Learn about how to adopt a dog...
|
Look at a listing
of current available dogs (on
our homepage).
If you do not see a dog you are interested
in, but
still wish to adopt a dog from this rescue,
with all included benefits, consider waiting
until
a dog your are interested arrives or use
the Match-a-Pet
program.
We do stress that waiting a couple
of months
for a pet that may be with you for 10+
years is a wise investment in time.
If you would not like to wait or make use
of the Match-a-Pet program, please consider
a dog from our Community
Dogs page where dogs are posted from
other shelters, rescues, and private individuals. |
