It's called "America Dealing Dog", scheduled showings throughout March!!.....If you have the access to watch, bring tissues, and remember that we made a difference to nearly 4 DOZEN of those poor dogs.

| We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here. |
The procedure for adoption is as follows: First we require that you call or email for an interview. Your interview will be taken into consideration and you will receive word within 12-24 business-day hours.
If you are approved, we will arrange for a homevisit, this may or may not be done by a volunteer of a different organization.
Finally (if approved of course~) you are welcomed out to visit with the dog/puppy you are interested in.
At that time you will be given "brief" on certain behaviors noticed while in our care and what the dog knows or doesn't know, also a run down of the health record and when he or she will need to next visit the vet. We have an adoption agreement (which can also be view by contacting us) and adoption fee.
Fees are based on the care/cost of a specific dog. Most adoption fees are between $100 and $300, again, depending on the age and the medical care cost of a particular dog....
Typically Dogs are $150, and Females are $200. If their an adoption fee listed on their bio that is different from this "general rule", it's because the cost was more or less than the norm.

Although the dogs here, are in need of good homes, this is also OUR HOME, so appointments are required. Thank you, and hope to see you soon!!
