The 5 stars

Many people have asked us about those 5 stars in our logo. What do they mean?

When we first started, we wanted to make some commitments to our dogs, our adopters and ourselves - commitments that would stand us apart and we could live by. We thought of 5 things that would make us an organization from which we would want to adopt a dog, to volunteer for, donate to, or trust to take care for our own dogs if ever needed. These are the 5 stars we live by:

1) IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DOGS.

We Love These Dogs and we treat every dog as one of our own. Each dog in our program becomes part of our family. We play with them, feed them, work with them and love them just like our own. Sometimes it’s hard to let them leave but we know we have done our very best to make sure our dogs go to caring homes that will love and cherish them as we do. At the end of the day, It’s All About The Dogs.

2) ENJOY ADOPTING YOUR DOG.

We want your adoption experience to be fun and enjoyable, from the moment you applied to the day you bring your new dog home and beyond. We will answer all your questions and make the process as simple and enjoyable as possible. We want you to know that not only did you find a great dog, you also made some new friends along the way. We'll do our very best for you. 

3) VOLUNTEERING IS FUN

We volunteer because we love the dogs and find saving a dog's life to be a very enriching experience. Whether it’s 20 minutes a week or 20 hours a week, we value every contribution you make, no matter how large or small. We have so many ways to contribute and we want you to have fun doing it. We are richly rewarded with dog kisses and tail wags and knowing we helped save another precious life.

4) DONATIONS ARE FOR THE DOGS

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue, and we are 100% volunteer based - nobody is paid. Every single penny we get in donations goes to helping our dogs. From medical care to training, food, treats and toys, every dog in our program gets whatever they need to be healthy and happy while they wait for their new home. Donations are the backbone of our rescue, and we simply could not do this without our caring donors.

5) FOR ALWAYS

When you adopt a dog from us, you become part of the family. We love to hear how your new dog is doing and will most likely bug you for updates and pictures. If you ever have questions or need a little advice, we want you to contact us. We want our dogs to find their forever home and we hope our adopters are committed to their new dog however sometimes it’s just not the right fit and we understand. We proudly stand behind all our dogs and will welcome them back when needed. That's our commitment to you and your dog.  

This is incredibly important to us - the meaning of our “5 Stars”. Will we always be perfect? No. But we will always strive to be. Those five stars are a reminder, to make sure we never forget.
