Want To Adopt?
Thank you for wanting to adopt — or foster — one of our precious rescues! Many of these dogs have been through tough times and will need time and patience to help them acclimate to a new home. We only adopt to the Western U.S. (no farther east than Colorado). Transport help may be possible.
THIS IS NOT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. These Quick Questions will get us started. Please copy and paste the questions below into an email fill in the answers ON THE SAME LINE. If you are interested in a particular dog, please specify in the email Subject line.
