All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, and have their teeth cleaned if needed.
All applications must have a specific dog in mind for us to begin the adoption process. I'm sorry but we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference, and we are not set up to recall individuals with requests for a dog based on descriptions of what they are looking for.

Daisy
This dog has a pending adoption
Daisy is a sweet 16-pound, 2 1/2 year old Maltese, possibly with a little Shih Tzu in her mix. She has adorable apricot-colored ears and tail that give her a unique charm. Right now, Daisy is on a journey to regain her health, as she needs to lose about 40% of her current weight to reach her ideal size of 10 pounds. We're looking for a foster or adopter who can lovingly guide her through this weight-loss journey with proper exercise and a healthy diet.
Daisy has also experienced some emotional trauma in her past, likely due to mistreatment. She was surrendered because she would panic and have accidents when picked up. She sometimes yelps when touched in certain areas, but we've found this to be more emotional than physical, as she doesn’t react the same way during calmer moments. Slowly but surely, Daisy is learning to trust again. With patience, praise, and gentle encouragement, she’s making wonderful progress and can now be picked up without peeing in calmer moments.
Daisy is eager to bond and would thrive with someone who is home often to provide her the consistent care and attention she needs. Daily walks and playtime are essential to help her shed the pounds and build her confidence. She would also benefit greatly from having a young, confident canine friend to show her the ropes and keep her active.
Because Daisy is easily startled by quick movements, we ask that families with small children not apply, as this could set back her progress. She is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and supported.
Daisy is in great health otherwise—her teeth are in excellent shape, and she is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $300.
If you’re ready to help Daisy on her journey to a happier, healthier life and show her what it means to be truly loved, please apply.
Fritz
Meet Fritz! This sweet 8-year-old Beagle mix may have a few special needs, but he’s still full of love and ready to be your loyal companion. Fritz is deaf, has cloudy eyes, and is living with elevated kidney levels and arthritis in his hips and back legs. Despite these challenges, he gets around just fine and would love to follow you everywhere as your devoted shadow.
Fritz enjoys being outside, and every now and then, he gets a burst of energy and trots around with joy. He’s comfortable navigating stairs, uses a pet door, and goes potty outside. While he does sleep a lot, he still has plenty of love to give, especially when it comes to neck scratches!
Currently on a special kidney diet and pain medication for arthritis, Fritz is a calm and easy-going 36-pound pup who just needs a soft landing for his golden years. Sadly, he was abandoned during the holidays, but he’s ready to give his heart to a family that will cherish him for the rest of his days.
Please consider making Fritz a part of your family. We’re asking for a $150 adoption fee to help with his care.

To prospective adopters:
It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs to. We see all the horrible treatment of animals every day. We literally rescue dogs from the poor or abusive treatment of humans. In my personal opinion, society has evolved to where owning a dog is a right and privilege. Most people consider only what they want and not what is right for the dog. That is why once a dog is in our hands, and consequently in our hearts, we make sure that anyone who adopts an animal from us has a good life to offer the dog. It is not an easy task. Everyone wants a dog. We try to screen people first before getting too involved with helping them find a dog, or we would be simply selling dogs. We are also a strictly a volunteer organization. Most of us work at least part-time jobs. Our time to the rescue is valuable and limited. We believe that anyone who is sincerely a wonderful potential adopter will endure the process.
