PROCESS OF ADOPTION:
After we have had time to review your application and check references, we will be back in touch with you. This is a totally volunteer organization; therefore please allow at least 48 hours for us to get back with you. If at that time you have NOT gotten a reply, please e-mail us as your application may not have arrived. (ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT.)
After your submitted application has been processed, references checked and approved, a HOME VISIT will be scheduled after which time arrangements will then be discussed regarding meeting your potential new family member.
Adoption fees range from $150-$275, based on the age/adoptability of each specific dog. HOWEVER, please inquire about our SENIOR SANCTUARY PROGRAM if you are open to adopting a dog in double digit years. We believe these SPECIAL individuals and families deserve even more consideration/support and we make every effort to make these adoptions a WIN WIN for both our DOG and POTENTIAL FAMILY.

HANK is an outgoing 5 year old little male mahogany sable and white sheltie who came into rescue with his fursister Hildie when their elderly owner was no longer able to live at home and his relatives didn't care to take care of them. They are amazing little dogs, not only starved for food at the present but also starved for affection. HANK is very outgoing and not at all timid. Unfortunately, he was tested a light HW positive at his Vet appt and had to be treated; however, he done well and is now ready to be adopted too. How sad and unnecessary if owners would just use monthly preventatives, sigh.
