Helpful Adoption Resources

Massachusetts — We are a shelterless, foster based rescue. Our dogs are either picked up from our state mandated isolation facility in Amesbury MA, or at a foster home in Massachusetts

Adopters should be 23 & older. Please do not take it personally. We understand there are many responsible young adults that love dogs, but it is our policy to not adopt out to anyone under the age of 23.

If you are over 18 and looking to adopt, please reach out to your local shelters, their minimum ages range from 18-21.

Absolutely! We ask that you let your landlord know ahead of time before submitting an application. This helps us to speed up your approval process and makes for an easier conversation when our volunteers call. Breed and weight restrictions may apply, depending on your specific lease requirements.
