We feel our comprehensive adoption process which includes not only taking the time to match the dog to the prospective new owner but helping to educate that owner in responsible dog care, allows us to find the best homes for our little buddies and the best companions for you!
Each week we use USDA certified transports to bring dogs from high-kill shelters in the south to our fosters where they all receive the appropriate medical care and are placed in nurturing loving homes while they await placement in their forever homes.
Interested in one of our dogs? Great! Now that you've seen them here, you'll need to go to our website where you'll find our list of adoptable dogs (updated every week). Then, it's just a simple process of finding a dog you're interested in and filling out an application on our site.
Once we receive your application, whoever is fostering that particular dog will contact you and do a short over the phone interview to complete your application process. Then, they will set an appointment with you to come out and "visit" with the dog you're interested in (we want to make sure that not only are you a good fit for the dog but that the dog will fit with you). If everything works out, you'll be able to take Rover (or Spot, or Jax) home with you that very day.
A couple of things you should know:
We can't hold dogs over the phone or via email.
Adoption fees vary based on breed.
All of our dogs have been vet checked and dewormed (if possible due to age, additional treatment may be needed).
We provide a spay or neuter voucher to all of our adopters.

LAP DOG ALERT!
Read more about Ginger
Hi, I am Ginger, a beautiful 3-year-old yellow Lab mix with a heart overflowing with love! I have the softest, most gorgeous fur coat and a sweet, easygoing personality that makes it hard not to fall in love with me. I’m a happy girl with a positive outlook on life, and I absolutely LOVE people! I get along well with other dogs, too. Give me belly rubs, a little affection, and a cozy lap to snuggle on, and I’m in heaven! My sweet, gentle nature has a way of drawing people to me, and I wouldn’t have it any other way because I love everyone. All I want is to share my love with someone who will see how special I am and let me be a part of their world.
For over a year, I lived in a rural Kentucky shelter where adoptions were few and far between. Every day was so sad and boring. Thankfully, there were kind, caring ladies who visited us and showed us love and advocated for a rescue for us. Without them, many of us might never have had the chance to feel fresh air or enjoy a little kindness beyond our kennel walls. It was a sad place, and I dreamed of the day my life would finally change. And then, my miracle happened! LaMancha said YES to me and a wonderful foster home in Kentucky opened their heart to me while I waited for my journey to Pennsylvania. I fit right in with my foster family’s three little dogs, was wonderful with the kids, and made friends with everyone I met. I even learned some new tricks, including “sit” and “down,” and I’m housebroken too!
I’m ready for my next chapter. I have so much love to give, and I’m ready to spend the rest of my life showing you just how special a girl like me can be.

25. Princess
PRINCESS is a five year-old English Bulldog who was retired from breeding. Although she is Amish, we wouldn’t say she came from a “Puppymill”. Princess needs a family who will help her transition to home life. She is very very sweet although she can be a little tentative to new situations like linoleum floors and things that she hasn’t been exposed to yet. She is a good car rider and enjoys her walks however, they are HER walks and might not be in the speed or direction that you were planning. Princess gets along well with our Corgi, LILAC, who came from the same farm and she would probably do best with a doggy friend to show her the ropes. Fine with cats. Princess is laid back by day but when we are not there at night, she does turn into a little gremlin and dumps things over and gets into things. In a real home, this behavior might surface while you were at work. Ideally She would have somebody that’s not gone all day and a safe spot while you are away.

Princess will be available at the beginning of October 2026 after her spay surgery. She will also be vaccinated, heartworm tested and micro chipped at that time. Adoption $300. Please fill out an application at www.companimals.org if you were the family that Princess is Looking For!

Adopting a dog with children in Wilmington
Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.
Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
