Adopt A Dog
Meet Our Dogs
Each dog you see here has already traveled a long road, some have been abandoned, some surrendered, others simply forgotten. But no matter their past, they all deserve the same thing: a chance to be loved, safe, and home.
We’ve gotten to know these dogs through our foster homes, where they've begun to heal and show us who they really are. Now, they’re ready for the next chapter. Take your time, read their stories, and if one of them feels like home to you, we hope you’ll reach out. Their second chance could begin with you.
Adoption Process
We know adopting a dog is a big decision, and we’re here to help make it as smooth (and snort-filled) as possible. Here's what to expect:
1. Submit Your Application
Start by filling out our Adoption Application. You’ll receive an automated response right away, and then a follow-up from our Adoption Coordinator, usually within 1–2 days. We’re a 100% volunteer, foster-based rescue, and most of us have full-time jobs outside of rescue work, so we appreciate your patience while we process your application.
2. Vet Check & Home Visit
We require all pets in your home (past and present) to be spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and on heartworm prevention. Once we receive a solid vet reference, we’ll invite you to complete a virtual “home visit” via Dropbox. This includes uploading photos and videos of your home, yard, and a short intro video of your family (furry and human). Don’t worry! We’ll guide you through the tech part if you need help!
3. Approval + Matching
After reviewing your home visit, we’ll let you know if you’re approved. If the dog you applied for is available and a good match for your lifestyle, we’ll send instructions to finalize the adoption. You’ll then receive the adoption agreement and fee info, followed by the foster parent’s contact to set up a pick-up within 7 days.
If the dog isn’t available or isn’t a great fit, don’t worry, we’ll work with you to find a better match. You’re also welcome to let us know if another one of our dogs has caught your eye!
4. Finalizing the Adoption
Once everything is squared away, it’s time to meet your new best friend! We’ll coordinate the pick-up and cheer you on as you welcome your snorty soulmate home.
Heads up: Just because a dog is listed on our site doesn’t mean they’re not already in the process of being adopted. We mark a dog “pending” only after a potential adopter has completed the whole process and is arranging pick-up. We’ll always let you know if a dog has multiple applications before moving forward with the home visit—and we encourage you to keep an open mind. The right pup may surprise you!
Yard Requirements
We require a fenced yard to adopt, except in certain circumstances that will be at our discretion. All fenced yards must be fully fenced, recently checked for holes/gaps and secure enough that a small dog cannot get through. Any app that has a doggie door and no fenced yard will not be considered. An “invisible or underground fence” will not be accepted as a fence.
Out of State Adoptions
We do adopt to out of state, for approved applicants. Our rescue does not do sight unseen adoptions, chain transfers, and we do not place our dogs on planes alone to fly as cargo. If an application is approved we require those applicants travel to Oklahoma to pick up their rescue animal. Since most of our animals our too big to fly commercial most people fly in and then have to drive home.
Adoption Agreement
All adopters must sign an adoption agreement when adopting any of our dogs. This agreement states that you will take proper care of your new dog including future vet care when needed. All adoption agreements also state that the dog will be returned to the rescue if the adopter can no longer keep the dog for any reason. We highly recommend allowing at least a month for a dog to adjust; oftentimes settling into a new home can take time and lots and lots of patience. Always remember you are adopting a dog that has been through something in order to end up in rescue, so it is important to be understanding and patient with them as they adjust to their new life.
Adoption fees range from $200 - $1,500 depending on the dog. We do list this for each dog in the description. Puppies are the highest because they take the most care and vetting before being adoption ready. We make every effort to make sure prices are fair for each dog. Please understand all prices include the dog being fully vetted and health checked. It is vitally important to us that our dogs go to the best homes possible, so our prices are set to assure serious applicants only. The adoption fee is on a cash basis and is non-refundable. Please also note, no one in this organization is on a salary of any kind through the rescue. All money from adoptions goes directly back into saving more dogs.

Health of Your New Pet
While we cannot guarantee life span, we do make every effort to assure our dogs are in good health. We also will inform you before adoption, if you have decided to adopt a dog that does have a known health issue. All dogs are fully vetted at the time of adoption which includes spay/neuter, microchip, all vaccines - Rabies, Bordetella, and DHLP - along with heartworm check and the first month of preventative. The only exception would be puppies, and they will be fully up to date on their vaccines for their age. You will receive paperwork to bring to your vet, so you will know when their next set of shots are due.
