Rescue FAQs

We are a small, multi-county rescue based in scenic Athens, OH. Our available dogs all reside either in a private family setting or are located in our Cell Dog Program at the Southeastern Correctional Complex/Hocking Unit. We work with local shelters as well as individuals.

Additional adoption info

We require an adopter to start out the process with an application. Upon approval, the adopter can meet with the dog to see if it's a good fit. We do require a signed contract and a $150 adoption fee. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered as well as current on shots. The only exception would be a young puppy which the adopter would be required to have spayed or neutered with a set amount of time. Upon proof of altering from a vet the adopter would receive a $35 rebate from our rescue.
