Dogs Available for Adoption

Please check the Latest Updates Page for news about upcoming arrivals of dogs and other important information.  If you are interested in a dog, you MUST submit an application and then call or email us to let us know which dog you are interested in.

DOGS MARKED ADOPTED ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.  If all dogs are marked Adopted, we don't have any available right now, but we want you to see the types of dogs we get.  We tend to get dogs in batches and then it takes a month or two to get everyone adopted and trained before we get the next batch of dogs, so check back if you don't see any currently available dogs.

 Would you like to help us save more dogs?  Then please donate or volunteer to foster a dog (if in the Chico area.)
