*To have our OWN FACILITY where we will provide a sanctuary for senior dogs whose owners have abandoned them in shelters; on site services for rescued dogs and their new families; temporary haven for rescues while waiting for available space in our foster care program, classroom settings to provide presentations on compassion and kindness for animals

Adoption Policy

Adopting a rescued dog can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life!  These dogs seem to know they have been given a second chance to live long, happy lives with families who will cherish them forever.  Our volunteers work very hard to ensure our rescues are given that opportunity....to find their own forever families who will give them their own Happy Tail!


Don't buy puppies at pet stores while shelter animals die.  They want to give love and be loved too.  Spay & Neutering DOES save lives.


And check out our cats and kittens and other small animals who are waiting for forever homes too!
