Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only adopt within the DFW metroplex?

In most cases, we prefer adopters reside within the DFW metroplex. However, if an adopter is willing to travel to meet one of our available pups, we will allow that at the adopter’s discretion.

For any puppies too young to be spayed or neutered or for pre-adoptions they MUST reside in DFW this ensures that you are close to our vet to get this completed before 8 months of age.

Can I foster to adopt?

Absolutely! The primary goal of a foster is to prepare the pet for its forever home. If during your time fostering, you fall in love with your foster, simply let our team know and once all vetting is complete, you may officially adopt your foster. Our fosters are our #1 priority. All adoption guidelines and fees will apply.

What are your adoption fees?

All regular adoption fees are $300, flat nosed breeds are $500 for medical costs, and VIP dogs have a waived adoption fee. We do run special discounts during adoption events as well as for our repeat fosters! All adoption fees can be paid through PayPal or Zelle and are non-refundable.

We pull animals in need from local shelters, often coming to us sick or injured, and have spent thousands to save some animals in our care, as well as spend hundreds to get each animal up to date on vaccinations and sterilized. Our adoption fees along with donations help us continue to operate and save more.

What is pre-adoption?

Some of our dogs and puppies may be eligible for pre-adoption. In these cases, a pet is open to adoption applications and may move into a selected home while they complete their last few steps such as receiving vaccines and/or getting spayed/neutered which are completed at our vet. After the pet receives all necessary care, the adoption will be completed and finalized at that time.

Can I meet one of your adoptable pets?

Our dogs are in private foster homes. If your adoption application is selected, a meet and greet will be arranged with the current foster. We will also have some available to meet at adoption events throughout the year, which will be posted on our Facebook page!

Do you adopt to people in apartments?

Yes! We will request proof of your apartment’s pet policy and/or proof of a valid ESA letter provided by a medical professional. As long as your pet is allowed by your apartment complex, and the pet you are applying for would do well in that environment, we would love for them to come home with you! Some of our dogs are not suitable for apartments, but this is determined based on the specific dog, not based on breed. We have had German Shepherds and Pitbulls who do extremely well in apartments, and small breeds who need a backyard.

Why don’t you adopt out siblings?

While in theory, it sounds like a great idea to have two puppies of the same age to grow up and entertain each other. However, we have experienced multiple dogs who have been victims of Littermate Syndrome. We do not adopt out siblings to avoid Littermate Syndrome, which can occur when siblings, or two puppies of the same age, grow up together. Puppies with littermate syndrome become highly dependent on one another. Symptoms can include excessive crying, whining, and destructive behavior when siblings are separated.
