About Our Puppy Adoptions

Rescue Ranch puppypalooza

Rescue Ranch puppypalooza

The puppies displayed our "Available Puppies" page are raised through the Rescue Ranch Puppy Program. They are usually  housed at the Sanctuary, and some spend time in foster homes. The best way to meet our puppies at the Adoption Center is during one of our a Puppypalooza events. You can also ask about making special arrangements to meet puppies on another day.

All potential adopters must meet the puppy they are interested in as part of the approval process.

A healthy, happy puppy is also a well-socialized and confident puppy.  We make sure their development gets off to a good start by socializing them with adults and children, other dogs, and sometimes even cats. Puppies also receive the best healthcare we can provide.

Before going home, all of our puppies will have:

  • Recieved at least their first two puppy shots for parvo/distemper and other common illnesses.*
  • Been dewormed as appropriate.
  • Undergone a puppy wellness exam with a veterinanian.
  • Received a microchip that is registered with a free registry.

*We’ll then make arrangements to ensure they receive their regular booster shots at 12 and 16 weeks as applicable.

At 6-8 months, we will ensure that they:

  • Receive all their adult vaccinations, including rabies.
  • Are dewormed if necessary.
  • Are spayed/neutered by our veterinarian (unless the adopter provides Rescue Ranch with proof of spay/neuter).

Puppy adoptions are similar to adult dog adoptions, but adopters must also agree to:

  • Spay/neuter their puppy when it is about 6-8 months old ( or older for giant breeds) We will contact you to make arrangements for your puppy's rabies shot and spay/neuter appointment.
  • Sign a Puppy Adoption Agreement. This is similar to our Adult Dog Agreement but includes the spay/neuter requirements and other puppy-specific terms.

As with all of its dogs, Rescue Ranch makes a lifetime commitment to its puppies.
