We get it — you’ve got a dream dog in mind. But that doesn’t mean you can’t rescue!
This year, we’ve seen a big rise in “desirable” dogs entering rescues— likely the result of backyard breeding and irresponsible ownership as the overpopulation crisis deepens. When people buy from these unethical “breeders,” even with good intentions, it fuels the cycle we’re all trying to break.
The truth? There’s no instant gratification when it comes to bringing home a puppy. Rescue — and ethical breeding alike — take patience, intention, and heart. If you can click a button and buy a puppy, that’s a red flag 🚩
With time and a little research, you can find almost any kind of dog in rescue — purebreds, mixes, doodles, small breeds, and everything in between.
A gentle reminder: our adoption and pre-approval applications aren’t wish lists. Our pups come from high-kill shelters, owner surrenders, or the streets. We can’t predict when a mini bernedoodle, golden pup, or corgi might need saving (and while not impossible, please remember most pups we get are mixes) — but we can promise that every dog we rescue deserves a chance.
With patience, an open heart, and the willingness to give a dog a second chance, you’ll find your perfect match!
