WE RESCUE DOGS FROM HIGH-KILL SHELTERS

We rescue dogs from overcrowded high-kill shelters (in Southern California, Alabama and other locations) and transport them to dog-loving Portland, Oregon.

WE FIND LOVING FOSTER HOMES

Once the rescued dogs have been transferred to the Portland, Oregon area we match each dog with a loving foster home. The foster provides much-needed love, a warm bed, routine, some basic training, trips to the vet and adoption events, as needed.

The dog’s foster gets to know the dog well and how they do in a home environment, thus we do a great job matching people with the right dog, and the right people for the dog!

WE FIND A FOREVER HOME!

After reviewing a potential adopter’s application, we make a visit to their home to make sure our underdogs are being placed with a home that can serve the dog’s needs. If it is a match, then we celebrate another adoption!

I still haven't been allowed to touch him. He hides under the bed most of the time. It breaks my heart but I think this is the right place for him.
