AVAILABLE DOGS FOR ADOPTION

​

ADOPTING A DOG IS A HUGE COMMITMENT. YOU MUST BE WILLING TO SHARE YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR HEART WITH THIS ANIMAL FOR UP TO 15 YEARS. PETS ARE EXPENSIVE TO KEEP, AND THE FIRST AND LAST YEARS OF THEIR LIVES CAN BE THE MOST COSTLY. MANY DOGS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR THEIR SECOND (OR THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH...) HOMES HAVE SOME BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES THAT HAVE RESULTED IN THEIR REHOMING OR RESULTED FROM THE REHOMING PROCESS. SOME BEHAVIOURS TAKE A LONG TIME TO CHANGE AND A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR CANINE PARTNER IS ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESS. IF YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THIS, CLICK BELOW TO SEE THE DOGS WE CURRENTLY HAVE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Petfinder is an online, searchable database of animals who need homes. It is also a directory of nearly 11,000 animal shelters and adoption organizations across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Organizations maintain their own home pages and available-pet databases.
