Who We Are

We are a small group of women and men dedicated to finding homes for abandoned/unwanted Dalmatians. We foster these dogs in our own homes where we evaluate them for temperament, personality and help them learn to trust again. Additionally, these dogs are brought up to date on shots, spayed/neutered and placed on preventative heartworm. We are very selective in our adoption process. After completing the questionnaire, you would be put in touch with a foster home that has a dal that might suit your lifestyle, or you will be informed of dals that are available in shelters near you. Once you have found a dal that seems to "fit" with you - the group will complete necessary references - which includes a vet reference and, if possible, a personal reference and home visit. Finally - an adoption contract is signed - which is a basic adoption contract - but with the stipulation that if anything ever happens in which the dog is no longer able to stay at the adoptive home, or if it just doesn't work out, the dog is returned to the rescue group. It is never returned to a shelter, re-adopted or euthanized. We invest not only our time and money in these spotted babies, but our hearts and souls. Because of this, we are very selective in our adoption process. We ask for an adoption fee of $250 to cover costs incurred during the dog's time in fostering - including vet bills, food and shelter costs. We have very limited space, so we cannot take owner turn-ins into foster, but if the dal is spayed or neutered, we will list them on our website. Each dal that we have fostered and adopted out takes a piece of our heart with them, as we love each and every one.
