Please check if you are in our adoption radius before applying.
Due to the lack of history on our dogs, we can not place them in homes with children under 12 years of age.
We do not have a contact phone number as we are not a 9 to 5 shelter.
We reserve the right not to respond to applications that do not meet our adoption criteria.
We get a high volume of correspondences, please be patient!
