We take in, rehabilitate, and adopt out dogs on an individual basis. Limits are based on individual circumstances. We accept any breed, age, sex, and size. Temperment, likelihood of successful rehabilitation, and the combination and numbers of dogs we have are taken into account. We do not currently have 501C3 status. Our operation is currently small but will hopefully grow significantly in the not-too-distant future, to include boarding and rehabilitation services. Our dogs are fully-vetted, micro-chipped, and altered prior to adoption. A detailed adoption application is filled out, and a home-visit is completed. We try to stay in touch with each adopter, but that is not always possible. We enourage adopters to return dogs, at any time in the dog's life, if the dog needs to be re-homed and reinforce that tequest with a contract. We have expertise in dog psychology and consider the the temperment of the humans, along with the dogs. We support all efforts to end puppy mills, create mandatory spayneuter laws, and pass significantly stronger penalties for crimes of animal cruelty. We oppose BSL breed specific legislation and work to build cooperative partnerships in the rescue community.
