Support Dog Adoption and Rescue. Why go to a dog breeder or pet store to buy a dog when you can adopt?

This site supports a small group of people who try to help as many puppies and dogs that have been displaced through no fault of their own. All of the dogs are checked by a vet, altered and updated on all vaccinations prior to going to a home.
We are all volunteers who do the best that we can with the limited funds and resources available to us. We give the potential adopter as much information as we can, including copies of all vet records but we normally do not know the history of the dogs, as they are strays at the pound. Very rarely do we have owner releases. All dogs in our program were minutes away from being put to sleep so the pound could make space for more strays.
This listing and it's administer is not responsible and/or liable for the outcome of any adoption made through these listings as we are only providing information. This listing and it's administer is also not responsible and is held harmless for the accuracy and reliability of the information provided within these listings. Owners, foster homes and adopters bear the full responsibility and liability for any dog listed.
The adoption fee for all dogs listed depends on the breed, age, vet care, cost to pull from the kill shelter, worming medicine, flea medicine, etc. The adoption fee
BARELY covers all of the previous mentioned expenses. Please do not ask for us to lower the fee.
Due to recent events we have found it difficult to introduce a dog into a home with children under the age of 4 years old. We are no longer adopting to homes with children 4 years or younger. The ONLY exception that will be made is that the child has in the last 6 months lived with a dog or is currently living with a dog.
All adopters must fill out an application. Please see listed below an application. You may copy this application into an email, fill it out completely, and send it back to me.
