Respect the dog.
We welcome all breeds. Our dogs available for adoption are temperament and behavior assessed, socialized with other dogs in a socialization center for dogs, spayed or neutered, their vaccinations are up to date, they are microchipped, tested for heartworms and receive monthly flea and heartworm preventatives while in our care. We provided a home with a foster care provider prior to adoption to insure structure and routine in a dogs life that otherwise lacks that.
Each rescue dog has his her own story. Although they can't verbalize whether or not they have had a troubled past experience, they can definitely communicate their desires to love and be loved. Many of our adoptable mutts are taken into our program from brick and mortar shelters because, sadly, their time has run out and they have no other option but to euthanize for space due to the overpopulation problems in our nation. Some of our mutts are taken in from their owners who may be experiencing difficulties that prevent them from providing adequate care. No matter where the dogs we take in come from Secondhand Mutts volunteers and our network of foster providers give their all to provide structure, nurture, socialization and place our dog guests find affection in the temporary home they are provided before they begin a fresh start.
