Tiko is the perfect size to be a purse puppy!  He's about 5 lbs, and wants to be held, cuddled and carried.  He's about a year old and would love another small dog to play with, but really, just wants to be with his humans.  He came from a hoarding situation, where he was kept with about 25 dogs in a small trailer. He's used to being crated, but does love to get out in the yard and play and romp.  We think this guy would be the perfect velcro dog.  No kids under 12 please - dog savvy cats ok. 

If you have any questions that aren't answered below or under our adoption information page, the quickest way to get a response is to email us at resq@resqanimalcoalition.com.

Most of our dogs will require secure, fenced yards.  We will check this by a home visit or if out of town, via satellite photos.  If these are not available we will ask another rescue to conduct a home visit.

Adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, flea treatment, heartworm test and preventative, wormings, and all other medical care needed to ensure a healthy dog.  Fees vary, based on the care required, age and needs of the animal.  We rely strictly on our adoption fees since we don't receive any outside funding.

The adoption fees we require do not cover the medical expenses, let alone the daily cost of taking care of the dogs we hope to re-home. Additional expenses are out-of-pocket.

We are ALL volunteers; there are NO paid employees in our rescue. The adoption fee is used to help with veterinary care. All of the dogs in our care are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, are up to date on all vaccines, are heartworm tested and kept on year round heartworm prevention. If they have tested positive for heartworm - they will be treated. Any and all medical issues that our vets find or that arise while in foster care are treated.

WE DO NOT ADOPT OUR DOGS TO HOMES WITH UNALTERED PETS...NO EXCEPTIONS!

In order to adopt one of these wonderful pups you will be required to: Fill out an adoption application, provide a veterinary reference, agree to a telephone/email screening, have one of our representatives conduct a home visit, complete and sign an adoption contract, and pay an adoption fee.
