If you have filled out an application already, have waited over a week, and have not heard back from our rescue president Elizabeth Riddle email her at:

To give up your dog, you must fill out the online owner giveup form. We rarely take owner give-ups and never take aggressive dogs.

NOTE: We do not have the funds or resources to help people with serious health issues with their dogs.

If you are a shelter, humane society, or pound, and wish to transfer a dog to this rescue, please fill out a Shelter Transfer Form.

If you are a private individual or a shelter, humane society or pound, and would like to post a dog to our Community Dogs page, please fill out a Community Dogs Posting Request Form.
