Overview

Mission

Provide consulting services to prospective pet adopters.

What it reported doing in 2024

Pet adoption consulting services.bridge existing relationships wth several shelters and rescues in the south where there is an abundance of loving family dogs who are on death row or who are simply abandoned on the streets. We consult with our colleagues in the south who assess the dog's temperament so that we understand fully the type of home each dog will require. We then carefully consult with potential adopters to make sure that the matches between homeless dogs and loving families have the best chance of being successsful and permanent.
