"Very Thorough Process..."

I absolutely love this organization. I adopted a puppy from them two months ago. The process was very thorough in making sure they understand your lifestyle and can match you with the perfect pet for your family. I love that they are a foster to adopt rescue, which means they know their dogs well….Rudy, formerly Grumpy, brings so much joy to my life, and I am grateful to have him.

Who We Are

About Us

We are a group of individuals that acts as a liaison between kill shelters and animal rescue groups. In May of 2014 we started doing our own adoptions. Once the dog (or cat, etc.) is completely vetted, we will then place them into an approved foster home to get them healed up and ready to be adopted. We also work with local rescues to find a foster home in their network. At that point, the pet becomes part of the receiving rescue if it is transferred.

We still truly believe that it takes a village to save a life.
