Adopt
Why adopt instead of buying a dog from a pet-shop or a breeder
There are more than 7 million dogs being killed every year in the US alone, in municipal shelters and in many shelters of the Humain Society.
Thinking About Adopting? Start Here.
Bringing a dog into your life is a big decision—and one that deserves care and clarity. When you adopt from us, you’re not guessing. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
Unlike adopting blindly, our team can often share your future dog’s background—or provide a well-informed picture—so you know what to expect. You’ll understand their personality, needs, and how to best support them in your home.
Our dogs are calm, balanced, and ready for real companionship. They’re house-trained, leash-trained, and most are used to living peacefully with cats and farm animals. All they need is consistency, clear boundaries, and a caring environment.
You’re welcome to visit our sanctuary and meet the dogs in person. Spend time at our Animal Activity Center to see if there’s a connection—and to start building trust, right from the beginning.
Not sure how to start? We’ll teach you how to walk your dog with confidence, feed them properly, and correct unwanted behavior in a respectful, effective way.
This isn’t just adoption. It’s a partnership—for life.
