Schedule A Meet And Adopt!

Our adult dogs would love to meet your family and current dogs! These are scheduled private meetings with the adopters and the dogs!

**Young puppies/kittens are not fully vaccinated. In this case, they are not eligible for meets. These puppies/kittens are available for reservation for pickup for adoption ONLY. They cannot and will not be exposed to multiple families and environments that could potentially cause illness.

Required Adoption Donations

Our animals have set base adoption costs (donations). These donations help to offset the cost of their care and medical needs for the animals. **All listed donation amounts subject to change based on the specific animal**

Adoption Q&A

Who can Adopt?

Anyone over the age of 18 can apply to adopt a dog or cat from us. We do not place age minimums and view each application on a case by case basis. 

Do I have to have a physical fence?

No, unless the dog's profile specifically states that they need a physically fenced yard, we do not require them. We do however expect our adopters to have a plan to exercise and toilet their pets safely.

How quickly should I expect to hear back?

We are volunteer run and we do our best to contact adopters quickly! We pride ourselves on picking the perfect fit for each pet and adopter. If you have not heard back within 1 calendar week of applying to adopt, we likely have decided to pursue another application for the pet. 

Will you contact my references and veternarian?

We absolutly will contact your references and veternarian office! Please call your vet to permit them to share information with a rescue organization! This will help to expedite the process. It is a good idea to let your listed references know they will recieve communications from us also (likely text messaging).
