Please read about our adoption process prior to applying for any animal with us.

Our website has information about our rescue, adoption process and link to our adoption application www.collarofhope.org

 We are a foster home based rescue and have no facility to visit.
 Prior to adoption, our animals are spay/neutered, vaccinated including rabies/age appropriate, microchipped and parasite treated/prevented as a minimum.

Please read this entire bio and go to our website vs the adoption site for specific information and to submit our adoption application. 

Puppies that are not old enough to have received all 3 puppy DHPP vaccines will not be adopted to anyone living in apartments or condos with shared dog area as they are not protected against parvo or distemper until they've received all 3 vaccines.

Our young puppies are adopted on a strict spay/neuter contract. 

The puppies will be DhPP vaccinated according to their age, de-wormed on a regular schedule and micro-chipped.    

Vaccine Protocol is as follows:
DHPP 8-12-16 weeks of age (we start early inoculations)
Bordetella 12 weeks of age
Rabies 4-6 months of age
Adoption fee is $300

​Someone MUST be home most of the time to raise them.  Running home for lunch to check on them just won't work for us or them. Please understand they cannot raise themselves and need someone there to raise them! 
​If you have 15-20 years to devote and commit to one of our babies, please submit your application to get the process started.  

When completing our adoption application for a puppy, please provide the following information on the application.   
1. Explain in detail and specifically:   Your potty training techniques and strategies.
2. Answer applicable questions for when the dog is a baby and when it’s an adult.     

Mama Adeline ended up in a shelter very pregnant and delivered 9   babies there.   The rescue coordinator contacted us to take them as Mama was emaciated and in poor health.   She was not able to even produce enough milk so we split the litter up into 2 foster homes so they could be bottle fed and weaned to healthy, bouncy bundles of beautiful puppies.  
Mama Adeline’s breeds are a mystery but she has a head like a Jack Russell Terrier, body color and size of a herding breed and fur plus tail like a Labrador with a size of 40 pound.     None of her many babies have her coloring.   They look like herding breed, labrador and shepherd mixes with quite the variety of colors.   They will likely be a large sized adult but we cannot guarantee adult size as there is no way to tell what all breeds are in this beautiful litter.   They all have plush coats, not short but not medium length either… just plush.   T hey are all fairly active, playful, snuggly – a really good balance of everything.
