Pregnant dogs and puppies with or without their mom’s, but we do accept adult dogs if and when we have open foster homes.
You are not allowed to remove a dog from your home without written permission from the rescue. This is for a minimum of 2 years after adoption. If you do remove the dog, we will assess a $500 penalty fee for breach of contract. This is not a guarantee that we will be able to bring your dog back into rescue. Attending Formal training for 30 days is required to return any dog over 4 months old. Applications are only available via email from the rescue or by inquiring through Petfinder. We take applications in the order received. Please place names at the top of the application in order of preference. Once we get your application via email, we will process it. This takes up to 24 hours. After we process your application, you will receive either a Congratulations, a denial, or an email stating you have been placed on a waiting list. Please remember that if at the meet we find you are not suitable to adopt, we will not allow you to take the dog home. A meet is not a guarantee to adopt. If you did not hear back from us, we may not have gotten your application. We respond to all received apps. We require meets to be scheduled within 48 hours of your congrats email. We will only bring the dog you have been approved for to the meet. We may, by request, bring a second one if there is not an approved application for that dog AND if they are in the same foster home. If a dog says pending after its name it means it has a meet scheduled. If you apply you will be placed on a waiting list. Some of our dogs may not be in the rescue yet. If you are pre-approved to adopt one, a non-refundable deposit may be required. If you are pre-approved to adopt a puppy that is too young to go home yet (under 8 weeks old), we will require a non-refundable deposit, equal to the fee, to be paid within 12 hours of your Congrats email. We do accept out of State applications. If you live more than 3 hours away, you will be required to pay the adoption fee in full within 4 hours of your congrats email. This is only refundable if you meet within 48 hours AND you choose not to adopt. Please be aware that we do not ship dogs. WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. THEY MUST GO HOME AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION. Sorry, we do not make exceptions to this so please apply when you are ready to bring the dog home. Please try to schedule your meet for a time all decision-making parties can be present. We are an all-volunteer rescue. We try to limit how many times our fosters may have to meet. If you choose to take time to think about it, they do stay up for adoption. Another potential adopter may have the chance to adopt right away. Thank you for understanding. Full payment of the fee is required at the time of adoption by cash or card. There is a $10 fee to process a card or use our PayPal invoice option. We do not accept payment plans.
