VOLUNTEER

We match homeless, deserving cats and dogs with families like yours.

We have a companion animal for your family! We listen to your needs and desires in a companion animal. Since we are a foster-based rescue, we know our dogs and cats personalities. We can suggest any compatible adoptable cats or dogs in our care. We have a high success rate with our adoptions. This is partially due to our application process where we strive to connect with our adopters and suggest an animal for their lifestyle. We also allow our adopters animals meet the potential new family member to set up chances for success. We support or animals and offer support for them for life if the need arises.

Take a Look at a Few of our Adoptable Dogs!

Dolly

This sweet girl loves people and her favorite thing to do is snuggle on the sofa. She also enjoys her daily walks and is great on her leash. She is 100% potty and crate trained, and will sit by the door when she needs to go out. Dolly cannot handle any small dog energy. It makes her very anxious. She would do best in a home with a like sized, calm dog with proper introductions, or a home with no dogs where she can be the queen. Dolly does very well with cats and loves watching them, but she never…

Due to the constant infections & pain, and probably frustration from her past owners in administering the eye drops, Sophie has developed a fear of having her eyes and feet touched. However, Sophie is making incredible progress…

Toby

Toby is house trained, knows how to walk on a leash and is learning sit and come. He is about 50 lbs. fully grown and a year old. Toby is mixed breed of predominantly hound and herding breeds.

Piper

Piper is a loyal girl who will be her person’s shadow. She loves to run, jump, play ball (she’d make an amazing in-fielder), hike, and be in the middle of any gathering. She energetically greets visitors and quickly settles in to the rhythm/energy of the room. She is an excellent office buddy, and loves to gives hugs, kisses and snuggles. She is patient with small children and adaptable in different family homes when we travel. Piper’s safe space has always been standing between our legs. She loves a good butt or ear scratch and has never been comfortable showing her…
