What your adoption includes

Prepared for the journey. Supported for the future.

Adoption fees help provide immunizations, spay or neuter surgery, microchipping, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, a health certificate, and feline FeLV/FIV testing. Dogs over seven months receive heartworm testing and treatment when needed; adult dogs receive a 12-month preventative injection and puppies receive two months of oral prevention.

Temperature-controlled transport, trained staff, individualized behavior planning, crate and leash preparation, a martingale collar for eligible dogs, partner offers, and ongoing guidance help the transition succeed.

Make a difference

Your adoption changes more than one life.

When you adopt from us, you’re not only gaining a new family member but also helping to address the severe overpopulation crisis in Texas. With an estimated 1,000,000 strays in Houston alone, and around 82,000 pets euthanized annually in Texas shelters, your adoption plays a crucial role in making a difference.

Nationwide and local adoptions

Transport stops are not adoption boundaries.

We deliver adopted pets throughout the Pacific Northwest, Northeast, Midwest, and beyond, including drop locations in WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT, TN, KY, WI, MN, and IL. Canadian adopters may pick up in Bellingham, WA, Buffalo, NY, or Brattleboro, VT.

We also happily adopt to loving Texas families. Families outside a scheduled transport region may adopt when they are willing to drive to an available pickup location.
