What To Expect

Here's what you should prepare for when adopting one of our adults...

They will shut down.

They will not want to go outside to go potty

They will not want to eat

They will not want to play

They will want to lie in their crate all day

They might show defensive behaviors

It doesn't mean they are sick, bad dogs, etc. It means they have been moved to a new home and are stressed out. This is not your fault or their fault, it just is. IT IS TEMPORARY!

This is why we encourage a period of time in which you simply allow them to adjust at their own pace. People think they have the patience and determination to adopt an adult. Many do not and by not realizing this they are doing themselves and the dog a disservice.

This is also why we require you to come to our home in Center Point, TX 78010 to get to know our dogs in their environment and comfort zone. So you can see what they are like when they are not stressed out, and how they will act when you have given them the proper amount of time, love and patience.

Please do not adopt one of our adults if you are unable to give them this time to adjust to you, your family and their new environment.

We welcome our dogs back at ANY time their lives without judgement. Our dogs do not have to leave here. We have many that are 8+ years old that have simply never found the right home, and that's okay.
