********************************************************************************************************

This pet is currently located in Mississippi in one of our foster homes. We provide transport to the Northeast, which is included in the adoption fee. Once your application has been processed and approved, we will complete a phone interview and schedule the next available transport date.

All pets in our care are fully vetted by our veterinary team and checked for contagious diseases prior to travel. We vaccinate, deworm, spay/neuter, microchip, and provide monthly heartworm and flea prevention for every dog in our program.

Please note that many of our dogs are strays, so breed mixes and parentage are often unknown or simply our best guess. We cannot guarantee adult size, temperament, or that any dog will be hypoallergenic.

Once the pet leaves on transport, the adopter assumes full responsibility for all future care and expenses. While we do everything possible to ensure our dogs are healthy before adoption, puppies especially can later develop illnesses such as giardia, coccidia, or parvo, and adult dogs may test negative for heartworms initially and later test positive. All puppies will receive a minimum of three vaccines prior to travel, though many will be fully vaccinated with four rounds before adoption.

We strongly encourage all adopters to obtain pet insurance for their new family member.

If for any reason the adoption does not work out at any time during the pet’s life, the adopter is responsible for arranging and covering transportation costs to return the pet to us or one of our approved rescue partners so the dog can safely return to our care.
