Adopt a Dog.
Change Both Your Lives.

Every adoption is a beginning—for a dog who needed a second chance, and for you. Because when the right dog finds the right person, it changes everything.

At The Rescued Pup, we believe in thoughtful matches that lead to forever homes, not quick fixes. Our adoption process is personal, intentional, and rooted in love.

What to Expect When You Adopt from Us:


Adopting a dog is a big moment—for you and for them. Our process is designed to support lasting matches, not rushed decisions. Here’s how it works:

  1. Tell Us About Your Timeline
    Start by sharing when you’re hoping to adopt. Whether you’re ready now or just starting to explore, we welcome your interest.

  2. We’ll Follow Up with the Full Application
    We’ll send you our complete adoption form where you can tell us more about your home, lifestyle, and the type of dog you’re looking for—or even select a specific dog you’re interested in.

  3. Let’s Meet Some Dogs
    If we have a good fit, we’ll invite you to meet the dog—either at our rescue or through a scheduled visit. We’ll talk through their personality, needs, and any questions you have.

  4. Complete a Virtual Home Visit
    To ensure it’s the right match for everyone, we’ll schedule a brief virtual home visit. It’s casual and friendly—we just want to set you (and your future pup) up for success.

  5. Sign the Adoption Contract & Make It Official
    Once you’re ready to adopt, we’ll walk you through the adoption contract, collect the adoption fee, and celebrate the start of your new journey together.

From Our Homes to Yours


Unlike a shelter or facility, our dogs live in homes—with us or one of our dedicated fosters. That means we truly get to know their personalities, quirks, and needs. Whether they love car rides, prefer a quiet routine, or need help building confidence. So when it comes time to match them with adopters, we’re not guessing—we’re guiding.

What Our Customers Say…

Melissa’s Experience with The Rescued Pup

Michelle and the staff were amazing. They helped me through the process and actually introduced me to my perfect match! She should be called a matchmaker.

Melissa

Molly’s Story – A Senior Adoption

Molly was a gift. The Rescued Pup saw her—an older dog with deep fear—and gave her a chance to heal. Because of that, we got to love her for the rest of her life. We’ll always be grateful for the connection they helped create.

Jennifer

Harper Rose’s Adoption Journey

Adopting Harper from The Rescued Pup was just the beginning—Michelle has been there every step of the way with advice, product recommendations, and heart.

Billy’s Story (First-Time Adopter)

Michelle took the time to listen when no one else did—and matched me with Billy, my very first dog. Twelve years later, he’s still my best friend. The support from The Rescued Pup has been constant and incredible.

Jennifer

The Bitey Dog Who Became a Best Friend

A few years back I was in a pretty bad place in life—just trying to get through and figure things out. We hadn’t had a dog in years, and I wasn’t looking to bring another one home anytime soon. But we stopped in on a whim… and met Trixie.

I had no idea that little girl would change my life.

People always say we rescue dogs, but I truly believe they rescue us.
