HOW TO APPLY TO ADOPT

If you are interested in adopting, please understand that clicking “I’m Interested” or submitting an inquiry through Petfinder is not an adoption application.

To be considered:

Submit an adoption application through our website
Our volunteer team reviews all applications carefully
Dogs are matched based on best fit, not first-come, first-served

Because we are a volunteer-run nonprofit rescue, application review can take up to 10 days, and sometimes longer depending on volume.

If you do not hear from us after that time, it means we have chosen not to move forward with your application.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT OUR FOSTER-BASED RESCUE

We are a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue located in Kentucky. Our dogs live in foster homes rather than in a public shelter setting, which helps us better understand their personalities, routines, and needs before adoption.

This allows us to make thoughtful placement decisions that support long-term success for both the dog and adopter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSPORT INFORMATION

Although our dogs are fostered in Kentucky, we also offer transport for approved adopters in select locations.

Current transport locations:

~Greenwood, Indiana
~Wilmington, Ohio
~Washington, Pennsylvania

Transport is available only after:

Application approval
Deposit payment
Signed transport agreement

A transport label means the dog may travel through our scheduled transport program once these steps are completed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
~Is this dog still available?

If the dog is listed and does not show adoption pending on our website, we are still accepting applications.

Please note that many dogs receive multiple applications.

~Is the dog potty trained?

Unless specifically stated in the dog’s bio, assume potty training is still in progress.

Many rescue dogs come from difficult backgrounds and may need patience, consistency, and training in their new home.

~Do you respond to every application?

We review every application carefully, but due to the volume we receive, we cannot respond individually to every applicant.

The Irish Wolfhound is a giant dog breed known for its impressive size, gentle temperament, and historical significance as a skilled hunter. These dogs are incredibly loyal and make excellent family pets, despite their intimidating appearance. With a strong athletic build and a striking, shaggy coat, the Irish Wolfhound requires ample space to roam and regular exercise to remain healthy and happy. They are known for their friendly nature and make wonderful companions for those looking for a loyal and devoted four legged family member.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
