Thank you for your interest in our animals. Adopting a dog or cat means a lot to the animal that would otherwise have nothing.

Matching Process

Each animal is different, having its own unique personality and needs. We do our best effort to match each animal with the right home. Sometimes, as wonderful a home as you may have, a particular animal may not be a good match for your situation. One, who is shy and afraid of noises, may not be a good match for a busy household. One, who is very social, will not be a good match for a busy professional spending most of their time at work.

We would prefer bonded kittens to be adopted in pairs or into a house with another pet to bond with. Here you can learn more why adopting two kittens is better than one for kittens and for their adopters.dxdeem necessary. The happiness and quality of life for our animals is our top priority.

Adoption Procedures

    • Step 1.Check available animals on our web site and select the one (or more) you would like to meet
    • Step 2. Fill out Adoption Application:
    • Step 3. We will review your application and if it seems to be a good fit for the animal(s) you are interested in, we will get in touch with you. Unfortunately, due to a high volume of applications for some animals, we may not always be able to respond to everyone.We interview all potential adopters to ensure the well-being of the animal. Home inspection may be required prior to finalizing an adoption.
    • Step 4. Please, make sure all family members are present at the meet and greet. If you have a dog, please have it meet our dog as well (not recommended for cats though). After the successful meet and greet you are welcome to adopt our pooch or kittie.

    • Step 5. Sign an adoption agreement, pay adoption fees and schedule pickup of the animal. Make sure you have all the supplies ready before taking your new companion home. For cats a carrier is required(!) at time of pickup.

      Adoption Fees

      A donation is required to help defray a portion of costs of medical services, food, transportation and supplies for our rescued animals. As we are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization and receive no government funding, we would be unable to rescue animals in need without your donation. All donations are tax deductible. 

      Additional donations are appreciated, as it will help us to rescue more animals in need.  We’re not getting any salaries for rescue activities, so all money goes directly to help animals. 

      Many companies will double your contribution, so please check with your employer whether they have a gift matching program.

      We reserve the right to increase or reduce adoption fees based on individual characteristics of selected animals (e.g. senior animals or animals with special needs)

      **The rescued dogs often times did not have a chance to develop obedience and proper behavior, as they were not exposed to formal training. It is highly recommended to attend basic dog training classes, it would benefit the new owner and their new dog relationship.
