Support Our Mission and Save a Life
As a 501c3 nonprofit, no-kill shelter, we rely on the generosity of our community to provide essential food, shelter, and medical care to the ~200 animals we rescue every year. Your contribution directly funds their second chance.
Our Adoption Process: Making
the Perfect Match

Our #1 concern is finding the right home for every pet. Our process is designed to ensure a successful, lifelong match for both you and your new companion. It involves an application, reference checks, and an interview to get to know you. In return, we provide you with a new best friend who is vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and behavior-assessed, plus a voucher for a free vet exam to get you started.

To begin, applicants must be 21 or older and provide personal references, a vet reference, and landlord approval if renting. For the safety and well-being of our dogs, we do not allow walk-throughs. Instead, we schedule dedicated meet-and-greet appointments for approved adopters to ensure a calm, positive introduction. We are committed to setting you up for success and even offer a free consultation class with our K9 behaviorist.
