NON-VETERAN ADOPTION

Occasionally, a dog fails to reach the standards necessary for a companion/service dog, or circumstances have changed for the veteran who applied. In those cases, we look for a non-veteran family, with or without companion/service dog needs, to adopt our fur friend and provide them with a forever home. The adoption fee for each animal will vary and will be based on expenses incurred in the rescue, veterinary and rehabilitation, boarding, and training process. If you would like to be considered for a non-veteran adoption, please complete the application below and we will be in contact as soon as possible.
