Please read through our policies, procedures, foster to adopt and adoption contracts all provided here for your review prior to applying with the rescue. It is up to you to do your due diligence on researching the rescue as it’s ours to do so with adopters.

We have a strict policy regarding force & fear free training requirements, the banning of prong, choke and electric collars, invisible fencing and dog parks. We are searching for family’s who hold the same philosophies on care and training of dogs as we do.

Remember we loved them first and our promise is to the dog to provide them with a home far better then what was provided in their past. If you are looking for a quick adoption, we are not the rescue for you. All of our dogs are adopted through a Foster to Adopt program. If you are looking for well cared for, balanced dog who is ready to begin anew as a companion to your family, then please continue.

All dogs under a year must attend training as part of the adoption; adult dogs who haven’t had training in their past or who have behavior issues will be required to attend training with the adoptive family at your cost.

Training is an investment in you and your dogs lifetime relationship. Training is important to establishing a bond with the new family and giving you a better understanding your relationship, it’s not about obedience, or being a “pack leader“. We have a listing of approved & vetted trainers, behavior consultants recommended due to their skill set and understanding of dog behavior acquired during their certification process. All dog trainers are not the same and a behavior consultant is not a dog trainer. You save time, frustration and money when hiring the right person for the job.

“Incapable of deceit, unable to understand the future, the dog lives in the now and expects that we will meet him there.” ~Suzanne Clothier
