The adoption fee for our precious dogs is $400 for adult dogs and $500 for dogs under one year. ​

If adopting an intact dog from NWH, the adoption is not final until the dog is sterilized. An additional refundable deposit of $300 is required with the adoption fee. We require the dogs to be fixed by 18 months of age or within 60 days of adoption. Acceptable sterilization methods include spay, neuter, vasectomy, surgical ligation, or ovary sparing spay.

We strongly believe in giving dogs the best chance at a new life and training is a must. Thus, we require proof of at least one pre-paid training session with an approved trainer (Petco does not qualify). There will be exceptions and we will work with each adopter to ensure the best possible outcome for their new companion!​

We also believe that some of our dogs will need to do actual work. Thus, when appropriate, we allow placement in a working home through a department or individual owner. This will depend both on the dog and handler. 

Adopters have to make an effort to come at least most of the way to pick up their adopted dog. We may have volunteers able to assist, but please expect to pick up your dog from the foster location. Dogs are mainly located on the west coast such as CA, WA and UT until the rescue expands.

We will be focusing on saving dogs from euthanasia. We will not be able to accept owner surrenders until our rescue grows. Thank you for understanding!
