Who We Are

We are a no-kill rescue. We are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of puppies in need. We work together with two southern rescues. Our puppies all come from the efforts of these rescues and their wonderful dedicated foster homes that take care of these babies for so long before coming northeast. The majority of puppies in the south will be euthanized within days of being dropped off at a shelter. They are "pulled" and placed into quarantine for 4-6 weeks, at least, with a private foster family until they are fully vetted. Once this is completed they head north to new foster homes & furever homes!

All our puppies have had three sets of DHLPP with Corona, the last one given within 2-3 days of the transport, this should protect them (there is never a 100% guarantee) from Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvo, Parainfluenza and Coronavirus, but they need two more boosters within the next 6 weeks, they have had a Bordetella vaccine to protect from Kennel Cough, but this does not prevent all strains of kennel cough any more than our flu vaccine protects against every strain of the flu- these puppies may never have been in a shelter, but if they were, they have been out of it for over 4-6 weeks.

Please understand that puppies can often be very stressed from their transport and their change in living conditions, which can compromise their immune system and between the stress and the compromised immune system, it is very common for them to get Coccidia. This is an internal parasite that can only be treated, never cured (ALL dogs in the world have this, but it lies dormant until stress triggers the parasite to multiply- easily treated).

Another factor for puppies coming from the south to the north is climate change, again the stress from their transport and their change in living conditions, which can compromise their immune system, can lead to an Upper Respiratory Infection- again easily treated, but needs to be treated as soon as you notice a cough, sneeze, yucky eyes or a runny nose.

We do not have a shelter location. Our puppies are kept in private foster homes in Alabama for 4-6 weeks or longer as part of a family, to help prepare them for transition into their forever homes and also to have enough time to have them completely vetted, including, at least, three sets of vaccines for their health and safety. If you are interested in adopting one of our puppies, please contact us.
