Our adoption process is simple and tailored to help you find the perfect match. Start by browsing our available dogs online or attending one of our adoption events. Once you find a dog you’re interested in, complete an adoption application. Our team will review your application, schedule a meet-and-greet, and guide you through the next steps to bring your new furry friend home.

Our adoption fee covers a comprehensive package to ensure your dog is healthy and ready for their new home. This includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and a health checkup. Every dog also receives behavioral evaluations and any necessary medical treatments before adoption.

While we primarily focus on serving the San Diego area, we welcome applications from nearby regions. However, we do require potential adopters to meet the dog in person to ensure a good fit. If you’re outside of our area, please contact us to discuss specific arrangements.

We want every adoption to be successful and will work with you to address any challenges. If it truly isn’t a good match, we ask that you return the dog to us rather than rehoming them yourself. Our priority is ensuring the dog’s well-being and finding them the right home.

There are many ways to make a difference! You can donate to support our rescue and rehabilitation efforts, volunteer your time at our events or facilities, or foster a dog in need. Every contribution, big or small, helps save lives.
