Why adopt

The best things in life are rescued

People come in thinking they are doing the dog a favor. Most of them leave saying it went the other way.

Five reasons

What adopting actually gives you

01

Unconditional love

A rescue dog does not hold back. They greet you at the door like you have been gone a year. That does not wear off.

02

Health and wellbeing

Daily walks, lower stress, more time outside. Dogs pull you into a better routine without asking permission.

03

A sense of purpose

Someone depends on you every single day. For a lot of people that is the part that changes everything.

04

Real personalities

Rescue dogs are not a breed catalog. They are individuals, and we can tell you exactly who each one is.

05

You save a life

Pearl had one day left. Every adoption opens a kennel for the next dog who is out of time.

Worth saying out loud

Seniors and special needs dogs are not a lesser choice

They are usually house trained, already past the chewing years, and grateful in a way that is hard to describe. They also wait the longest.

In their words

What supporters say

The volunteers are wonderful. We just went for a nail trim, both our boys liked everyone, nails look great, then I find out they rescue animals. We will be going back for anything our boys need.
Great down home folks who care for our animals and go the extra mile to make sure they are happy and healthier. Thank you for caring for my dogs like a part of the family.
They do not discriminate: the young, the ones with puppies, and what I love best, the old. They rehab with dedication and belief, and they let sick and old dogs live their best lives for as long as they can.

Support the work

Every dog here got a second chance because someone said yes

Adopt one. Fund a medicated bath. Give monthly. It all keeps the kennels open.
