Our rescue is a foster-based, all breed rescue, which takes in unwanted dogs in need of forever homes. We even take in mixed breeds. We do not have a kennel and all our dogs are placed in loving foster homes until we can locate their forever homes. Some of the dogs have been abandoned, others are surrendered by individuals who can no longer care for them, and yet others have been removed from neglected, hoarding or abusive environments. Our rescue organization is staffed solely by volunteers - Board of Directors, Foster Care Providers and others performing a variety of tasks to keep the rescue running smoothly. All dogs are temperament tested before being accepted into the program. We make sure they are fully vetted upon arrival. All our dogs are spayed and neutered before going to their forever homes. Puppies are adopted on a spay/neuter contract and must be spayed and neutered by 6 months of age. While in one of our foster homes, the dog is taught doggy manners, house training is worked on, crate trained when necessary, leash trained, taught to play and be loved as part of the family. Sometimes this is the first time these dogs have seen the inside of a house or felt the gentle touch of a human hand.
