We are independents that rescue and foster animals in need, while providing vet care, spay/neuter, training and evaluation. Although we deal mainly in dogs, we network with other rescue groups through out the Crystal Coast, specifically the Morehead City and Carteret Country area of North Carolina. We have fostered 160 + dogs that come to us in a variety of pure breeds, mixes, size and ages.
Because of the dire need in our area for rescue and adoption services, due to the economy, military deployment, abandonment , neglect etc. our goal is to produce a healthy well balanced pet to loving, affectionate responsible forever homes.
If possible, we bring these pets into a home, to acclimate to family life. There they are house trained (if necessary) learn to obey house rules and be good with other dogs, children etc. They are trained in leash and basic commands. We also learn their idiosyncrasies and any fears they might have etc. This helps us to place these pets in the right home.
If we are not able to accept a pet, due to current lack of funds or available fosters, after insuring the pet is healthy and family oriented and if the owner can retain the pet during the adoption process, we provide postings on our site and PetFinders. Our goal, whether we take the pet or it is held by the owner, is for you to be as happy with the adoption as is the pet having their second chance at a good life.
If you are interested in one of our available pets it would be preferable to complete our on-line application. This expedites your approval and is an important step in evaluating whether an adoption is a good match between you and the pet. There is never any obligation for you to meet or adopt a pet.
In the event that you adopt a pet and it is not the right fit, we will work with you to take the pet back for readopting, depending on foster availability. Returning a pet can be very disappointing to you and confusing to the pet. We do our best to insure that you are happy with your pet and they with you, so please think seriously before you adopt., they will be a member of your family for a long time.
If one of our available pets may not be what you are looking for, we would like to keep your email on our waiting list. We can then advise you when a pet of your desire comes in, send you information on another possibility or suggest other rescue groups that may have one matching your request.. If you would like to be on our waiting list as "pre-approved", please complete our adoption/waiting list application.
As we stated, besides insuring that you will be happy, our interests are also in insuring that the pet will have a happy and good life also. Because of this, there are certain things that we desire in a good adoption, such as:
- The pet is not left mostly outside.
- The pet is not left for long periods alone.
- It is not chained or restricted to a runner line.
- It will not be used for medical research or "bait"
- It is provided sufficient exercise, especially if you do not have a fenced in yard
- It is provided sufficient human interaction and socialization
- It is provided healthy and sufficient food, and that water is provided.
- Required vet care, necessary shots and preventative meds are provided.
Again, we spend considerable time and funds, on a volunteer basis to provide the best pets we can for adoptions. All we ask is that this results in the goal we are after, which is that all of our efforts produce a good life for our pets, in a forever home with love and affection.
