ADOPTION DURING PANDEMIC:

WE HAVE SOME AMAZING DOGS AVAILABLE TO APPROVED VERMONT HOMES, HOWEVER, DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF INQUIRIES FLOODING IN FROM HOMES OUTSIDE OUR COVERAGE AREA AND THE REDUCED VOLUNTEER AVAILABILITY WE ARE NO LONGER LISTING AVAILABLE DOGS ONLINE. .

HOW TO ADOPT: If you live in Vermont and wish to adopt, please fill out or contadt form and Request an Adoption Application, The application gives you a chance to tell us what you are looking for in a dog and tells us what you have to offer a dog,

Once we have your completed application, we will verify your info, and based on your lifestyle and experience we will send you back some potential dogs currently in our foster program. If all parties wish to move ahead a home visit will be schedueled whee we can meet you and your family and see the environment our dog would live in. You are NOT obligated to adopt dog/s we suggest, we know and love our dogs and it is our goal to place them in the best possible home for their unique personalities, activity level , behavior etc.. Our Foster homes do a wonderful job caring for our formerly unwanted and discarded shelter dogs... Adoption is the BEST option.

So, to sum up:

  1. We have many dogs available to adopt by well matched VERMONT homes but most dogs are NOT listed online...

  2. DUE TO REDUCED VOLUNTEER AVAILABLITY AND THE RISK OF COVID, WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING VERMONT APPLICAITONS.

  3. IF YOUR APPLICATION CHECKS OUT OUR ADOPTION TEAM WILL CONTACT YOU AND SUGGEST MATCHES FOR YOU FROM ONE OR MORE OF THE WONDERFUL DOGS IN OUR CARE.

  4. WE REQUIRE AN IN HOME VISIT AND AN IN PERSON INTERVIEW/MEET AND GREET PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF ADOPTION. IF YOU DO NOT WANT ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS TO VISIT YOU IN YOUR HOME THEN DO NOT APPLY.

  5. WE HAVE PLENTY OF AVAILABLE DOGS THEY ARE JUST NOT LISTED ONLINE.

Please BE KIND: We are a small foster home based rural vermont rescue, and we do not have an army of volunteers... although that would be nice! lol... Everyone here is a part time volunteer only, working full time "real" jobs, caring for homes, kids, elderly parents, meals to cook, home-schooling, caring for animals etc. Your patience, kindness and understanding during this time is so appreciated. 

ATTENTION: we will not approve adoption applications from anyone who is rude, abusive or disrespectful toward any of our volunteers.

When contacting us Please Keep in Mind we are operating with a very minimal amount of volunteers, so our response time may be delayed more than we'd like and we appreciate your kindness and patience.
