Adoption Process
Carefully consider if you are ready for a dog. The dog you adopt is a LIFETIME commitment.
NOTE: All dogs are fostered in private homes in the area of Austin/Round Rock/Cedar Park unless otherwise noted on the individual dog's page. You will be asked to go meet the dog at the foster location. We don't bring the dog to you. The application process consists of contacting your vet (if applicable) and three references, and a virtual home visit. Upon approval, you will be contacted and invited to visit the dog you are interested in.

Adoption Policy
We place our dogs into the most suitable home according to their temperament and needs. It is not unusual for multiple families to be interested in the same dog at the same time. We commend your desire to save a rescue dog!
