We will conduct reference and vet checks on currently owned pets to ensure that your current pets are up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm preventative; or check on previous pets if you do not currently have a pet.
-
We schedule a meet and greet between you and the pet. Your current pets are welcomed and encouraged to come to the meet and greet. However keep in mind, that animals that may get along great, may not do so at the first meeting.

If it's a match, we finalize the Adoption Agreement, and arrange for the pet to join you in their forever home.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
HOW MUCH ARE THE ADOPTION FEES?
As a donation-based animal rescue, we do not receive any public funding. The adoption fee, which is a tax-deductible donation, ranges from $150 to $450. Each pet's bio includes the adoption fee.
This cost covers all medical expenses paid, plus food, monthly preventatives, and supplies needed for the pet while being taken care of at the rescue or in the foster home. All pets will be current on vaccines, heartworm preventative, flea/tick preventative, microchipped, and will be spayed/neutered before adoption. Some exclusions apply on a case-by-case basis, or in the event of adopting a puppy, of course.
​
We allow our puppies to go home after their second round of puppy shots and your adoption donation includes up to $100.00 reimbursement for the last round of shots and its spay/neuter surgery.
WHAT IS THE ADOPTION 3-3-3 RULE?
Imagine if you had to pack up your life, all of your life history - good and bad - and move in with complete strangers. Strangers that already had a family - maybe a loud family. How would you react?​
​
Animals aren't much different. They need time to decompress, get oriented, and build trust. Keeping the 3-3-3 Rule in mind when adopting a new pet will make the transition easier for everyone.
​
First 3 Days: Your new dog is trying to figure out their new home and family; they may be scared and withdrawn; eating and drinking little; and testing boundaries.
​
​After 3 Weeks: Feeling more comfortable, they have figured out they will live with you and start getting into a routine; you'll get glimpses of your dog's real personality, and you may start seeing some behavior issues. Hang in there!
​​
After 3 Months: Your dog has become a part of the family and is set in a routine; they feel secure; and the trust and bond you've worked so hard for will continue to deepen.
​
MOST IMPORTANT: Give your dog a little space and let them to go at their own pace. Don’t throw in the towel. Enjoy this time bonding and watching your new best friend blossom!
