Adoption FAQs

  • Fill out our application here and if you’re a good match for one of our pups, a volunteer will get in touch with you within 2-3 business days.

  • Yes! We love prepared applicants! As part of our application process, we require 3 non-familial references and a video home tour. If you have all of these ready, it can speed up the process!

  • We do not allow dogs to be placed “on hold” due to a large number of applicants. In addition, holding a dog would mean we can’t free up our foster homes to save more dogs. We suggest making sure you’re absolutely ready to bring a dog into your home before applying!

  • If you are a pre-approved adopter, please email us to request a meeting. If you’re not a pre-approved adopter, start by applying here. We also regularly have events where our adoptable dogs are available to meet.

  • Our adoption fees are as follows and help us cover some (but not all) of the expenses for saving dogs including veterinary care, core vaccines, spay/neuter, and transport:

    Puppies (1 year or younger): $550

    Adults (1-8 years old): $500

    Seniors (Over 8 years old): $450

    Each adoption fee is non-negotiable and non-refundable. In addition to each adoption fee, we require a $60 collar and harness deposit. Our dogs wear our SSR gear when adopted for safety. When our gear is returned, we will refund you the deposit.

  • All of our dogs are rescued from kill-shelters in the United States, predominantly from TX and NC.

  • Upon intake all our dogs undergo a veterinary examination, including spayed/neutered, microchipping, receiving core vaccinations, and heartworm treatment if applicable.
