Our puppies arrive from many situations- an “oopsie” litter, partner rescues, and sometimes a home situation. Most of our puppies spend 3-4 weeks in a loving foster home, receiving the best care and socialization from our amazing FAPL fosters! Many puppies are well on their way in house training skills, but of course will need continued time, training, and patience. Please keep in mind, exact breed or size when grown is not guaranteed! Puppies will keep you on your toes, and the end result will be so worth it!!

No appointment is necessary to adopt. Adoptions are done on a first-come, first-served basis by visiting the shelter. Applications will not be accepted in advance. Please bring a copy of lease agreement if you rent a home/apartment.

If you have dogs and/or children in your family and are interested in adopting a Friendship dog please bring them with you for a meet and greet.

All dogs receive one or more vaccinations, a basic veterinary examination, are dewormed, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. Dogs 7 months and older are heartworm tested.
