Very Important!

We often get multiple applications for a dog and they are considered on a first come, first served basis but ultimately, we will approve the home that we feel is the best for the dog. An application does not guarantee that you will be approved for the dog of your choice as we make a great effort to match the perfect dog with the perfect home. The application is not a contract and is for information only to begin the evaluation process to qualify your family for adoption.

It has been our experience that Yorkies can and will become aggressive with small children so we do not place them in homes with children under 10 years of age for the protection of both the dog and the child. Most of these dogs have spent their entire life in a cage and have never seen a child so we have no way of knowing how they will react.

These dogs have spent their entire lives in a kennel environment and are not house trained so we require a stay at home parent to teach them for all except the senior dogs who sleep a great deal.

Most of these dogs have spent their entire lives in a cage so can NEVER be confined to a small space under any circumstances. If it is necessary to confine, a baby gate or an x pen is acceptable for short periods of time.

Prior to approval, you will be asked to provide pictures of your home where the dog will sleep, play, and live or whenever possible we will arrange a home visit. When we have received your application and your pictures or your home visit has been done and you have been approved for adoption, we will make arrangements with you to pick up the dog immediately.

We strive to make the adoption process a good experience for both you and your new companion. We want these dogs to live a long, healthy life with their new "parents" and for them to become the center of your world. They require much love and patience, but watching them blossom into wonderful companion dogs will be the most rewarding experience of your life.

If you would like to apply to foster any of our dogs, please fill out the adoption application and indicate that you would like to foster.

More Information and Adoption Fees (Remember all fees are tax deductible)

For the safety and well being of the dogs, we do not ship. Approved adopters will need to make arrangements to pick up the dog where he/she is being fostered.

Our main facility is a licensed shelter so we do not provide a delivery service. However, when time allows we can sometimes arrange to deliver a dog to a mutually agreed place within reason of the foster parent's home. All of our dogs are in foster homes in Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Please plan to pick up your dog within 3 days after being approved or we will place the dog back on the available list if we have not received a deposit. We will hold a dog for 14 days after receiving a 50% non-refundable deposit before placing them back on the available list. We will not transport a dog to another state without a 50% deposit.

We will provide 2 belly bands for all of our adoptive boys to be used as a training tool prior to house breaking.

All of our dogs have been checked by a veterinarian, (thank you Dr. Brubaker) spayed or neutered, dental done as needed, wormed, heart worm tested, micro chipped, and vaccinated. We do not guarantee the health of any dog. We do offer free 30 day limited pet health insurance.

We will provide all available paperwork that we have with the dog and provide the adopter with any information we have regarding health and behavioral issues.

Our tax deductible donations for the dogs are as follows: 8 weeks to 1 year-$350.00, 1 to 5 years-$300.00, 5 to 8 years-$250.00, 8+ years-$150.00. The donations are non-negotiable as they are based on continuing to rescue these very special dogs.

We will take a dog back at anytime if the adopter is unable to care for the dog and if the dog is returned within 14 days, we will refund 75% of the adoption donation. Our contract states that if you become unable to care for the dog for any reason, it MUST be returned to us. We do expect a total commitment from the adopter to the dog and we are always available to answer any questions or concerns that arise.

A 20% discount will apply to adopters who adopt 2 or more dogs.

We accept cash, check, PayPal, or credit/debit cards.

Please consider donating a bag of food or a case of canned food for our little toothless ones when you pick up your new companion to help the ones who are still waiting for their perfect new home. Many tail wags of thanks!
