ADOPT a dog! Last updated: 04.27.08

Thank you for taking the time to meet us, we are all anxiously waiting for you to stop by for a visit. We're the lucky ones who were rescued from the streets and other various places. We are full of unconditional love and would be so happy to share all of it with you. This is a beautiful place we're in and the people here are so kind to us, but it isn't like having a place to just "call home."

Pets can be a wonderful addition to your family. ABC is unique in that we take special steps to carefully match the compatibility of the owner with their new pet. Adoptions are carefully prescreened with an application and a friendly interview to assure compatibility and that the animal is given lifetime care, commitment and family member respect. This process ensures a lifetime of love and happiness.
