About Us

With over 30 years of combined experience in veterinary medicine and competition in the equine and canine arenas, we bring a deep understanding and passion to animal care. We frequently receive calls from individuals who, after allowing the breeding of their pets, realize they are unable to care for the resulting litters. When we take in these puppies, we require owners to spay and neuter the parents as a condition of surrender, and we cover the costs to ensure the breeding cycle ends. We pull from shelters in the south as well. We also work with many rescues across the US. It is our commitment to responsible rescue and population control.

By intervening before puppies end up in shelters, we help protect them from exposure to illnesses like parvo and other diseases common in high-volume environments. However, given our small size and limited resources, we must be selective about the cases we take on. Even so, when we cannot bring puppies into our care, we often direct families to resources and cover spay/neuter costs to make an impact beyond our walls.

We recognize that our adoption fees are sometimes higher than others, but this is intentional. These fees discourage resale and ensure adopters are committed to the process. While some may have differing views, we do this because the costs of rescue often exceed adoption fees, keeping us operating at a deficit. In addition to dogs, we also foster horses, which comes with substantial expenses of its own.

We are a 501(c)3 and our license number is DS-546403.. These are crucial steps in strengthening our ability to help animals responsibly.

Rescue work is as complex as it is rewarding. The animal welfare community is vast, and everyone has their own approach. Our focus is on doing what works best for us and the animals we care for. We encourage you to explore, learn, and choose what aligns with your values—no judgment here.

There are many ways to help—this is ours. We may each do things differently, but together, we all play a role in making a difference.
