Most of the dogs in America’s shelters were wanted by a family at least briefly. And then those same dogs were tossed aside like a used Kleenex when they became inconvenient. We will not let that happen to any dog in our program. Please help us help them. Don’t breed or buy while homeless pets die.
Please consider all of the reasons to have a pet and all the reasons not to. Money . . . how much wiggle room do you have in your budget? Dogs are expensive. Good quality dog food, veterinary care, toys and treats. It all adds up. Time . . . dogs deserve to be made a part of the family from the first moment their little paws touch the floor. Will you have time to walk him, toss a ball in the backyard, and allow plenty of snuggle time? Does everyone in the family agree to getting a dog? Lots of questions and they all need honest answers.
If you are unsure whether you can commit to a dog for the rest of its life, regardless of whether you move, change jobs, or get divorced, then please rethink your decision to adopt a dog.
Adoption is for the rest of the dog’s life. Rescue dogs already have had enough turmoil in their lives. What they need and deserve is security and stability in their new adoptive homes.
He is my friend, my partner, my defender, my dog.
I am his life, his provider, his love, his leader.
He will be mine (faithful & true) to the last beat of his heart.
I owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
