Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’re here to help.

Why do you all charge an adoption fee?

Great question! The adoption fee isn’t about placing a value on a rescued animal. Rather, the fee helps us cover essential costs associated with each animal’s care. Your fee directly supports the well-being of our animals and allows us to rescue and care for more in need.

What is included in the adoption fee?

Adoption fees include the dog being up to date on age appropriate vaccines, spayed/neutered, microchipped, an offer for a week of free virtual training, and an offer of 30 days free of pet insurance.

Can you hold a dog for me?

Unfortunately, we cannot hold dogs. We operate on a first come, first serve basis. If you are interested in a dog, fill out the application right away. If we are having an adoption event, we recommend arriving early.

When should I expect to hear back after I apply?

We receive a high number of emails daily and do our best to respond to them as quickly as we can. Our adoption team will be in touch as soon as possible. Typically within 1-3 business days.

Where do the dogs in the rescue come from?

Our mission is to save animals from a life of abuse, neglect and death in kill shelters and commercial breeding facilities, and find homes for them with loving humans that will add value to their lives.

Do you know the history of each animal?

Unfortunately, many dogs that we save entered the shelter as strays or were surrendered by their owners with little or no information. We do our best to include any information about their history in their profile if it is known.

Do you offer transport services?

We currently do not provide pet transport services. We require the adopter to arrange for in-state pickup at our facility or at one of our adoption events.

What if the adoption doesn’t work out?

We do everything we can to set both you and your new pet up for success. If you run into any challenges, please reach out to our team—we’re here to help! Whether it’s training tips, behavioral support, or guidance on adjusting, we want to work with you to make the transition as smooth as possible.

That said, we understand that sometimes, despite best efforts, things don’t work out. As a last resort, we will take back animals to ensure they are placed in the best possible home. Please contact us first so we can discuss next steps and explore any solutions before making that decision.

Do you offer post-adoption support?

Yes! We want to ensure you and your pet have the best start together. Inside your adoption bag, you’ll find details on:
