A volunteer will bring the dog to your home to preform a check the house and yard for safety.
If there is anywhere the dog can escape, we cannot complete the adoption.
We do the home visit to also ensure all pets in the home get along.
You can foster, adopt or donate...
We are always in need of foster homes. If you would like to lend a hand to a homeless paw by fostering, please fill out the Foster Home Application.

Sadly, approximately four million pets are euthanized each year in the US simply because too many people give up their pets and too few people adopt. By adopting you will help save the lives of TWO animals- the pet you adopted and the homeless animal who can be saved because of the space you helped free up.
Four million cats and dogs, about one every eight seconds, are put down in US shelters each year. Often these animals are offspring of cherished family pets. Spay/neuter is a proven way to reduce pet overpopulation, ensuring that every pet has a family to love them.
Many cats and dogs who die as a result of pet overpopulation could have made wonderful pets. Between six and eight million dogs and cats enter US shelters every year; far too many to all find homes. (www.hsus.org)
A solution is possible and starts with each of us taking one small step in spaying/neutering our own pets. To further help with the pet overpopulation, consider adopting your next pet.
