DISCLAIMER:  many of our dogs receive multiple applications and interest from already approved adopters, so we are not able to guarantee a dog’s availability until your application is fully approved. We work through applications in the order they are received until we find the right fit.

**We are currently not adopting to MA or ME residents due to strict quarantine laws. Thank you for your understanding**
