Adopt a Rescue Dog

Our primary commitment is to the animals in our rescue, ensuring they find the best possible home. As their voice, our goal is to advocate for and place each animal in a loving and suitable environment. The adoption donation is $450 for puppies and adults. The fee for seniors is determined based on specific circumstances. Our foster families provide crucial information to help us match each animal with the most compatible family.

Adoption Process Overview:

Our adoption process is a mindful profess aimed at ensuring the best match between our rescue dogs and their forever homes:

  1. Application Review & Phone Interview:

    • Upon receiving your Adoption Application, our volunteers will give you a call to conduct a phone interview to discuss your application and address any queries.

  2. Personal and Veterinary Reference Check & Home Visit:

    • We check your references and, if approved, schedule a home visit to meet your family, including all members and pets.

  3. Approval Notification:

    • You'll be promptly notified if your home is approved.

  4. Meeting Your Match:

    • Once approved, connect with the foster family of the chosen animal to discuss specifics and arrange a meeting.

  5. Final Approval & Adoption:

    • Following a successful meeting, our Board of Directors provides final approval. You'll then receive the adoption contract, and upon signing, the foster family will facilitate the final meeting to deliver your new family member.

Volunteers contributing 1-3 shifts at fundraising concessions may save up to $150 per adoption.
