      <image:title>HOME 2 - OUR MISSION</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our dogs come to us in different ways: relinquished by their owners, found as strays, or abandoned at a shelter. It doesn’t matter how we find them, we take them into our rescue, provide veterinary care, evaluate their behavior with regards to their age and temperament, and match them with their best adoptive home! All of our volunteers have rescued and placed dogs for years. We are committed to decreasing the numbers of dogs euthanized at overcrowded shelters, primarily in the South.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HOME 2 - ADOPT A FRIEND</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are a foster based rescue, which means that we do not have a facility that you can visit. Most of our dogs come to us from our rescue partners in areas outside of New England, taken from kill shelters where they have landed due to no fault of their own - many are strays, others have been turned in by their owners. Because of their various backgrounds, we rarely have any medical or ownership history on them. All of our dogs are vetted age-appropriate meaning they are spayed or neutered and given all necessary vaccines. Together with our vet we will treat them for medical issues that are diagnosed. When they are ready to go to their forever homes, our dogs are transported with a USDA certified transport company and require a license to cross state lines (aka a health certificate) to travel.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As part of our protocol to match our dogs with the perfect family for them, we need to get some general information about you and your family. Applicants often ask how long it will take to adopt a dog. That can sometimes be a difficult question to answer.  Often, we have approved adopters waiting in the wings, or because of social media, we may get inundated with new applications.  We ask for your patience and understanding so our volunteers can process applications, evaluate dogs, conduct phone interviews, and arrange home visits.  This can sometimes take time and is a matter of matching the right dog for the right family. This does not reflect negatively on any one applicant. We look forward to learning more about you!</image:caption>

The more you tell us about you and your lifestyle the easier it will be for us to process your application. Our adoption team will review your application and determine if it meets our requirements to adopt. One of our adoption coordinators will reach out to you via email to set up a phone interview. Please check your Spam folder in case our email ends up there. During the phone interview, our coordinator will explain what happens next. We will ask to conduct a home visit or a virtual visit.

      <image:caption>Most of our dogs come to us from our rescue partners in areas outside of New England, taken from kill shelters where they have landed due to no fault of their own - many are strays, others have been turned in by their owners. Because of their various backgrounds, we rarely have any medical or ownership history on them. All of our dogs are vetted age-appropriate meaning they are spayed or neutered and given all necessary vaccines. Together with our vet we will treat them for medical issues that are diagnosed.
