PROCESS OF ADOPTION:
After we have had time to review your application and check references, we will be back in touch with you. This is a totally volunteer organization; therefore please allow at least 48 hours for us to get back with you. If at that time you have NOT gotten a reply, please e-mail us as your application may not have arrived. (ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT.)
After your submitted application has been processed, references checked and approved, a HOME VISIT will be scheduled after which time arrangements will then be discussed regarding meeting your potential new family member.
Adoption fees range from $150-$275, based on the age/adoptability of each specific dog. HOWEVER, please inquire about our SENIOR SANCTUARY PROGRAM if you are open to adopting a dog in double digit years. We believe these SPECIAL individuals and families deserve even more consideration/support and we make every effort to make these adoptions a WIN WIN for both our DOG and POTENTIAL FAMILY.

COCOA is a wonderful and friendly sheltie that was surrendered to an area Humane Society for the sole reason that the family couldn't afford her. I'd think it would have to be darn tough to let this sweet girl go as she's just been a wonderful guest since she's arrived and made herself at home almost instantly. She loves attention, appears to be housetrained and has blended into a house full of other dogs and don't even have a problem with the pesky cat. She's a beautiful mahogany sable girl that's about 1-1 1/2 years old possibly, completely vetted and already on monthly preventatives.
