You are  welcome to fill out an application for a dog you have knowledge of but is not posted on this website. All applications must have a specific dog in mind for us to begin the adoption process. I'm sorry we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference. We also depend on you to let us know if you are interested in a dog you see.

Amoura

Amoura is a 10 year old Poodle. She weighs 10.8 pounds and she is long legged and thin. Amoura was rescued from a shelter and then surrendered to us for aggression. She was scared and definitely head shy. She has clearly been abused. I have been working with her by petting her around the head, neck and ears a lot. She now accepts pets from even strangers. I would not trust her around small children yet, but she will make a nice pet . She is nervous around excitable or large dogs. She is definitely tenderhearted and sensitive, but responds well given a lot of love. Her adoption fee is $200. She is spayed, UTD, chipped and has had a dental.

Honeybun requires access to a fenced backyard or she will cry and scratch at the door. She needs someone who is home more often than not with LOTS of patience, love, compassion, and understanding. Honeybun thrives most when she’s getting one on one attention making her a perfect candidate to be a solo dog. If she gets adopted to a family with other dogs they will need to be submissive as Honeybun likes to be the queen bee! People with cats need not apply.  She is very needy but gives back so much love and affection with kisses and snuggles. She came to us with severe anxiety but now has a daily medication that calms her anxiety while keeping all her personality packed with a punch!

To prospective adopters;

​It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs too. 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.
