Who We Are

Papillons and Playmates is a joint effort of West Coast and Midwest Rescuers who believe all Papillons (and occasionally other small breed dogs) deserve a second chance. Papillons and Playmates Rescue has evolved out of Papillon Rescue of Southern California and Midwest Papillon Rescue because we have room in our hearts and have made room in our foster homes for other small dogs who, through no fault of their own, are in need of forever homes. We are a not-for-profit organization that takes in needy Papillons, Pap mixes, and, whenever possible, some of their “playmates”. Our goal is to make the ideal match between dog and adopter by taking many things into consideration, but most importantly the needs of the dog. Some rescues will be good with children, some won’t. Some are active, while some are couch potatoes, and we are careful not to place a laid-back dog with a marathon runner. Many rescues have been neglected, if not outright abused, in the past and these dogs deserve homes with adopters who have the time to lavish them with the love they have never experienced. If that means a stay-at-home adopter, we find one for them. We take the time to evaluate each dog and we hope that potential adopters will take advantage of our experience in playing matchmaker so that our rescues do go to forever homes. All of our rescued Papillons and Playmates Rescue are spayed or neutered, examined by a vet, and treated for any medical conditions before they are placed.

Adopting a friend

All pets adopted thru Papillons and Playmates Rescue will be completely vetted and altered prior to placement. No exceptions. Our pets are fostered in our home so that we can properly evaluate what type of home is best for them. None of the pets available thru Papillons and Playmates Rescue will be shipped. All potential families must be willing to travel to adopt. All potential adopters should email papresq@charter.net to receive an adoption application. After a completed application has been received, you will be contacted for an interview. Papillons and Playmates Rescue requires references and all applicants will have a home visit performed prior to adoption.
