adopt a dog

 

PLEASE NOTE because of our requirement

for a home visit prior to adoption,

we are only able to adopt within the general area

of Wichita and the surrounding communities.

 

The primary requirement for adoption is to have a history of being responsible pet owners or the desire to be a responsible pet owner.

  

IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN ADOPTION, YOU MUST:

                           
  • Be at least 21 years of age
  • Have all your current pets spayed or neutered
  • Have all your current pets up to date on all vet recommended vaccinations
  • Have your current dog(s) on heartworm preventive
  • Have a securely fenced yard or request an exception for the fence requirement (to be determined on a case by case basis)
  • Live in and/or around the general area of Wichita Kansas (within 30 miles) 

Please remember many of these dogs have been abandoned

once and we wish to ensure this never happens again. 

If you are interested in adopting one of these dogs,

the links below will provide you with our adoption application.

 

Our adoption fee is $125.00 and all dogs are current on vaccinations, heartworm and parasite free, house & crate trained, and microchipped.


 

 

 

If you would like to take this one step further and join us in our quest

to rescue dogs, we encourage you to talk with any of us

about how easy it is to become a foster home.

Do I Go Back Home Today?

 

When my family first adopted me, to live within their home.

They cuddled and they pampered me and groomed with brush and comb.

They played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys.

I sure do love my family, and all the little girls and boys.

 

The children loved to feed me; and give me special treats.

They even let me sleep with them - all cozy in their sheets.

I used to go for lovely walks, often several times a day.

They even fought to hold my lead, I'm so very proud to say!

 

These are the things I'll not forget - a cherished memory.

For now I'm in a shelter, bereft of family.

They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe.

But I didn't know the difference between the old one and the new.

 

The kids and I would grab a rag, and for hours we played tug.

So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed that bedroom rug.

They said that I had lost control and would have to live outside.

I didn't really understand, though I really, really tried!

 

The walks they stopped one by one; they said they had no time.

I wish that I could change things; I wish I knew my crime.

My life became so lonely shackled to a metal chain.

I barked and barked continually, I thought I'd go insane.

 

So they took me to the shelter, but were embarrassed to say why.

They said I'd caused an allergy, then said their last goodbye.

If only I'd had training, as a tiny little pup.

I wouldn't have been hard to live with, when I was all grown up.

 

You only have one day left", I heard the kennel man say.

Does that mean I have a second chance?

"Do I go back home today"?
