Rescue · For rehoming

Already loved, needing a home

Surrendered or found dogs living in foster homes around Chester County. None of them is for sale — a small rehoming fee goes straight back into their vet care.

How adopting a rescue works

Slower than buying a puppy, on purpose. These dogs have already been let down once.

STEP ONE

Send your application

Press Apply on the dog you're drawn to. Nine short questions about your home, your schedule and your budget.

STEP TWO

Talk to us and to the foster

The person who lives with the dog tells you what they're really like — including the difficult parts.

STEP THREE

Meet, then take them home

You meet the dog in their foster home first. If it's a match, we arrange the handover together.

Why there is a fee at all

The fee is not a price tag

Nobody profits from a rescue dog here. The rehoming fee covers what we already spent keeping that dog alive and healthy — and it means the dog goes to someone who has thought about the cost.

  • Sterilisation, vaccinations, deworming and any treatment they needed
  • Food and vet visits during their weeks in foster care
  • We tell you the difficult things: fear of men, pulling on lead, house-training gaps
  • If it ever stops working, the dog comes back to us — no questions, no charge

“I applied on a Tuesday, we chatted the same evening, and I met Zola that Saturday. Nobody rushed me and nobody sold me anything.”
