FAQ

What is your
adoption fee?
Our adoption fee is between $200-$350. Our dogs are fully vetted
and given the medical care they require for as long as it takes to find
their best forever home. This process is a huge financial commitment. Our
Adoption fee covers only a small portion of the expenses of responsibly
caring for our dogs.

Where are our dogs housed?
We use amazing foster homes, boarding facility, and a private kenneling
setting run by our volunteers. Our dogs are given the opportunity to
socialize and have a variety of positive experiences prior to adoption.
Are your dogs vetted prior to adoption?
All our dogs are fully vetted upon
coming into our rescue.
What is your spay/neuter policy?
All of our dogs/puppies are spay/neutered. If, for some reason
(medical), the dog is unable to be altered before adoption, we require a
$100 refundable deposit. This deposit will be returned upon proof of spay/
neuter. As overpopulation is a major problem, and the cause of so many
adoptable pets being euthanized, we are firm regarding this policy.
Where do your dogs come from?
Majority of our dogs are pulled off the "Urgent - To Be Destroyed" lists
of shelters including the NYC Animal Care and Control and local NJ shelters.
Occasionally dogs are pulled from shelters of the southeastern U.S.
Do we accept owner surrenders?
Upon occasion we have accepted owner
surrenders. Generally, we maintain our foster homes filled to capacity, to
save as many lives as possible. Therefore we are more likely to assist an
owner in the process of re-homing their pet.
Do we allow out of state adoptions?
Yes we do. We accept applications from
adopters within a 3 hour driving radius from us. We have placed dogs
throughout NJ, most of NY and parts of CT and PA.
