There are an estimated 7.5 MILLION animals in shelters waiting to find loving homes? Of these, more than half will be euthanized. Source: American Humane Association

VIEW OUR ADOPTABLE PETS!

We do not have a physical shelter, so all of our animals reside in foster homes thanks to several incredible families! Consider fostering a homeless pet!!!

Adoption Fees: $100 for dogs; $85 for cats. Fees include vet check, deworming, vaccinations, rabies, heartworm test for dogs, feline leukemia/AIDS test for cats, and spay/neuter. Note: In the rare case when a pet is too young to be spayed/neutered, state law requires a bond be levied. This bond is $50 and is 100% refundable upon proof that your new pet has been spayed/neutered. Spay/neuter is mandatory for all animals & will be closely monitored. Adoption fees may increase or decrease slightly when special circumstances exist. In these situations, the fee will be disclosed in the animal's description. Adoption Application and Agreement are required for all adoptions.

Adoption Screening Process: Our goal is to place our rescued animals in homes that best suit the animals' emotional & physical needs. These needs vary from animal to animal, so there are no "specific" requirements (i.e. fenced in yards, no young children, etc.). Prior to completing an application, we strongly encourage you to look beyond the cute face in the picture... please read the pet's bio carefully to ensure he/she sounds like a good match for your family. To respect the privacy of our foster homes & to ensure the safety of the pets in our care, visits with pets & their foster families are arranged only after an application has been given the seal of approval by our adoption coordinator. An Adoption Application must be completed & emailed back to us (preferred & most timely); faxed or snail mailed applications are also accepted but might take longer to process. Once your application is received, it will be forwarded to our adoption coordinator for review, and you might be contacted by phone or email to answer additional questions. Your veterinary & personal references will likely be contacted. And finally, a home visit will be scheduled, which entails a volunteer scheduling a time to come to your home to meet your family & see where your new pet would be spending his days & nights. We strive to complete this process & notify potential adopter's within 48 hours, but it could be less or more depending on workload & how long it takes to get in touch with references.

The Meaning of Rescue

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked into my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage, Least I forget,
There is so much to carry-So much to regret. Hmmmm...

Yes, there it is, right on the top,
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my bed, hide Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave-I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.

I love them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I was not good enough -
for they did not want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Or will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?

Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
And never repack?
I pray that you do -
I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?
