Our Mission
Our mission is to help death-row, abused, and neglected dogs find forever homes. We do not discriminate by breed, age or special needs. As long as we’re capable of helping out, we will never say no!

- If you are renting, your landlord must give the approval to fostering or adopting, NO EXCEPTIONS.

questions.

- Allow us a few days to review and get back to you with a basic interview.
- Arranging a meet and greet with the dog of interest and yourself.
- If all goes well during meet and greet and you would like to move forward we will contact you for a home check. If you are already an “approved home” you will get to take the dog or puppy home if you decide at the meet and greet he/she is a good fit. (Please contact if you would like to become an approved adopter.)
- If your home check passes we require our potential homes to do a mandatory1 week adoption trial to ensure a good fit.
