The name of our rescue says it all. Our goal is to find our dogs permanent loving homes, where they will be treated as a member of the family for the rest of their lives. As such, we will be happy to work with you to help you find the right dog for your family.
Our adoption fees, which include transportation, all necessary veterinarian fees, spay/neuter procedures, and quarantine charges, generally range from $350 to $450.
The process
• Complete and submit the online adoption application. Please tell us about yourself so that we can do our best to ensure we match you with the best dog for you. We will check your references and process your application.
• If you’ve been approved as an adopter, and the dog is in a foster home in the Northeast, we will contact you to set up a time and location to meet the dog. You’ll be asked to sign an adoption contract and to pay the adoption fee prior to bringing the dog home with you.
• If you’ve been approved as an adopter, and the dog is in the South, we will make the arrangements to bring the dog to the Northeast. You’ll be asked to sign an adoption contract and to pay the adoption fee prior to bringing the dog home with you.
Making sure it’s a lasting relationship
There is a two week trial period for every adoption. If you find within the two weeks that the dog doesn’t fit well into your home, he or she will be moved into foster care and the adoption fee minus $100 will be refunded.
Transportation information
Cost is included in the adoption fee. PETS LLC, a transport service consisting of an air-conditioned horse-trailer, travels from the south to New England almost weekly, arriving in New England on Saturdays. We will give you a “ballpark” pickup time but the transporters generally contact you the Friday evening prior to arrival with a closer estimate of the pick up time.
Dogs and pups being adopted into MA must fulfill our state’s required two-day quarantine requirement at our quarantine site at VCA/Heritage Hill Veterinary Clinic in Medfield, MA, before going to their homes. In MA, adoption times are generally 3:30-6pm on Mondays at Heritage Hill.
When the time comes, we will provide you with all the instructions, times, locations and directions for picking up your dog.
