Adopt
A New Leash on Life for Every Dog
How Adoption Will Work
Adoptions will be free. We rescue dogs on death row, train them, and match them with families of children with disabilities. We don’t just hand over a dog and wish everyone luck — we work to make sure it’s the right dog for the right family.
- 1
Rescue
We pull dogs from kill shelters — dogs who are out of time and just need someone to believe in them.
- 2
Train
Each dog gets a behavioral assessment and foundational training, so they’re ready for family life.
- 3
Match
We match each dog with a family where both sides can thrive, and place the dog at no cost to the family.
- 4
Follow Up
Adoption isn’t the end. We check in after placement to help your new companion settle in.
Free — no adoption fees
Who Our Adoptions Are For
Our placements are for families of children with disabilities — families who need a dog but may not be able to afford the cost of a trained one.
Adopt
Free placements of rescued, trained dogs with the families who need them.
Foster
Homes that care for a rescued dog while training and matching happen.
