You can submit an adoption inquiry right on our website through the designated adoption page. Just fill out the form with your info and details about the dog you’re interested in. Once we receive your inquiry, our team will review it and contact you with next steps.

👉 Pro tip: Don’t refresh or exit the page while filling it out — doing so could erase your answers, and you’d need to start over. Be as detailed as possible so we can help match you with your perfect pup!

Yes — we charge a $7 non-refundable inquiry fee. This helps our small team process applications efficiently and manage the high volume of interest we receive. You only need to pay this fee once, no matter how many dogs you’re interested in.

We’re a donation-powered rescue, and the adoption inquiry fee helps cover the time and care it takes to thoughtfully review, qualify, and match each adopter. It’s how we make sure every mother and pup finds the safest, happiest home — while fueling our ability to keep rescuing those who need it most!

Easy! No need to submit a new full inquiry or pay again. Just fill out our quick Interest Update Form to let us know which additional dog you’d like to apply for. This lets us update your record without the extra steps.

If your inquiry went through, you’ll see a confirmation screen right after clicking Submit. You’ll also see the $7 charge on your bank statement shortly after.

👉 Didn’t see a confirmation screen? No charge on your bank statement? That means your application likely didn’t go through. Double-check your bank statement if you’re unsure.

Nope! You’re only charged if you clicked the final Submit button at the end. Just entering your card info earlier doesn’t trigger a charge or place a hold. To be sure, check your bank statement. If you don’t see the charge, your inquiry didn’t go through.

We wish we could give individual updates, but because we get so many inquiries, we can only contact those who are the best match. If that’s you, you’ll hear from us directly within 4–10 business days. And don’t worry — your application stays on file, so we might reach out if another dog is a great fit down the line!

Our adoption fees are:

• $400 for adult dogs (over 6 months)

• $600 for puppies (under 6 months)

These fees help cover the costs of care while the dog is with us — including vaccinations and their spay/neuter at one of our approved vets. We’re a nonprofit and do not profit from adoption fees. In fact, most of the time, the costs for each dog exceed the adoption fee. So every adoption helps offset expenses but doesn’t cover everything it takes to rescue, care for, and prep these pups for forever homes.

Absolutely — and it means the world to us! While adoption fees help, we often don’t break even on the dogs we rescue. If you’d like to donate to cover more of your dog’s care, just let us know. We’re happy to share details, and we appreciate every bit of extra support.

Right now, we’re not able to schedule meet-and-greets before receiving an application — our small team and foster network simply don’t have the bandwidth. But we do our best to provide detailed bios, photos, and videos so you can get to know each dog.

We also host adoption events where you can meet dogs in person — keep an eye on our website and social media for upcoming dates! If you’re interested in a specific dog at an event, please submit an application and mention the event name + dog’s name.

Yes! We’re here for you during the transition and beyond. You can reach out any time for questions, resources, or guidance as your new pup settles in. Just let us know!

Out-of-state adoptions are considered, but local adoptions are preferred. If you’re adopting from out of state, you’ll need to come to LA to pick up your dog — and you’ll handle all travel docs and related costs.
